<br /> <br />. <br />, <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Executive Summary <br /> <br />4. Leave local services and funding for those services at the local level where they are most <br />efficient and responsive to the cornmunity. LocaJ services include such activities as catch <br />basin and inlet cleaning, repair oflocal storm sewers and channels, review and approval of <br />subdivision drainage plans, and construction oflocal projects. <br /> <br />5. Use the Grand Junction Drainage District as the "operating arm" of a Drainage Authority. <br />This will maintain the operational expertise that already exists, minimize the extent of new <br />administrative staff, and prevent creation of a huge new bureaucracy. <br /> <br />6. Valley-wide stormwater management should include close coordination with the irrigation <br />companies. <br /> <br />7. Engage federal agencies to address issues with federal land upstream of the Valley. <br /> <br />POSSIBLE IMPLEMENTATION EXAMPLE <br /> <br />Table ES-l presents a Phase I budget for an example stormwater program. The budget was <br />prepared by project staff and consultants. The Steering Committee did not make a <br />recommendation on expenditure or funding levels. <br /> <br />The example is presented to inform elected officials and others of the approximate magnitude of <br />the needs. The actual needs will not be known until the drainage basin planning studies are <br />complete. The program below would cost the property owners in the Valley approximately <br />$2.75 per month for the average household. <br /> <br />Phase 2 of the program would begin when the results of the drainage basin planning studies for <br />the primary urbanized basins and the basins that are under the greatest development pressure are <br />known, and when elected officials provide direction to the stormwater program based on these <br />results. <br /> <br />Actual priorities would be established by elected officials and the board of the drainage <br />authority. <br /> <br />URS <br /> <br />T:\PROJECTS\22236022_GRAND_ VALLEY\SUB_00\6.0_PROJ_DELIV\FINAL REPORl\FrNAL REPT REV 4.DOC\9.JUl.o3\\ ES-6 <br />
