Mr. Schwartz noted that developers have contact early in the design process with <br />the City and Watershed Districts; and potential financial partnerships with those <br />agencies. <br />Discussion included development of educational materials for those remodeling <br />or building new single-family homes that highlighted new technologies in site <br />water management; zoning code rewrite including Best Management practices <br />and recertified periodically and recorded with the property for future information; <br />potential recognition of those property owners using proactive techniques; and <br />potential tours of those sites to provide examples. <br />Member Felice suggested, and Member Stenlund expressed support, for educating <br />the public on these ideas and recognizing citizens who took the initiative to "think <br />green;" and the value of visible examples, since many of the storm water <br />management systems are underground and part of the. unseen infrastructure. <br />Chair DeBenedet expressed his interest in hearing from City Engineer Bloom at a <br />future PWET Commission meeting the process for developers to receive such <br />information and how the City encourages positive storm water treatment on <br />properties. <br />Member Vanderwall noted the need to raise awareness in the residential and <br />business community; and provide links on the City website for easy reference for <br />the public, with ongoing monitoring of the website information to ensure it <br />doesn't become obsolete. <br />Member Stenlund noted the need to recognize the audience by providing different <br />materials, whether for the general public or "as builts" or technical information <br />for developers for commercial projects. <br />Members concurred that there needed to be future discussion and brainstorming <br />of ideas at a future PWET Commission meeting. <br />Chair DeBenedet noted previous discussion for storm water credit fees built into <br />the fee structure, with Mr. Schwartz advising that is still a consideration being <br />considered by staff if and when the storm water ordinance is rewritten, since it's <br />initial enactment in the 1980's and given changes in storm water management <br />today. <br />Chair DeBenedet suggested that discussion of those credits be included in future <br />PWET Commission discussions to achieve a sustainable storm water system. <br />8.
