Item No. 0 9 9 4 5
Date: 1-12-2009
Item/Subject: Ordinance, Amending Chapter 9, Section 9-8 of the Code of Ordinances to Clarify
that Issues Involving Stormwater Management and Funding are Assigned to the
Council's Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.
Responsible Department: Legal
Commentary:
City staff have been working with a group of stakeholders from the Penjajawoc Marsh/Bangor
Mall area to address water quality issues in the Penjajawoc Stream. These issues are primarily
the result of non -point source pollution within the watershed carried to the stream by
stormwater as well as historic and natural changes that have occurred within the stream's
riparian areas. An individual involved in these discussions has requested that the City ordinance
that establishes Council Committees and their jurisdictions be amended to clearly state that
issues involving stormwater management and funding are assigned to the Transportation and
Infrastructure Committee. The attached Ordinance amendment would make this change.
The majority of issues related to stormwater would generally be handled by City
Departments/ Divisions such as Engineering, Planning, Code Enforcement, and Public Works, all
of which currently fall under the jurisdiction of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.
It has also been staff's practice to take stormwater issues to this Committee. As a result, this
proposal will not change our actual practice. It will, however, make it clear to everyone that
Transportation and Infrastructure has this responsibility.
