On August 4, 2008 the City Council discussed the recommendations of the Committee at their Work Session. Committee members were present at this meeting to participate in the discussion with the Council. On August 11, 2008 the City Council adopted Resolution 7319 establishing the basic components of the SIP. On August 18, 2008 the Committee continued discussion on the SIP, specifically the appeal process. Discussion: Streets and Utilities Committee members presented the SIP staff report at the August 4, 2008 City Council Work Session. This report included a summary of the two motions passed by the Committee at the July 21, 2008 Committee Meeting. The second of these two motions was passed to make the installation of infiltration swales mandatory in all designated locations, with the provision that individual property owners have the right to appeal the proposed location of an infiltration swale adjacent to their property to the City Council for removal from the SIP. During discussion at the City Council Work Session on the 4th, there seemed to be agreement among the Council that there should be a process for property owners to appeal for removal of a specific infiltration swale from the SIP.
