Centerville Surface Water Management Plan Mr. Nyberg briefed the Council on the revised updates to the surface water management plan (SWMP). Mr. Nyberg reported the Metropolitan Council has been notified that the City's shoreland ordinance will be completed by the spring of 1999. Furthermore, the City will need to adopt a flood plain ordinance and update the stormwater utility fee. Mr. Nyberg noted the City can turn over the floodplain regulation to Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD). However, RCWD is requiring structures to be two feet above flood level. Councilmember Brenner stated the City's flood reduction project was executed to allow construction at one foot above the floodplain. Mr. Nyberg stated the watershed recently changed their regulations but, the City can protest the changes to a higher agency. Mayor Wilharber stressed a regulation concern and suggested discussing this issue with the full Council.
