Title
A resolution authorizing the City Manager to finalize and execute an Interlocal Agreement with North Central Texas Council of Governments for the period from October 1, 2017, to September 30, 2022, thereby authorizing the City’s participation in the Regional Storm Water Management Program.
Body
The City was issued a Storm Water Permit by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) effective October 18, 2011. The permit is the third five-year term storm water permit the City has received. The City is nearing completion of the storm water permit renewal process for a fourth five-year permit with the TCEQ.
The permit requires an extensive Storm Water Management Program. One facet of this program is wet weather sampling of storm water runoff. As part of the permit, the City committed to continued participation in the Regional Urban Storm Water Monitoring Program administered by the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG). The TCEQ has recognized the City’s participation in this regional program and has agreed that this regional program complies with the wet weather sampling requirements stipulated in the permit. The Regional Storm Water Program addresses region-wide watershed and community level issues that are required by state and federal legislation.
Financial Implications
The proposed resolution authorizes the City of Mesquite’s participation in the Regional Storm Water Management Program with NCTCOG for the period from October 1, 2017, to September 30, 2022. The City’s funding share for this program in FY2017-18 will not exceed $6,773.00. Funding for this program is allocated in the FY 2017-18 Drainage Utility District budget.
