Council Minutes of 5/4/20(14 • Ordinance 2003-86, introduced by Mayor Musial and Councilman Gazeau. An ordinance amending Sections 927.04, 927.05, 927.06, 927.07 and 92'1.08 of the Streets, Utilities and Public Services Code being various sections of Chapter 927 entitled "Storm Water Management and Urban Sediment Pollution Abatement Systems" so as to follow the rules and regulations promulgated by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as amended. The sections that were amended were Chapter 927.04, pazagraph c, subsection 10; 927.05, pazagraph c, subsection 2; 927.05, pazagaph c, subsection 5; 927.05, pazagraph c, subsection 6 and subsection c; 927.05, paragraph c, subsection 12; 927.06, pazagraph k; 927.07. Section 927.07, paragraph d was rejected due to the fact that the water would be retained in pazking lots. Also rejected was 927.08, pazagraph c, which would cause the Engineering Dept. to inspect storm water systems each yeaz and the city does not have the manpower for this operation and it should not accept the legal responsibility. This all has to do with the sediment from runoff water. City Engineer Durbin suggested that the information in Section 927.06, subpazagraph c be lined in a column to give a better appeazance and easier reading. The committee concurred and recommended passage of Ordinance 2003-86 with the elimination of dischazge roof water to vegetated azeas or grass in rock-lined drainage channels. (No disconnection of downspouts.) The Law Dept. will make the proposed changes. • Ordinance 2003-128, an ordinance amending Sections 1353.11 and 1353.12 of Chapter 1353 of the Building Code entitled "Grading and Surface Water Drainage" in order to better regulate grade changes on private property which adversely affect adjoining property owners and declaring an emergency. This ordinance will require a drainage plan be submitted when major changes aze being made to the landscaping plan so the Engineering Dept. can inspect to insure the correct drainage is not interfering with the neighbors. Also, the Law Dept. will review Chapter 1353 of the Building Code to determine if the grading of surface water drainage is best served under the Chapter 1353 or under the Title 9 Utilities Code per the Building Commissioner. The committee recommended approval. Councilman Nashar, chairperson of the Streets & Transportation Committee: 1) The committee met this evening, May 4. Present were committee members Dailey, McKay, Nashar; Councilmen Limpert, Miller; Safety Director Jesse, Personnel Director Fazver, Law Director Dubelko, and a guest. The following item was discussed: • Ordinance 2004-41, which was introduced by Councilman Miller. An ordinance creating a new Section 141.09 of the Administrative Code entitled "Administrative Motor Vehicle Pool" in order to establish a motor vehicle pool for the purpose of providing motor vehicles for the use by the Mayor and the city directors when conducting official city business. Last month the Mayor did present a plan for the use of city vehicles, but this plan has already been in effect. Consequently, there aze no changes made for recommendations to this ordinance. This ordinance will create a motor pool, and city vehicles will be available to the Mayor and city directors on an as-needed basis to conduct city business. After a lengthy discussion, the committee voted two to one, with Mr. McKay dissenting, to recommend approval of the legislation.
