Home My WebLink About[05] Storm Water Hearing 5 Council Agenda Item MEETING DATE: June 4, 2013 AGENDA ITEM: Public Hearing – Storm MS4 Storm Water Plan for the Year 2011 SUBMITTED BY: Public Works BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: In 2001 the City was required to complete a storm water management study and from the study formulate a storm water management plan. This ruling was the beginning of the City Storm water development fee and utility fee. When the Council adopted the storm water fees a five year capital improvement plan was adopted at the same time. The CIP projected improvements and is used as a guide for forecasting rates. In 2009 the City computerized the tracking of storm water activities and purchases software. Since June of 2009, the Maintenance Staff has entered into the computer all storm water activities to keep accurate data for mandated reporting. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: A large part of the program is education and outreach. The area Cities formed a working group entitled “Central MN Water Education Alliance”. This cooperative effort provides a variety of education and outreach. Attached are the annual reports illustrates the type of education and outreach of which includes: radio ads, billboards, newsletters, website information, and creation of a separate site and newspaper ads and articles. In addition, the CMWEA sponsors a water day each year which is held at Millstream Park. This event is and educational event for grade school children from the St. Cloud area and highly attended. Different stations are setup illustrating the importance of protecting the resources with cause and effect examples. This event is always held in September. The City contribution to this program is nominal and is also illustrated in the attached annual report. The other part of the permitting process is site management and controls along with pond/outfall maintenance. The City Building Official assists the City with enforcement of sites through the building permit process. Violations are cited and remedied through either administrative citations or development agreements with developers. The maintenance staff keeps an inventory of all outfalls and ponds, conducting routine maintenance on each as well. Not all areas are cleaned each year, but they are all monitored. The City Engineer assists the City with the reporting and maintenance process. BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: The report itself does not include a financial impact but the permitting process utilizes staff resources. ATTACHMENTS: Request for Council Action Hearing Notice REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION: Conduct the public hearing and incorporate any comments into the MS4 permit and authorize the submission of the 2012 report, meeting the reporting requirement.

The mission of CMWEA is to develop and implement educational programs that encourage individuals in Central Minnesota to protect water resources by increasing their knowledge and making simple behavior changes.

In addition to the normal campaign, CMWEA will partner with Minnesota Department of Health through an Emerging Contaminants Grant to create awareness and suggest simple behavior changes to reduce new contaminant levels in our water resources. Communication and participation will be crucial. Service hours from members are needed if CMWEA is to maintain and/or increase its effectiveness. With the amount of unique website and blog hits exceeding 100,000 annually, more effort will be required for the website and keeping the blog current. All members should submit blog items to Carrie Raber on a regular basis. Summary The CMWEA public education campaign was successful in 2012. Consistent education messages were promoted cost-effectively throughout Central Minnesota. Members of CMWEA were able to take advantage of a productive partnership to meet and exceed required public education and outreach requirements. 11 CMWEA partnered with Recycling Association of Minnesota to conduct a rain barrel and compost bin sale.
