MEMORANDUM <br /> Date: May 16, 2002 <br /> To: Public Works Department Review Team <br /> From: Therese Walch, Stormwater Management Team Chair <br /> Mark Schoening, Public Works Review Group Liaison <br /> Subject: Stormwater Program Management/Coordination Recommendations <br /> The Public Works Department review process (a.k.a. Towery project) identified issues related <br /> to the current management of the stormwater program. These issues were consistent with <br /> issues about stormwater program management which were raised previously through other <br /> venues and were already being discussed by the Stormwater Management team. The Public <br /> Works Review Group charged the Stormwater Management team with continuing the work to <br /> evaluate these issues, coming up with a recommendation, and reporting back. The attached <br /> report is the result of our work over the past several months examining these issues, and <br /> discussing and evaluating potential solutions. We will be presenting this report at the next <br /> scheduled Towery meeting on May 17. <br /> Subsequent to the Towery presentation, these issues will be handled separately from the Public <br /> Works review process. Reasons for this include: the issues raised have origins which precede the <br /> Public Works review process; there is a Stormwater Policy Team which will ultimately provide <br /> direction on these issues; and there is still some controversy related to the issues and potential <br /> solutions. <br />
