CITY OF HUGO LOCAL STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN REVIEWED BY THE RCWD Water Resource Engineer Pete Willenbring from WSB Engineers provided an update to the Council on the status of the City's stormwater management plan, which is under review by the RCWD. Since that time, Pete has been in contact with the District's engineers Emmons & Olivier Resources on a few issues they had concern with. Pete presented an update on the completion of the work to date on the project. In the future, the City of Hugo will be the local government unit and permitting agent for storm water and wetland management issues in the City. Pete felt that the City could recoup 100% of costs for new development through developer fees and 50% to 60% of the smaller scale permits. Discussion of this issue will continue at the City Council's budget workshop scheduled for October 28, 2002.
