58 Z 1In. CITY OF SAN MARCOS OFFICE MEMORANDUM FROM: Mayor J. E. Younger Members of the City Council Via A. C. GOnZale~~~ty Manager Stephen M. Jenki~Director of Environment and Engineering TO: .sUBJECT: Stormwater Drainage :lATE: November 12, 1986 RE: INTRODUCTION At the request of the City Manager, the staff has evaluated options for improving the manner in which major drainage projects are developed and funded. While the current process has brought badly needed improvements in the Mill Street area, city-wide priorities for drainage improvements have never been established. The purpose of this memo is to propose a mechanism for establishing drainage priorities, estimating the total cost of the necessary improvements and selecting appropriate funding alternatives. CITIZEN'S STORM DRAINAGE ADVISORY BOARD Whatever priorities are established or major projects identified, the key to a successful program of stormwater drainage control improvements is an early consensus of opinion. All citizens must be given the opportunity to have their drainage problems evaluated on the same basis. In order to involve as many citizens as possible in directing the improvements of storm drainage, the staff is recommending that the city council appoint a Citizen's Storm Drainage Advisory Board to identify existing areas of poor drainage, recommend solutions and to develop the mechanism for anticipating future storm drainage needs. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES This board would be charged with seven goals and objectives: 1. Conduct public hearings to identify areas of problem drainage. 2. Establish priorities for construction projects intended to resolve major drainage problems identified in public hearings conducted by the board. CSM-100
