To: Grass Lake WMO Board and Staff From: Karen Chandler Subject: Evaluation and Accountability Date: January 20, 2000 Project: 23/62 645 Page: 2 Performance Analysis The WMO will work with the member cities to set goals and a schedule for completion of implementation tasks. City tasks should be included as policies in the W1VI0 watershed plan; WMO tasks will be included as both policies and implementation tasks. Examples of tasks include: • Water quality monitoring • Identification of stormwater direct dischazge points on a map • Removal of direct dischazge points, as part of road reconstruction and other projects, through addition of detention ponds, grit chambers, diversion to existing ponds, etc. • Completion of planned maintenance tasks, such as street sweeping, pond inspections, catch basin cleaning, and excavation of accumulated sediments. • Identification of industrial areas relative to storm sewer system inlet points. • Identification of in-place best management practices. • Completion of wetland inventory and classification. • Installation of infiltration practices. • Erosion and sediment control inspections and enforcement. Measurement of Progress Every year, the WMO and the cities will meet to discuss progress on the goals set the previous year. The cities should also make regular reports to the WMO Board regazding progress. The progress will be reported in some fashion back to the cities and the citizens. The idea is that the progress reports (or `report cards') themselves will be the incentive for the city and the WMO to complete tasks. Will other incentives or actions be needed? For example, if a city could not complete a task because of lack of funds/no support from their council, would it be appropriate/helpful for a WMO Board representative to go to the council to get support for the WMO/task?
