. . . ~ ~~HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: June 4, 2002 TO: Agenda Item 7.A FROM: Mayor and City Council Joe Lynch, City Administrator Aaron Parrish, City Planner j}fJ SUBJECT: Local Stonnwater Management Plan In an ongoing effort to receive approval of our Local Stonnwater Management Plan, City staff has recently met with the Rice Creek Watershed District Administrator and Engineers.

Presently, most stonnwater and drainage improvements are constructed in conjunction with the City's pavement management program. In addition, we will note in the plan that the composite index used to evaluate street projects factors in existing drainage, or lack thereof, in the area. 2. Establish timeframes associated with the various capital improvements Capital improvements within the Local Stonnwater Management Plan are currently prioritized on a scale of 1 to 3. The Watershed District has asked that general time frames be attached to specific capital improvements. While the implementation timelines do not represent absolute timelines, they do provide a mechanism for monitoring progress. As such, the time frames will span 3 years to allow flexibility. Timeframes for specific projects are being assigned using the tentative 5 year PMP as a base. This effort will be coordinated between the City Engineer and Project Engineer. 3. Complete the evaluation of existing water quality treatment for all subwatersheds in 2003 or 2004. The estimated expense for this particular activity is $60,000.
