Related Recommendations (1)
directing staff to provide a concise summary of their Annual Reports, citing their accomplishments, challenges, costs, and funds needed to fully comply with the Permit, by December 31, 2019. Response: This recommendation will not be implemented because it is not warranted or reasonable. As noted in F9, equivalent information is available in other city documents. Furthermore, the State Water Board establishes and prescribes the format and information in the Annual Report, and cities are required to use the format. The Board of Supervisors and all City/Town Councils should consider
Both the CCCWP and LAFCO report that unfunded federal and state mandated stormwater permit compliance programs area a challenge for cities, towns, and the County. Response: Agree. Furthermore, permit requirements are once again expected to expand with the upcoming Permit 3.0, which would be effective January 1, 2021, and will put additional demands on limited city resources.

No recommendations for this finding
No narrative summary of the accomplishments, challenges, costs, and funds needed to fully comply with the Permit is provided in the required annual reports prepared by CCCWP, the County, and each city and town. Response: Partially Disagree. The form of the annual report is approved by the State Water Board and does not have said summary sections and therefore are not required. Equivalent information is available through other city documents, such as the annual budget and the staff report for setting the annual stormwater utility assessment fee. These documents are processed through City Council meetings, open to the public.
