May 14, 2014 Park Board Meeting

Stormwater Subcommittee Update

  • The full Committee did not meet due to a miscommunication on the meeting date, which was dependent on information.  Fortunately, we were able to speak to the City Manager regarding information slated for discussion on the Park Board's meeting agenda tonight. There is another tentative meeting date scheduled.

Unfinished Business: Stormwater Management - City of Elmhurst Memorandum

In response to the District's request for an update from the City on its progress to date in addressing stormwater issues, City staff provided two memorandums listing initiatives including stormwater management policies for new construction and existing homes, review of maximum allowable impervious lot coverage, rear-yard drain program suspension and revised requirements.  Executive Director Rogers suggested the Board utilize information presented in the memorandums for future discussion.  Commissioner Spaeth stated that the City's initiatives are a good start but questioned whether it was enough.  The Board awaits V3 Engineering's review of the City's stormwater plan and the City's memorandums in continued discussions.
