Board to review updated stormwater standards in July; ordinance changes to go to commissioners
Summary
Staff told the board revised stormwater standards were circulated last week and that the standards will be presented in July; ordinance changes will require a public hearing and final action by the county commissioners, and staff will advertise a hearing here before forwarding recommendations.
Board staff updated the Boone County Drainage Board on planned revisions to the county's stormwater ordinance and related standards and outlined next steps.
Staff said revised standards and accompanying materials were circulated to the board last week and that one remaining internal item—Appendix B3, a permit-form appendix—was still under review. "I did not get those changes out to you guys to review. So, sent those out to you last week, so take a look at those changes," staff told the board.
Staff said the office intends to bring the standards before the board at the July meeting; if the board is comfortable, it will recommend the changes and the ordinance revisions will then go to the county commissioners for final action. Board members discussed whether the public hearing should be held before this board or before the commissioners; staff said the board typically advertises and holds a public hearing and then forwards recommendations to the commissioners. Staff said they will work with Carol to get the notice out.
No formal vote or ordinance adoption occurred at the meeting; staff characterized the discussion as an update and a plan for outreach and next steps. The board did not set a firm hearing date in the transcript but staff said they intend to present standards in July and will advertise a public hearing prior to sending ordinance changes to the commissioners.
Clarifying details - Appendix B3 refers to the permit form layout that staff are still reviewing. - Staff said there were several steering-committee meetings last year that informed the standards changes; Tim and Dave were cited as participants on the steering committee (no last names provided). - Staff emphasized that ordinance revision requires final approval by the commissioners; the board's role is to recommend changes and to hold initial public hearings if desired.
Next steps Staff will advertise a public hearing (work with Carol on notices) and will present the updated standards to the board in July; ordinance changes will be forwarded to the commissioners for final action. The transcript records the intent and timing but no formal ordinance motion or vote.
