Ordinance 9284 frames commission duties, members told
Summary
Commissioners referenced Ordinance 9284 as the legal basis for duties including advising council, monitoring projects, recommending metrics, and an annual report; members discussed whether the ordinance language should drive the mission statement wording.
Commissioners reviewed the ordinance language that established the body and described its responsibilities. One committee member read Ordinance 9284 aloud as the anchor text for the commission: "The purpose of this commission is to provide expert advice and recommendations to the city of Webster Groves on matters related to stormwater management, aiming to enhance community resilience, respect for protection of the natural environment, protection of infrastructure, and public safety."
Members noted the ordinance also tasks the commission with advising on metrics, serving as a liaison to the community, monitoring and evaluating projects, and producing an annual report to city council. Several commissioners said the ordinance's scope is consistent with the draft mission but recommended distilling the language for public-facing messaging.
