Storm water code amendments (work session)
Discussed
Public Works staff presented updates to the storm water ordinance, including a new $1,000 bond to ensure compliance between building completion and landscaping, a requirement for a storm water map and questionnaire, and a retrofitting plan for established sites that adversely affect storm water. Council Member LaNae Millet asked about turning abandoned canals into bike paths; staff said the city would have to buy the right-of-way and converting water conveyance rights would be very hard.
