SWM-CS 990420AIL North Central Texas Council Of Governments FROM. Samuel W. Brush DATE: April 20, 1999 Manager of Environmental Systems TO: FY99 Regional Storm Water Management Participants SUBJECT: FY2000 Budget and Cost Shares for Regional Storm Water Program As requested per the current program work scope, the NCTCOG staff has been looking at the funding for the FY2000 program so that municipalities and other cost share partners can include storm water program funds as part of their budget planning process which are getting underway. At this time when local government budget discussions for FY2000 are getting underway, the NCTCOG staff is recommending that participants plan for a funding commitment similar to the FY99 program. The NCTCOG staff is beginning development of program work scope that will not exceed the FY99 costs. The more detailed work scope will depend heavily on elements that develop over the next several months as part of the current regional strategy development. General activities will include continuation of some initiatives and initiation of some possible new endeavors under the regional strategy. Phase I entities will continue to fund the storm water monitoring efforts as separate elements, and use projections from the current year. Plans to handle some of the lab analysis through a local laboratory will affect the ultimate FY2000 costs for Phase I entities, but the level should not exceed the FY99 targets. The FY99 program has had good overall participation, but not full participation by Phase II entities. The NCTCOG staff anticipates that some additional cities and counties may have an interest in joining the FY2000 program as the regulations come out and permit requirements become clearer. The staff is currently examining the cost share arrangements to determine whether broader participation in the program could be encouraged through some modifications to the suggested funding levels. Please plan for the FY2000 program by using the current level of cost shares. A table of the cost -share arrangement is attached for your reference. The staff will be returning to the Regional Storm Water Management Coordinating Council in the coming months with additional detail on the work scope and any recommendations regarding cost shares. The staff looks forward to working with each of you through the Council in developing the work scope for FY2000 and outlining the products and assistance that NCTCOG staff will furnish for this important program. 616 Six Flags Drive, Centerpoint Two P.
