“I have another question for you. You have brought up the stormwater fee, and I know you mentioned like it would be absurd to raise it to like $100, but was there ever consideration to like adjust the stormwater policy, the stormwater fee policy at all, like maybe based on impervious surfaces?”

“For non-residential is based on the equivalent of the impervious divided by the are you which is like a thousand Yeah, I mean that I was thinking about is Like for condo buildings, they're paying like significantly more Because they have so many more units like each individual property But they're they have less impervious surface proportionally and i wonder if that is something that we could dig into like if there's a way to adjust the policy i don't know if that sounds crazy it i mean it depends on the on the um”

“Yeah, I have two quick ones based on some budget recommendations that we're going to be proposing. I just want to confirm. So a conceptual ERP was brought to a permitting agency, and it was determined that They'd no longer do them or this project was not?”

“Okay, great. And then one on the stormwater design standards manual and design standards updates. I just wanted to confirm, is there a plan to have a completed manual for the city of Miami? a stormwater design standards manual. It was recommended in one of the immediate action items.”

“Yeah, I was a little bit confused on the response for the design standards manual because I'm not quite sure that that exactly is what is... I think there's a miscommunication on what a stormwater design standards manual is and then a drainage standards for the city. Because when I went to Publix Works, I don't know, Miriam, did you send the document that I had sent after our workshop to the chair? Yes. Okay. So there's a drainage standards document that the city has, but it's not the same as like a design standards manual, which is more holistic. And I'm not 100% sure if... Clara's still…”

“maybe more, maybe, maybe, yeah, I didn't realize, thank you, make it more clear, I just, because I could see her from here, so I was like, no, I, I, thank you so much, I only, I started paying attention when you said drainage, thank you so much, yeah, so I reached out to Public Works and asked for the design standards manual, and they sent me a drainage standards document that had, like, 10 to 20 different like standard drainage and piping types that was like standardized across the city. But I didn't know if there was like a holistic stormwater design standards manual that kind of came out…”

“Okay, yeah. Okay. Okay. So then I would agree that we can probably remove items one and two. Thank you so much.”

“So item three is to incorporate the NOAA Atlas 15 when it is available into projects that continue from the stormwater design standards master plan. And then I believe also any additional capital CIP projects in the future.”

“Yeah. And I think like we talked about a lot today, it's important to ensure that anything that we're spending money on, we're doing it right the first time. Okay.”

“I just wanted to say that I'm not going to second because we do have policies in place for how to deal with this and it's frustrating to try to meet those deadlines and then have others not and then them just get to provide their input anyway. So that's why I'm not voting in favor.”

“I was going to go to item seven. We didn't talk about it. Okay. Go ahead. So I just want to make sure that if we spend money on something like this, that the city is also not going to be simultaneously spending money on the consultants as well. Like they already do it that way. Are they going to do it the same way they always do it? And then we're also adding this additional like budget item or like is it redundant, I guess? Or are we suggesting that they get rid of the historical way of doing the cost estimating and that they only implement this? And it saves a lot of money because they no…”
