Storm Committee members present: Brad Richardson, Sherry Rydberg, Barry Palmer, Theresa Hawkins and Ron Rothmeyer Also present: City Clerk Doreen Mowery 1. The Storm Water Committee had requested a workshop to update the council and the planning board on the status of Storm Water issues in Carter Lake. A copy of the current NPDES permit for the City of Carter Lake was distributed and reviewed. This permit sets out the rules and regulations for holding a permit in Iowa. There are numerous items that the City must attend to in order to be in compliance with the permit and to avoid future fines and penalties. A publication entitled Managing Storm Water in Iowa Communities Implementing New Requirements was distributed. The Storm Water Committee reviewed the publication with those in attendance at this meeting. In June, 2012 the EPA conducted an on-site inspection and review of the NPDES permit and storm sewer program and system in Carter Lake. A copy of the letter generated by the EPA, after their review, was distributed to the members present at this meeting. The EPA audit provided recommendations for improving the Carter Lake MS4 program. The City must implement its program in full compliance with the terms of the permit, the requirements of the CWA, and EPA s implementing regulations. The Storm Water Committee needs more members on the committee. The permit requires better enforcement by the building inspector and there needs to be additional support from the council and planning board. Funds will be necessary for both on-going and future compliance with the NPDES permit. The Storm Water committee will be reviewing our rules and will be adding new rules as well as monitoring the existing rules. The committee requested planning board and city council liaisons on the storm committee. They would also like a couple of community volunteers. Council members Aldmeyer and Hawkins offered to serve as council liaisons. Planning Board members Wahl and Palandri offered to serve as planning board member liaisons. In the future all regular city council and planning board meetings will have a Storm Water Committee update on the agenda and the liaisons will report to their boards. The building inspector will be making changes to certain forms and permits to include storm water compliance. This joint workshop was adjourned at 8:53 PM.

Consent agenda Moved by council member Huey seconded by council member Parker to approve the consent agenda as presented. Ayes: IV. New Business A. Communications from the Public 1. M. H. Weinberg was present representing the union that represents the police department. He suggested that the council consider adding a notice provision to the contract that states if a notice is given it should be sent to both the employee and the union. It is his opinion that this would allow both parties to have a complete understanding of what is occurring and it would provide consistent treatment. Mr. Weinberg also addressed the fact that if there is a need for discipline that the contract calls for progressive discipline. In his opinion, progressive discipline provides more consistent treatment when disciplining a union member. He thinks the council should encourage progressive discipline as a way to discourage arbitration or mediation. B. Communications from the Departments 1. Eric Bentzinger updated the council on Fire Department business. Last month the department had a total of 28 calls and they are currently at 20 calls for this month. Eric also extended a special thank you to all of the Veterans who have served. He also requested that people give the volunteer fire personnel an extra thank you for their efforts. They have been putting in a lot of extra hours and energy lately. He reminded everyone to check the batteries in smoke and carbon dioxide detectors. He also suggested that everyone inspect and clean their furnaces and fireplaces.

34 CHAPTER 175 STREET USE AND MAINTENANCE merchandise of any kind upon any street or alley for the purpose of storage, exhibition, sale or offering same for sale, without permission of the Police Chief WASHING VEHICLES. It is unlawful for any person to use any public sidewalk, street or alley for the purpose of washing or cleaning any automobile, truck equipment, or any vehicle of any kind when such work is done for hire or as a business. This does not prevent any person from washing or cleaning his or her own vehicle or equipment when it is lawfully parked in the street or alley BURNING PROHIBITED. No person shall burn any trash, leaves, rubbish or other combustible material in any curb and gutter or on any paved or surfaced street or alley EXCAVATIONS. No person shall dig, excavate or in any manner disturb any street, parking or alley except in accordance with the following: 1. Permit Required. No excavation shall be commenced without first obtaining a permit therefor. A written application for such permit shall be filed with the City and shall contain the following: A. An exact description of the property, by lot and street number, in front of or along which it is desired to excavate; B. A statement of the purpose, for whom and by whom the excavation is to be made; C. The person responsible for the refilling of said excavation and restoration of the street or alley surface; and D. Date of commencement of the work and estimated completion date. Work shall be started within one week after the date of issuance of the permit. E. Each application shall contain an agreement signed by the applicant, in which the applicant agrees to perform all work in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with the rules and specifications established by the City Maintenance Department and on file in the office of the Clerk. If an emergency arises in which it becomes necessary to make an immediate excavation in order that the public safety be preserved, then, in that event, it shall not be necessary to secure a permit prior to making the excavation; provided, however, the permit shall be secured immediately upon termination of the emergency. 2. Public Convenience. Streets and alleys shall be opened in the manner which will cause the least inconvenience to the public and admit the uninterrupted passage of water along the gutter on the street. On main thoroughfares there shall at all times be sufficient traffic lanes open to permit a substantially normal traffic flow. Unless this can be accomplished, the work shall be performed only between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. or CODE OF ORDINANCES, CARTER LAKE, IOWA
