Title
Authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to enter into an inter-governmental agreement with Dane County for continuation of an ongoing Information and Education Program as part of the Madison Area Municipal Stormwater Permit group (MAMSWaP).
Body
WHEREAS, the City has previously entered into a joint municipal agreement with Dane County to meet the requirements of its Wisconsin Pollution Discharge and Elimination System (WPDES) Stormwater discharge permit for Information and Education (I&E), as part of a group now addressed as the Madison Area Municipal Storm Water Partnership (MAMSWaP); and
WHEREAS, the County is willing and able to maintain a half-time position (1,040 hours annually), to provide information, education, and outreach services in furtherance of the stormwater management programs conducted under the WPDES permit;
WHEREAS, the City, WDNR and the other members of the MAMSWaP group have agreed to update the agreement and believe that sharing the cost of I&E is more efficient than each municipality completing the work independently; and
WHEREAS, the I&E work completed by the members of MAMSWaP has been well received by the WDNR; and
WHEREAS, the existing agreement expires on December 31, 2013; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Mayor and City Clerk are authorized to enter into an Intergovernmental Agreement with Dane County to provide I&E services as part of the City's WPDES stormwater discharge permit.
