considerations; and using drywall as an example of a substance that could <br />become a chemical pollutant if left outside over a period of time without <br />proper containment. <br />Duane -degree call <br />Given the numerous revisions still under discussion, discussion ensued <br />regarding the timing process in recommending a final draft ordinance to <br />the City Council, their adoption and subsequent publication; based on Ms. <br />Bloom's certification in March of 2010 of the City's SWPPP and its <br />intent. Ms. Bloom advised that she could report that a re-write was in <br />process if this ordinance remained incomplete at that filing; however, she <br />expressed concern in a potential audit. If this ordinance were adopted in <br />January of 2010, she expressed her support for that timeframe. <br />Further discussion included NIl'CA guidelines or requirements needing <br />clarification by the City Attorney (i.e., page 4, #7 (properly disposed <br />of... "); and the need for definition of "structural versus non-structural" <br />based on best management practice (page 5, Section I). <br />Ms. Bloom noted that a number of those items identified could be further <br />discussed by staff and the City Attorney, and refocused Commission <br />discussion to those items identified in the staff report. Some of those <br />items were removed and others revised, with Ms. Bloom noting each <br />specific item, and advising that she would return to the next meeting <br />incorporating those specific items. <br />Public Comment <br />An audience member, preferring to remain off-mike, expressed <br />appreciation of what the PWET Commission and City was attempting to <br />accomplish with this ordinance. The speaker reviewed their personal <br />situation over the last 18 months in front of their residence based on the <br />practices of a neighbor, and the polluted situation they'd experienced, <br />without recourse for them due to the City not having an enforceable <br />ordinance in place, during that time of illegal dumping. The speaker <br />opined that the situation had impacted the value of their home, based on <br />first impressions and curb appeal. The speaker advised that they took <br />pride in their home and their neighborhood on Belmont; however, this <br />isolated situation had negative impacts on their home and quality of life, <br />that of the neighborhood, as well as impacting pedestrians and bicyclers in <br />that area. The speaker opined that the resulting ordinance needed to be <br />enforceable; and again expressed appreciation for the work of the PWET <br />Commission and staff. <br />Mr. Schwartz briefly reviewed the continuing monitoring by staff of the <br />situation, and attempts to address the situation under the City's current <br />nuisance ordinance, with limited recourse. <br />Page 10 of 11 <br />
