OLD BUSINESS: None
NEW BUSINESS:
President Smith requested that the Board discuss the Drainage Ordinance Review. City Engineer
Crouch distributed the Stormwater Ordinance to discuss revisions that the committee had already
reviewed before bringing it before the Board. Listed are items to be changed and need to better define
who "The City" is when that term is referenced in the ordinance, perhaps by definition, or in the
preamble of the ordinance.
Page 16—Post construction pollution prevention plan. Require a formal review for all lots prior to
issuance of an individual lot Plot Plan Permit.
Page 17—(Item F) Determination of impact Drainage area —Seems to give the Board some discretion.
We'd need to go through a process to determine what the definition of an impact drainage area is. This
should be written such that the Drainage Board would make a RECOMMENDATION to the City Council
regarding the adoption of the impact area, as well as the special terms and conditions for the
development.
Page 22—(Table of fines) Remove accidental and intentional categories. See ordinance markup for
changes in fine rates.
Page 26—(Stormwater User Fee Credits) Remove the section from the ordinance. Include the direct
discharge credit in a modified Stormwater Fee Ordinance. Include a Right of Entry clause (Section 7) in
the modified Stormwater Fee Ordinance as well.
Mr. Burgess made a motion to recommend and enter a Draft Agreement Contract with
Christopher Burke to make the changes of technical and draft Ordinance to be completed and returned
to the Drainage Board by the first week of April, 2019. Mr. Burke is to advise if this would be an hourly
rate or a flat fixed fee to be recommended to the Sewer Board. Motion was seconded by Mr.
Ketenbrink. Motion approved unanimously
PUBLIC COMMENTS: None
REPORTS:
City Engineer Crouch advised that the cost of postage will start be listed as Administrative Fees
which will pay our part.
City Engineer Crouch advised that there wasn't enough parking for Drainage, Sewer and
Wastewater employees to park. The Wastewater employees have volunteered to build a parking lot
next to Renfro, but the cost of materials would cost approximately$60,000. This cost would be divided
with the Drainage part consisting of$20,000.
