Text of Legislative File CM-2014-431 '
The City's Regional Stormwater Management Program (RSMP)was adopted in the 1980's in an
effort to address storm water detention and conveyance from a regional perspective and to provide
an option to address the impacts on the City's storm water conveyance system caused by new
development.
The current RSMP is no longer sustainable in many watersheds in the City because of storm water
conveyance capacity, erosion of open drainageways caused by widespread development over the €€(
last 25 or 30 years, and inadequate funding under the program. Currently, residential development i
can pay into the RSMP at$800 per acre and commercial development can pay into the program at
$2,400 per acre.
This contract will analyze the program and provide recommendations for updating the program if the
City desires to continue with the program.
s
Staff recommends approval.
