STORMWATER/WETLAND Storm Water Capital Improvement Plan and Rate Study Much like the need for a Parks fund, a well thought out capital improvement plan and maintenance regimen is important in establishing a credible charge. Early in the new year, we will explore closing the loop on this issue. Local Water Plan A draft of the Local Water Plan will be presented by our consulting engineer at this meeting. We will not look to adopt the plan at this time, so that Council has a reasonable period to review the documents. After receiving comments from the City Council, we will revise the plan, prior to submittal to the Rice Creek Watershed District. The deadline for submittal is June of 2018.

Ruffridge Johnson The sale of city owned property from the Commerce Drive Business Park to Ruffridge Johnson (RJ)Equipment Company appears to be moving forward. A meeting with RJ representatives, including owner, Jon Pederson, was held on January 10'to discuss the status of project approvals, permits and other logistics. On the City Council agenda are two items needed to keep the project on schedule: Rice Creek Watershed District Stormwater BMP Maintenance Agreement and a Conditional Use Permit. The current project timeline has a closing date on the sale of the property for April 3rd Due to the terms of some of the financing and tax incentive mechanisms being used, construction of the project will proceed quickly after the sale of the property, with completion in September of this year.
