MEMORANDUM
TO: Dublin City Council
FROM: Judy Stillwell, Chair Public Service Committee
DATE: March 17, 1994
SUBJECT: Proposed Ordinance 22-94 "Amending the Annual Appropriations
~ Ordinance for FY Ending 12/31/94"
1
Background:
The Public Service Committee has had the issue of stormwater management before it for some
time. In December 1992, the Committee recommended to Council that staff immediately begin the
process of providing a comprehensive inventory of the City's existing stormwater facilities to
determine areas of critical need.
A stream survey was conducted during Spring 1993. This survey showed approximately 36 miles
of private and public owned streams. The following is a brief summary of the stream survey:
70 locations in critical condition requiring immediate remedial action.
14 locations in severe condition require further engineering analysis for a long-term
solution.
148 locations in poor condition requiring action within the next several months.
This program of stream cleaning will consist of removing obstructions from the public and private
portion of the streams during 1994, The work will primarily pertain to retaining a contractor with
-- equipment and manpower to remove obstructions and foreign objects from the stream beds
throughout the City and transporting it to an approved site in an environmentally acceptable
manner, The proposed ordinance appropriates $200,000.00 to undertake a contract not to exceed
this amount for 70 critical locations noted in the report.
Since streams work as units, it is important that critical obstruction be removed from private and
public portions right away to prevent flooding of the properties abutting the streams. Failure to
perform this work may result not only in flooding of public and private properties, but may also
cause damage to the streets, bridges, culverts, etc.
.
.'
. Typically a stormwater infrastructure system also includes stormsewer pipes, manholes, inlets,
culverts, and retention/detention basins. The City does not currently have a comprehensive
managment policy or program for its stormwater system (84 miles of storm sewers, 21 retention
and detention basins, 48 miles of ditches, etc,), The committe further recommends that a study
be initiated at a cost not to exceed $150,000,00 which will result in recommendations for such
a program. These funds are included in the 1994 Budget, Elements of the study include the
following,
RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMITTEE
;,;,jk~
, Initiate a comprehensive urban storm water infrastructure system management study for
'..... streams, storm sewers, and ponds for the prevention, operation, maintenance and
improvements to include the following elements:
. Develop a master engineering plan and prioritize implementation program for
operation, maintenance and improvement for streams, stormsewers, manholes,
inlets, etc.
. Determine the best administrative management structure and maintenance
policies for USWIS - public and private,
. Assess current storm water requirements and policies for new developments
and recommend modifications where appropriate.
. Estimate cost requirements and possible funding sources for an on-going,
preventative maintenance and improvement program.
. Study must be completed within one year from award of the contract at a one-
time, not-to-exceed cost of $150,000, which has already been appropriated in
the current budget. Recommendations must be sensitive to the naural condition
of healthy streams.
. Study must recommend an education program.
. Study must address the need and type of enforcement policy.
. Study must address the adequacy of the MORPC guidelines in the context of
the City of Dublin's needs.
. Study must identify possible outside funding sources (grants, loans, etc.).
