34 one improvement to our storm sewer infrastructure or install a BMP to alleviate the issue, <br />35 and a regional issue has a larger drainage area and multiple improvements are needed to <br />36 improve the overall drainage and lessen the issue. <br />37 <br />38 There are over 50 projects around the city that require regional improvements to remedy a <br />39 known drainage issue. These projects include the flooding of the Gotfried Pit area, <br />40 Fairview and Hwy 36, flooding at Fairview and County Road C, structure impacts due to <br />41 localized flooding, sinkholes adjacent to structures, and surcharging of manholes and catch <br />42 basins. <br />43 <br />44 Staff is always looking for possible partners and outside funding for projects, and staff <br />45 adjusts project timing based on the current need. With the current stormwater fees, the <br />46 number of improvements that can be completed in a year, along with normal maintenance <br />47 of existing infrastructure, typically yields one to two medium-sized ($250,000 - $500,000) <br />48 projects. Installing projects at this rate will only make minor improvements to our local <br />49 drainage system, and any regional benefits will be negligible. <br />50 <br />51 The current need to replace our aged stormwater infrastructure is ~$2.2 million annually, <br />52 and our maintenance needs are ~$1 million annually. The total annual amount currently <br />53 available for inspections, maintenance, repairs, and projects is ~$1 million in total. <br />54 <br />55 Policy Objectives <br />56 It is City policy to keep City-owned infrastructure in good operating condition and to keep <br />57 systems operating in a safe condition. <br />58 <br />59 Racial Equity Impact Summary <br />60 There should be no equity impacts associated with this request. Stormwater improvements <br />61 provide a system-wide benefit and all residents and property owners in the area benefit by <br />62 the system operating as intended. <br />63 <br />64 Budget Implications <br />65 There are no budget implications for this discussion topic. <br />66 <br />67 Staff Recommendations <br />68 Staff recommends the City Council discuss the stormwater overview and the current <br />69 framework for project prioritization. <br />70 <br />71 Requested Council Action <br />72 <br />73 Discuss the stormwater overview with staff and the current framework for project <br />74 prioritization. <br />75 <br />76 <br />Ryan Johnson, Environmental Manager <br />Prepared by: <br />1.
