Council staff still drafting aquifer‑protection citation and fine ordinance, agency told
Summary
Agency staff reported the city ordinance committee is still preparing draft language for an aquifer‑protection citation and fine ordinance and said staff will share the draft with agency members as soon as it is available.
Agency staff told members the ordinance committee of the common council is preparing draft language for an aquifer‑protection citation and fine ordinance but has delayed completion because its staff attorney is occupied with zoning litigation. Staff member Alexis reported she had met with the ordinance committee staff and was told draft language would be available soon.
Why it matters: A citation and fine ordinance would clarify local penalties and administrative tools for aquifer protection violations, giving the agency clearer civil tools to address noncompliance.
Agency member Darius Williams asked that staff circulate the draft as soon as it is available rather than waiting until the day before the next meeting; Alexis agreed to share the draft when she receives it.
Next steps: Staff will forward the ordinance draft to agency members for review when the ordinance committee provides it.
