• Draft Draft Draft <br /> have to be answered in the context of the program review and how standards would measure up <br /> against other program activities, given the Council's funding decisions. She said that staff was <br /> ready to proceed with public outreach and adoption after the July 16 work session if it was a part <br /> of the funding package. <br /> Ms. Walch acknowledged the contributions of Ms. Boutell in the development standards project <br /> and briefly reviewed the history of the project and the contents of the information package she <br /> had provided. She said summarized Attachment A, Stormwater Development Standards <br /> Enforcement Program related to BMPs which were privately maintained. <br /> Ms. Boutell used the flow chart in Attachment A-1 to illustrate the enforcement program. She <br /> said the program relies on an inspection enforcement officer to implement it. Inspections would <br /> be scheduled and conducted by the enforcement officer, using clear guidelines, and a manual was <br /> provided for private owners to maintain their facilities. Ms. Boutell said a suggestion was made <br /> to have the enforcement officer visit the site during construction, as well. Ms. Walch added that <br /> a maintenance plan would be generated based on a BMP and recorded to run with the property. <br /> Mr. Lankston asked who would be responsible for approving BMPs and reviewing construction. <br /> Ms. Walch replied that Peggy Kepler's team would be responsible for reviewing the BMP, with a <br /> copy sent to the enforcement officer. She said the maintenance plan would be generated from the <br /> site-specific information. <br /> The group discussed whether the maintenance plan, once recorded, could be changed to <br /> incorporate new techniques to improve water quality. <br /> Ms. Walch discussed Attachment B, which summarized the financial implications of adopting <br /> new development standards. <br /> Ms. Childs said that a senior planner position in the Land Use Permits section was being <br /> eliminated and expressed concern with implementing any new regulations. <br /> Storm water Policy Team June 3, 2003 Page 3 <br />
