Summary

Council adopted the 2025 Stormwater Master Plan and related comprehensive-plan amendments, which update design storms, prioritize capital and maintenance projects, and estimate approximately $80 million in needs over 20 years; staff plans additional work on rate impacts and monitoring of climate-driven storm patterns.

Staff presented the 2025 Stormwater Master Plan update, describing a multi-year program of capital improvements, a major-maintenance program, water-quality retrofits near drinking-water sources, and replacement of failing underground injection control systems. The plan incorporates climate-change analysis and calls for additional rain-gauge/AGRIMET stations to gather local data so design storms can be updated from earlier (1970s-era) baselines.

Staff said the 20-year estimated investment is approximately $80 million; projects will be prioritized based on funding availability and service-level targets. Council adopted the related resolution and, on second reading, approved ordinance amendments to incorporate the public-facilities plan into the comprehensive plan. Staff will return with more detailed rate planning and a May 2026 work session update on the collection-system master plan and related financial impacts.
