Re: Phase II of NPDES MS4 Permitting Task Listing
Dear Mr. Mayor and Council Members:
In collaboration with staff from the Engineering Department, the Environmental
Stewardship Advisory Commission (ESAC) discussed its potential role in Phase II of the
NPDES permit. Staff outlined a number of tasks as delineated by the permit (see
attached.) The Commission sees its role as one of technical review and study of the
issues, along with oversight, endorsement, and the ability to review community
education materials. The Commission has also offered to assist in brainstorming ideas
to complete the permit tasks.
Engineering will periodically, most likely on a quarterly basis, bring items to the
Commission for review and input, etc. The ESAC believes it can serve both the City
Council and the citizens by performing these functions during implementation of Phase
II of the NPDES permit.
The ESAC respectfully requests City Council concurrence on serving in this capacity.
Mic e ow, Chair
Environmental Stewardship Advisory Commission
