Adopt Master Storm Sewer Plan
After several months of preparation and review, the Storm Sewer Ad Hoc Co�nittee
along with the Utilities Commission is presenting this plan' to the Council �or
their approval. A brief chronological sum�nary of the prc�gress of this grQject
along with recommended aetion for Council to consider follows.
In early 1988 Council authorized Staff to prepare request for proposals to select
an engineering firm to prepare a Master Storm Sewer Plan for the Western portion
of the Gity, Gouncil felt that it was time that we bagan to plan for future
storm sewer needs rather than to react to them. Later that summer, Barr
Engi.neering was seleeted from four consultzng engineering firms to pxepare the
Master Plan. In additio�, the Council appointed a Ca.tizens Advi�ory Con�nittee to
grovide input to the development of this plan. The Starm Sewer Co�nittee
consisted of Steven Toombs, Wesley Hasbrouck, Harry Willcox, Arnie Jensen,
Forrest Krogh and Ray Barton. Their role in the development of this plan is
discussed briefly under Section 2: Watershed Overview. The Co�ittee a�et with
Steve Klein of Barr Engineering, myseif and Steve Jilk four times. This span of
peri0d from October 1988 to June i989. The final meeting eonsisted of reviewing
the draft copy of the drainage plan which resulted in a view minor r�vision�
giving us the drainage plan we are considering this evening.
Steve Kiein, of Barr Engineering, will present an overview of the drainage plan
and wi11 be available to answer questions Council may have re�arding this plan.
Subsequent items that will resui� frczm this plan that we n�ed to di,scuss in
further detail, at a later date, will be:
1. Future Storm Sewer Connection Charges and/or district wide assess�nents
2. Operational grocedures for land-iocked ponds
3. Use o€ storm water utility districts
Reeommended action for Gouncil to consider is to adopt the Master Storm Sew�r
Dr�inage Plan for the Western porti�n of the City pf Rosemou�t datsd May, 19$9.
