The Annexation Program includes a wide range of participants and can be initiated by property owners or the City. The City prioritizes annexations based on several  factors and determines when annexation discussions with property owners will begin; annexation efforts may take up to several years of planning and discussions with property owners. The Planning Department seeks to continue its dialogue with the Council about the policies in place used to implement the program. Discussion focused on equity, costs and benefits, the process, and ways to continue the discussion about the program. C. Proposed Changes to the Private Best Management Practices (BMP) Ordinance by Lance Weatherly, Principal Engineer Presentation: Approximately 15 minutes followed by discussion. The proposed ordinance is a continuation of the City's storm water management efforts. BMPs as discussed in this context include engineered storm water devices which treat and store storm water before it is released. The ordinance is being proposed as a result of statutory requirements and because there currently exists no ordinance requiring operation and maintenance of Private BMPs. Development of the proposed ordinance included outreach to multiple stakeholders and includes construction, operation, and maintenance requirements. The proposed ordinance will also include provisions which address accessibility and notice for inspections as well as enforcement procedures. Penalties and staffing requirements for enforcement were discussed as well as the frequency of inspections. 5. Adjournment Council Vice Chair Rick Kiley adjourned the meeting at 5:24 p.m. Thomas M.
