1. NPDES Storm Water Permit Public Involvement
Mr. Gottfried reviewed the work plan for citizen involvement in the development of the
Storm Water Management Program Plan (SWMPP). He explained the series of three public workshops that would be held in June and October, 2003 and January, 2004 and
described the outreach efforts that would be made to involve interest groups and stakeholders in the planning process. He emphasized that the process would include
many opportunities for feedback and comment from those impacted by development of the plan. Commissioners would be provided with information throughout the process. He
invited comments and recommendation from commissioners and asked for their support of the citizen involvement work plan as the City moved forward with the SWMPP planning
process.
Commissioner Beyer suggested that materials be posted on the City’s website as they were developed and comments are accepted via e-mail. He also suggested that e-mail be
included as a way to notify stakeholders of the availability of materials for review and comment.
In response to a question from Commissioner Carpenter, Mr. Gottfried said the
Commission would be shown the proposed stakeholder group list prior to its being used for outreach purposes.
Commissioner Shaver suggested that the City consider notifying major affected parties,
such as homebuilders, architects, and developers, that the planning process was being initiated and solicit concerns or suggestions. Commissioner Beyer recommended
attending the monthly meetings of various groups to discuss the planning process.
Commissioner Beyer, seconded by Commissioner Malloy, moved to approve
the SWMPP Public Involvement Plan and Schedule for the City’s submittal of the MS4 permit application. The motion passed unanimously, 7:0. Commissioner Phillips adjourned the Committee for Citizen Involvement at 7:20 p.m.
