Dear Mr. Mayor and Council Members:
At the November 1, 2004 City Council meeting, you reviewed information provided by
the Bee Branch Citizens Advisory Committee (BBCAC) and City staff regarding
planning for the stormwater management system in Dubuque. A letter from eight of the
Committee members was also submitted suggesting additional and/or alternative
methods for handling stormwater. The Environmental Stewardship Advisory
Commission (ESAC) would also like to endorse the attached rebate program, proposed
by those eight members of the Committee. Members of the BBCAC are suggesting a
stormwater management rebate program in addition to the items mentioned in their
letter.
Oftentimes, incentives give a motivation for people to participate on a voluntary basis in
various programs. The Environmental Stewardship Advisory Commission believes this
could occur with incentives for practicing conservation and erosion control for
stormwater management.
Please consider these rebate options as part of the total stormwater management
program.
