Chair Stenlund noted that in the City of Minneapolis, everyone paid a stormwater <br /> fee, which was then reduced according to the pervious features incorporated in <br /> your landscape (rain barrels, rain gardens, swales, etc.). <br /> Mr. Schwartz advised that staff recently held a conversation with the City Council <br /> at which time they approved a credit program; however, he noted that it didn't <br /> apply to the features added if they were done to address exceeding the 30% <br /> impervious surface coverage and necessary to obtain a permit, which was <br /> mandated by the NPDES permit for the City. <br /> Mr. Anderson opined that it would be nice if some mitigation were available at <br /> some point, especially given the success he'd observed with his rain garden. <br /> Member Cihacek suggested that over the next year, the PWETC evaluate the <br /> current structure or program and its efficacy to see if there was a better way to <br /> meet the goals for residential properties. <br /> Chair Stenlund reminded members that the joint meeting would occur on <br /> Monday, June 23rd, followed by the PWETC meeting on Tuesday, June 24tH <br /> 8.
