TO:Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission 
FROM:Commissioner Mark Samuelian 
DATE:January  15, 2020
 



SUBJECT:REFERRAL TO THE LAND USE AND SUSTAINABILITY COMMITTEE TO DISCUSS THE NOVEMBER 26, 2019 SUSTAINABILITY COMMITTEE MOTION CONCERNING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE WEST AVENUE RENOVATION PROJECT.

ANALYSIS

The Sustainability Committee met on November 26, 2019 and passed the motion below:

 

Motion requesting the city administration consider the following recommendations
within the West Avenue Renovation Project:

 

1) Have Jacobs Engineering or another 3rd party engineering firm that offers a water quality/ environmental specialization review existing pump station designs (6th, 10th, 14th street and Dade Blvd), and newly proposed pump station designs (Lincoln Road pump) to provide validation, feedback and/or suggested improvements on the pollution control designs.

 

2) Have staff document in a memo what specific features or components from the Urban Land Institute Stormwater Management Review, Jacobs Engineering Blue Green Infrastructure report, Blueways Master Plan or other such approved plans have been incorporated in each stormwater project.

 

3) Direct Public Works and Ric-man Engineering Firm to use the West Avenue Renovation Project as a model to design and build in "Storm Drain Pollution Prevention Technologies" such as storm drain filters or gratings that keep trash and debris out of the stormwater system. Designing this into the system now eliminates the need for retrofits at a future time.
