George Oswald of Camp, Dresser & McKee provided the city council with a handout, ~ copy of which is attached, covering estimated costs for improvements. He stated 402C of the Local Government Code states how to implement stormwater management, how to fund, etc., and it is considered a utility rather than a tax. He defined the necessary steps as follows: to approve a concept, estimate the scope and revenue needs, develop a rate structure, have a public information program, adopt a storm utility ordinance and implement a billing system. He estimated a fast tracking time frame to be 12-18 months and stated a rate structure could cost $240,000.00 to prepare. Mayor Morris opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to speak. Tom Roach stated there are weeds in the open drainage ditches in Westover, and children are playing in them. He is amazed the City could consider more open ditches when the present ones are already an eyesore and dangerous. Mr. Oswald stated the drainage can be designed more elaborately for additional money (Mr. Guerra present at this time - 8:32 p.m.). Dianne Wassenich stated she and others from the River Foundation have been present at the public hearings on the Drainage Master Plan. They do not want neighborhood runoff to go directly into the river and recommend the city place sedement traps and filters to keep this from occurring.

Mr. Cox stated Phil Neighbors of the Chamber of Commerce would be interested in providing the information to the Chamber Board for their review and possible support. The Council wants to look at this matter again in one month and directed Staff to provide publicity on what we are looking at doing.
