CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION OF FEBRUARY 26, 2003 <br /> STORMWATER PROGRAM <br /> Council Questions/Requests — By Councilor <br /> David Kelly <br /> - If we desire to change what we're doing, we should go back to CSWMP <br /> and modify it if it's too expensive. Please send a copy of CSWMP to <br /> me. <br /> - An audit of the planning expenses may be useful. <br /> - Staff has already done some prioritization by making cuts in FY04. <br /> - I would love to have comparative research — cities with major rivers <br /> running through them. Would be useful background. <br /> - Public credibility issue. It would be a valuable exercise for the <br /> department to provide a lay person's point of view. A major <br /> accomplishments list/major challenges list. Instead of listing "Royal <br /> Node," describe the benefits it will provide. <br /> - Look at CSWMP first. <br />• <br /> Scott Meisner <br /> - There are 45 actions not part of the permit. Can you break those down <br /> for us? <br /> - What is core and what else is there? Core services and what they cost. <br /> Core, mandated, and other. Would eventually like a summary response <br /> in writing. Not a line-item, but looking at the permit, CSWMP, and other <br /> and describe what happens under each and what the costs are. <br /> Gary Pape <br /> - The amount spent on billing and financial management jumped out — <br /> may need an audit. <br /> - How about internal administration, how do we compare with other <br /> communities? <br /> - Assume we've never been out of compliance with NPDES? <br /> - Have we compared our management of the open waterway system vs. <br /> sumps at outfalls? <br /> - Have we looked at planning for all drainages for the UGB? Might be <br /> good to do all the planning at once — get it over with. <br /> - Agree with David for line item on billing. <br /> - Wetland in Natural Resource Plan — can we break it out? <br /> - From FY03 to FY04, there is a jump in operating (7.6M to 9.42M). <br />
