Title
Discussion of an intergovernmental agreement with the Stormwater Management Commission relating to the fee-in-lieu program as an alternative to on-site stormwater storage regulations.
Staff Summary
• The Planning, Building & Development Department (PB&D) and the Stormwater Management Commission (SMC) have developed an intergovernmental agreement that allows unincorporated development a fee-in-lieu option as an alternative to on-site stormwater management, when eligible.
• The fee-in-lieu program would be administered by the SMC in tandem with the department’s development review/permit process.
• Associated costs and fees would be assumed by the SMC.
• Following Committee discussion and subsequent Committee action, the intergovernmental agreement will proceed to the Finance & Administrative Committee for review and action prior to County Board approval.
