Jacobson noted as part of the 2021 Public Works department re-organization that created the Utility Superintendent position certain tasks were re-delegated to balance workloads which included some of the stormwater tasks to our consultant. As part of this contract there are services we need to rely on the consultants but we are also going to implement more efficient documentation and inspection of City owned storm water management facilities. As the City grows, regulatory reporting requirements increase, storm water utility management maintenance projects needs increase a position will be justified and proposed as needed in the future. 7.
