WHEREAS, federal legislative and regulatory initiatives impose significant
controls and requirements upon Texas municipalities in regulating the nature,
diversion and control of storm water drainage; and
WHEREAS, the burden upon a municipality in monitoring and complying with
such legislative and regulatory requirements is often substantially impacted
by the development and regulatory controls imposed by upstream
municipalities; and
WHEREAS, there exists, under current Texas law, no uniform regulation or a
requirement that a municipality implement and coordinate such storm water
drainage and discharge and its impact on downstream municipalities, which
lack of uniform requirements and failure of coordination, often creates and
imposes substantial engineering, regulatory and monetary impact upon such
downstream municipalities; and
WHEREAS, legislation establishing uniform requirements and requiring
coordination of effort in complying with such federally mandated regulations
would be of substantial benefit to all Texas municipalities.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF EULESS, TEXAS;
SECTION 1
That the City of Euless, Texas, supports the enactment of legislation which
would encourage, promote, and establish certain regulatory requirements for
the downstream discharge of surface water runoff and coordination of same
with downstream municipalities in future development of real property
improvements which would create additional downstream surface water
drainage that would substantially impact downstream municipalities in their
performance and compliance with federally mandated regulations.
ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the Euless City Council on the 12th
day of October, 1999, by a vote of 7 ayes, 0 nays, and 0 abstentions.
