RE: Fundraising car washes and stormwater management
Dear Mr. Mayor and Council Members:
At the January 18, 2010 City Council meeting, the Environmental Stewardship Advisory
Commission submitted a letter recommending the City consider developing a policy
and/or ordinance for fundraising car washes in the city (see attached.) Since you
received, filed and referred the matter to staff, the ESAC has had no communication on
the matter. Since outdoor car wash season is approaching, we encourage the City
Council and staff to act on our recommendation. Members of the Commission would be
happy to work with City staff and provide input into development of such a
policy /ordinance.
We hope you will consider studying this issue since it does impact the City's Stormwater
Management Plan and Best Management Practices.
Sincerely,
Wayne Klostermann, Chair
Environmental Stewardship Advisory Commission
