This includes education and outreach to build awareness of <br /> the impacts of stormwater runoff and activities that encourage behavioral change. The city satisfies this <br /> requirement through the promotion and operation of a variety of programs including natural yard care,rain <br /> gardens,green stormwater infrastructure and pet waste management. <br /> Since 2011, Snohomish County(through its WSU extension office)and the Snohomish Conservation District <br /> have assisted with the city's natural yard care,rain gardens and green stormwater infrastructure programs <br /> through an Inter-local Agreement(ILA). Both have extensive experience in the stormwater arena and operate <br /> successful stormwater programs. This has allowed us to administer our programs with minimal staffing by <br /> leveraging their staff,resources and expertise. <br /> This new agreement replaces the previous ILA,which required annual renewals via the amendment process. <br /> It updates the agreed upon activities and extends the timeframe to five years to correspond with the current <br /> NPDES permit(2019-2024). This includes an annual review to ensure activities effectively meet NPDES <br /> requirements. The above budget is for 2019. The budget for future years will approximate 2019's budget. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: <br /> Authorize Mayor to sign the Inter-local Agreement with Snohomish County and Snohomish Conservation <br /> District to provide support of the National Pollution Elimination System(NPDES) Permit Requirements. <br /> 91 <br />
