The City's Water Resource Work Group was established by Council Resolution 08-1400, December 23, 2008.  The primary function of the Water Resource Work Group is:

-To establish an internal training and communication framework for water resource protection;

-To coordinate revisions to the City’s Storm Water Permit (NPDES MS4 Stormwater Management Program) and amendments to City ordinances; and,

-To develop a strategy to successfully compete for State’s Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment dollars

Establishing water resource policy, water resource /stormwater project review and authorization, and other approvals on water resource initiatives are handled through normal city channels.

The Work Group consists of an inter-departmental staff roster representing key departments which have water resource considerations.
