RESOLUTION NO. 92- Zg <br />INTRODUCED BY: Mayor Pietrafese and Council as a Whole <br />AN EMERGENCY RESOLUTION <br />URGING CONGRESS TO DELAY THE STORM <br />WATER MANDATES FOR COMMUNITIES WITH <br />POPULATIONS OF LESS THAN ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND <br />WHEREAS, the National League of Cities has been attempting to <br />get Congress to stop or at least reduce the storm water mandates <br />before they go into effect in October of 1992; and <br />WHEREAS, unless Congress acts promptly, our Village may be <br />required to obtain a permit for every outfall conveying rain water <br />run off, and to meet numerical effluent limits, which are <br />impossible even for our nation's larger cities; and <br />WHEREAS, given the projected costs of the storm water <br />management program to our nation's cities and towns, and <br />particularly to the Village of Mayfield, it is Council's belief <br />that significant changes must be made in order to avoid bankrupting <br />our municipality; and <br />WHEREAS, the limits currently proposed for storm water <br />management are unrealistic, and outrageously costly in terms of the <br />benefits derived from implementation of such requirements. <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF MAYFIELD <br />VILLAGE, OHIO, THAT: <br />SECTION 1.
