Speaker 8: Agenda Item 25 Council Bill 118465 relating to the stormwater code.
Speaker 0: Councilmember Bagshaw.
Speaker 6: Thank you. I count submit 118465. And this is the first of two pieces of legislation relating to our stormwater code. I would like to recognize Cheryl Ehlers from here from Seattle Public Utilities, all the good work that you have done. This is an update to our stormwater code that is required by the state's Department of Ecology and the Municipal Stormwater System. One of the first changes in terminology that we will now be using is onsite stormwater management instead of green stormwater infrastructure, both still a mouthful, but the major changes to the stormwater code are best management practices and those that will be required for public and private projects that meet the threshold criteria and include the minimum square footage requirements. And we will focus on appropriate materials and construction strategies. Additionally, the changes include such things as pavement maintenance exemptions and changes to permissible discharges. So we did hold a public hearing on this legislation and it passed unanimously out of our committee and we recommend do pass.
Speaker 0: Thank you. Questions or comments? Please call the role on the passage of the Bill O'Brien.
