A motion to defer a key discussion on stormwater management was approved during the Metropolitan Council Committee meeting on April 14, 2025. Council Member Benedict emphasized the importance of understanding how stormwater issues are being integrated into the ongoing housing and infrastructure study.

Benedict expressed hope that the two-week deferral would allow for insights from both the Planning Department and Metro Water Services, which have been actively involved in addressing stormwater challenges, particularly following last year's June flood in Inglewood. "It's a huge problem," he stated, underscoring the need for a thorough examination of the current strategies in place.
