City of Mounds View Page 5 LSWMP Proposal June 19, 2008 Deliverables:The assessment section of the LSWMP, surface water management standards comparison, and narrative on the status of current ordinances and proposed ordinance revisions. City Staff Responsibilities:Review and comment on report sections. Task 4: Integrate Existing Surface Water Models The 2002 draft LSWMP includes surface water modeling information from the City’s 1992 Surface Water Management Plan. In addition, the Rice Creek Watershed District has previously prepared surface water system models for portions of the City. This task will review the available modeling information and integrate the modeling output data, providing a valuable surface water management tool for the City and compliance with statutory requirements. This summary will be described in a section of the report and to the extent it is available, each separate model’s input data and output will be summarized within the report appendices. This modeling discussion will be written into the Assessment Section of the LSWMP. The drainage area map will also be updated to the extent necessary. This task does not propose any new modeling or significant remodeling efforts for any portion of the City. Rather, this task will collect, review, and summarize already existing modeling information. Deliverables:Model summary in LSWMP report. City Staff Responsibilities:Facilitate acquisition of modeling data from outside entities. Task 5: Develop Goals and Policies and Implementation Plan Both these LSWMP sections are required by statute. Goal and policy statements are a statutory requirement of Local Surface Water Management Plans. The goals and policies developed for Mounds View will guide how the City approaches surface water management. Given the importance of formulating reasonable goals and policies, we intend to work very closely with staff during this task. Through previous work tasks, we will have provided context for the goals and policies section. This includes providing consistency with the goals and policies of the Rice Creek Watershed District. We propose the goals and policies section be initiated after the tasks identified above are nearly complete. The implementation section describes the necessary measures to address the surface water management issues identified in the assessment section of the LSWMP and the measures to enact the policy statements identified in the goals and policies section. These measures may be policies, ordinance revisions, design standard modifications, maintenance items, or capital improvements. This section will specifically call out surface water system improvement projects and activities to be considered in City budget discussions. The implementation section will also address the financial impact of implementation items and will prioritize these items.
