On February 11, 2008 the City Council adopted Resolution 7223 creating the Streets and Utilities Committee. On July 15, 2008 the Streets and Utilities Committee held a Public Meeting to review the Stormwater Infiltration Program to be incorporated as part of the overall Street and Utility Improvement Program.

On August 25, 2008 the City Council adopted Resolution 7328 establishing the appeal parameters for the Stormwater Infiltration Program. Discussion: Appeal Process and Notifications When the Stormwater Infiltration Program (SIP) was established, both the Streets and Utilities Committee and the City Council felt that a method should be developed for property owners to appeal the location of a specific infiltration feature proposed under the program. Parameters for the appeal were developed, and the formal appeal process was established by the City Council under Resolution 7328, adopted on August 25, 2008. A copy of Resolution 7328 is included with this Staff Report for reference. The appeal process stated, among other things, that the appeals must be submitted in writing, must be based upon a specific condition, and must include a supporting argument. It further stated that all submitted appeals would be considered and acted upon by the City Council, and that the decision of the Council would be final.
