CITY OF ST. ANTHONY VILLAGE WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT PLAN SECTION 6 Page 1 6. IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM 6.1. Implementation Program Components Table 6.1 contains a comprehensive list of the MS4 activities and projects, programs, and studies that make up the City of St Anthony Village’s implementation program for the next ten years (2018 through 2027). The City developed this program by evaluating the requirements in the MS4 permit (see MS4 SWPPP Application for Reauthorization in Appendix F), reviewing existing information (Section 2), identifying potential and existing problems (Section 4), developing goals and policies (Section 5), and then assessing the need for programs, studies, or projects. The City estimated total costs, identified possible funding sources, and developed an approximate schedule to complete the implementation activities. It is anticipated these tables will be updated/revised on a yearly basis. Watershed districts may offer various cost-sharing programs with the City to provide funding for stormwater management projects. 6.2. Implementation Priorities The implementation components listed in Table 6.1 were prioritized to make the best use of available local funding, meet MS4 Permit requirements, address existing water management problems, and prevent future water management problems from occurring. The City's implementation plan reflects its responsibility to protect the public health, safety, and general welfare of its citizens by addressing problems and issues that are specific to the City of St Anthony Village. 6.3. Financial Considerations The City plans to use funds generated from its Stormwater Utility as the primary funding mechanism for its implementation program. If funds from this utility fee do not cover costs, the City will consider adjusting the Stormwater Utility Fee as well as using general funds to cover the costs associated with the implementation program. Although not proposed at this time, the City may consider using plan implementation taxes (MN Statutes 103B.241) in the future if general funds or stormwater utility funds are not sufficient to fund the projects. The City will also take advantage of grant or loan programs to offset project costs where appropriate and cost-effective. 6.4. Plan Revision and Amendments The City may need to revise this Plan to keep it current. The City may amend this plan at any time in response to a petition by a resident or business. Written petitions for plan amendments must be submitted to the City Administrator. The petition must state the reason for the requested amendment, and provide supporting information for the City to consider the request. The City may reject the petition, delay action on the petition until the next full plan revision, or accept the petition as an urgent issue that requires immediate amendment of the plan. The City of St Anthony Village may also revise/amend the plan in response to City-identified needs. This Plan is intended to be in effect for ten years. The Plan will be revised/updated at that time, to the extent necessary.
