Councilmember Deben stated this provision would be recorded against the land. Councilmember Elvig indicated there is a precedent on this property, as this was done with the neighboring property. It was the recommendation of the Public Works Committee to move this forward. 5) Review RFP for Comprehensive Water Resources Management Plan City Engineer Jankowski explained the Comprehensive Water Resources Management Plan would provide a stormwater plan for the entire City. The plan was last updated in 1997. Significant development has occurred since the plan was first created. Staff anticipates this study will cost upwards of $160,000. It will be funded from the Stonn Water Utility. It is expected that the selection of the consultant and preparation of the plan will take over one year to implement. The Comprehensive Water Resources Management Plan should be completed well in advance of the Comprehensive Plan for the City so that recommendations from the Water Resources Plan can be reflected in the appropriate sections of the Comprehensive Plan. The motion of the Committee was to recommend the RFP for the Comprehensive Water Resources Management Plan be approved by the City Council.
