Unfinished Business: Stormwater Management Discussion
Board Vice President Ubriaco opened the table for stormwater management discussion. Commissioner Kies asked for clarification on the aforementioned permeable paver concept at York Commons parking lot. Commissioner Howard stated that initial costs are significant but if spread over 50 years, it would pay for itself as it does not require an energy source.
The Board discussed other water retention options including using City property for stormwater retention, the City purchasing flood area property, Berteau property deed restrictions, and upland stormwater management.
