City Council Work Session Meeting Monday,April 16, 2018 Page 2 City Manager Trudgeon briefly highlighted this item as detailed in the RCA and related attachments dated April 16, 2018. Councilmember McGehee wanted to understand whether this applied only for City-owned BMPs. She asked to hear from Public Works Director Culver about his plans and also what the City needs to do in terms of ordinances to make this all work an ongoing and sustainable process for all BMPs, both public and pri- vate.. Public Works Director Culver responded that the City has requirements for storm water mitigation when it comes to excessive impervious surface on private prop- erty. Staff needs to develop a program to follow up with the property owner. Part of that process is not only private BMP's, but also addressing the other properties that have had storm water devices installed over many years. Staff plans to come before the Council with proposed changes to the storm water ordinance to provide more enforcement ability. An education process can also happen. He noted that it is important about staggering the check-ins and follow-ups, so staff does not have to follow up every single one in a single year. He anticipates the letters to residents will start being sent by the end of the year. Councilmember McGehee stated most people were told that every five years they were to be certified. She would like to know how certification is happening. She added that it is important to address this,because the longer this goes on, the more expensive it is for the owner to get the rain garden fully operational and certified. Councilmember Willmus asked whether property owners were notified about an ongoing inspection program that they would have to pay for in the future. Public Works Director Culver responded that a letter is signed with the home- owner, and that has been the policy for at least for the past five years. McGehee moved, Willmus seconded, approval of a contract with Outdoor Lab Landscape Design, Inc. for 2018-2020 Best Management Practice Maintenance Program.
