Government At Work

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27 –

7:30 a.m. – McHenry County Stormwater Commission –

Meeting in the County Board Conference Room, County Administration Building, 667 Ware Road, Woodstock.

The Commission is to consider Crystal Lake Watershed Ordinance Amendments. The matter has been before the Commission previously. At a prior meeting of the Commission, discussion was held regarding the adoption of the Crystal Lake Watershed Ordinance requirements for areas of the County within the Crystal Lake Watershed. The adoption of the full Crystal Lake Watershed Ordinance could require a substantial amount of time, plus from a State’s Attorney’s recent opinion, portions of the CLWO cannot be adopted due to the lack of the County authority.

As a result, portions of the Crystal Lake Watershed Ordinance could require rewriting for the County ordinance.

Funding for a comprehensive review and revision of the Stormwater Management Ordinance did not garner a desired grant from the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning. Also, regarding County funding, it is felt that this project should not compete with operating dollars within the County’s FY 2013 Annual budget. A recommendation is made to fund the project out of the General Fund operating reserves once the FY 2012 is closed and the performance outcome is known. A request will be made as part of the FY 2013 budget discussions.
