Unfinished Business: Stormwater Management Discussion - Initial Finds of V3 Engineering Peer Review
Executive Director Rogers provided the Board with V3 Engineering's initial peer review of Burke Engineering's conceptual designs developed for the City of Elmhurst's stormwater solutions. The overarching theme of the V3 report was that the proposed designs, as presented in conceptual form, do not adequately take into account recreational and playability considerations. After Board review and discussion, including comment about similar facilities in other communities and their playability, the number of homes impacted, long-term maintenance considerations, changes in City building codes affecting stormwater capacity and the significant amount of time and resources that the District is allocating in aiding the City to find a solution that would normally be spent on providing recreational opportunities, the Board agreed that V3's findings should be sent to the City for comment and will be the focus of the next stormwater subcommittee meeting.
Future Agenda
No additions were added to the current list. Stormwater discussions will remain on the Future Agenda until V3’s final report. The Board Policy Committee expects to set a meeting date.
