CCI Stormwater Pollution Reduction Draft Ordinance Meeting August 2007

             The meeting was convened to order at 7:05 pm by Chairman John Stead.  Present were citizens Dave Dumas, Richard Koehler, Audrey Farnsworth, Ralph Farnsworth, Debbie Pasternak, David Bellemore, and one member of the media.  Chairman Stead passed out copies of the agenda and of the minutes of the meeting of the previous week.  The group was led by John in the pledge of allegiance and the minutes were corrected.  John then started the discussion section of the agenda.  He asked the group for recommendations to be sent to the Planning Commission.  David Bellemore said it could be recommended as written or as written with suggested changes.  Dave Dumas said he could see nothing that needed changing.  John said to consider the comments of the last meeting of 24 members.  Richard Koehler asked about changes to the table of contents in the Stormwater Manual.  He wanted a way to track changes for the Planning Commission by making changes only to a master copy.  John said there some pagination changes to be made.  There was discussion about what form the master copy should take (hard or digital) and who should prepare it (professional or in-house staff).

             Ralph Farnsworth made a motion to make one clean, complete hard copy and one digital disk of the Manual to go to the Dunes City Planning Commission with a “do pass” recommendation from the Stormwater Pollution Reduction Draft Ordinance CCI Committee.  It was seconded by David Bellemore.  John Stead offered a friendly amendment to the motion that the Stormwater Pollution Reduction Draft subcommittee will do the “final clean up” of the Manual based on recommendations of the CCI with there being no substantive changes.  The motion passed unanimously.

            John then turned to the draft ordinance.  David Bellemore made a motion to send the draft Stormwater Pollution Reduction Ordinance dated 07-02-2007 to the Planning Commission with a “do pass as written” recommendation.  It was seconded by Dave Dumas.  There was a discussion started by Richard Koehler about surety bonds to protect the city in case of failure of stormwater measures and when they should be addressed (here at the CCI, at the Planning Commission, or at City Council).  Several felt that it would be best to get advice from City Council before proceeding with surety bonds.  The motion was passed unanimously.

             Ralph Farnsworth suggested the subcommittee do a cover letter to the Planning Commission as a matter of correct business form.  There was group consensus indicated.

             A motion for adjournment was made by Ralph Farnsworth, seconded by David Bellemore.  Passed unanimously at 7:58pm .

 Respectfully submitted, David Bellemore
