Staff highlights outreach: 3,200 water bottles, training for ~50 employees and neighborhood events
Summary
Stormwater staff said they held an employee training in April (~50 employees), led public education events and distributed program materials including 3,200 water bottles to area schools to promote 'only rain down the drain.'
Staff described public education and community involvement efforts tied to the city's MS4 obligations, including school outreach, cleanup events and staff training. "We did do that employee training in April, had about 50 people," Morgan said. The presenter also highlighted school outreach: "they gave out 3,200 water bottles to area schools with that slogan."
Council members and staff described other outreach tools such as social media posts and small promotional items used to discourage illicit dumping and grease disposal. The presentation noted that the city works with the Green Country Stormwater Alliance for training and outreach and that community cleanup events help meet permit public-involvement requirements.
