Sanford council approves volunteer storm-drain stenciling program at no cost to village
Summary
The council voted Aug. 12 to authorize a volunteer-led storm-drain stenciling program after a presentation by special guest Jennifer Dubey; the program will mark drains that discharge to the river and place educational signs, pending approval of the stencil template and at no cost to the village.
Jennifer Dubey, a special-guest presenter, asked the Village of Sanford council on Aug. 12 to permit a volunteer storm-drain stenciling program intended to show which drains flow directly to the river and to place signs near drains to educate the public.
Councilor Leah Ziems moved to accept the storm-drain stenciling program subject to approval of the stencil template and with no cost to the village. Don Whaley seconded the motion, and the council voted unanimously in favor.
The presentation described the program’s two goals: identifying drains that connect directly to the river and increasing public awareness by marking drains with signs noting where they lead. The council did not authorize any village spending for the work; volunteers will proceed once the template is approved.
The council’s action means the program can proceed administratively, with the template review and any coordination handled outside the formal council budget process. The council did not set a timeline for stencil application in the meeting.
