Analysis
Identifying and addressing drainage issues have been high priorities for the City. In order to do so and to have a consistent approach, the City Council awarded a consultant contract to Halff Associates to develop the "City-Wide Drainage Master Plan Road Map" that was completed and adopted by the City Council in August 2010.

The study is in compliance with the requirements set forth in the “City-Wide Drainage Master Plan Roadmap.”
