| 1 | H. | Stormwater - Revised CMC Chapter 14.02 | Informational Report | Revised Camas Municipal Code (CMC) Chapter 14.02 Stormwater Control
Details: The City's current National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Stormwater Permit issued by the Department of Ecology requires the City to adopt the latest Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington (SWMMWW) by December 31, 2016, and to review, and revise if necessary, the City's local stormwater codes to incorporate Low Impact Development (LID) principles for new development. Chapter 14.02, Stormwater Control, is the section of the CMC, which outlines the City's stormwater program, adopts the applicable stormwater management manual, and otherwise provides standards for management of stormwater throughout the City. The SWMMWW is the guidance document used for specifically managing stormwater on development and redevelopment projects. Chapter 14.02 currently has conflicting language referencing different versions of the SWMMWW and contains duplicative information that is contained in both the SWMMWW and the current version of Chapter 14.02.

| 1 | I. | 2017 CDBG Application | Informational Report | 2017 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Application
Details: CDBG Grant applications are due December 1, 2016. Staff proposes submitting an application for the 2017 funding round. The proposed project will make improvements to NE Dallas Street between 17th Avenue and 21st Avenue. These improvements consist of rehabilitation of the roadway, installation of sidewalk, and replacement of sewer and water mains and services.

Staff recommends requesting the maximum grant amount of $300,000, which is the cost of the street rehabilitation and sidewalk. The remaining expense, about $375,000, is currently proposed to be funded by the Water/Sewer Utility Fund; however, staff is also reviewing other potential funding options for Council's consideration. CDBG grants require two public meetings prior to application submittal. This meeting qualifies as the first of two meetings. Staff recommends that the second meeting be scheduled as a public hearing on November 21 | | |

| 1 | N. | Code Amendments - Personal Vacations and Leaves of Absences | Informational Report | Code Amendments - Revision of Camas Municipal Code (CMC) Chapter 2.68 Personal Vacations and Leaves of Absences
Details: Staff proposed to delete the entire section and cover it in the bargaining contracts and employee handbook. It is unnecessary to have this in code as the language in the bargaining contracts, if different, would prevail. In addition, staff would like to eliminate the code language about an employee receiving state industrial insurance due to an injury on the job being paid one hundred percent of their salary without the use of any accrued leave. The proposed revision would have the employee using accrued leave benefits and having the opportunity to use the worker's compensation payment to replenish the employees sick or vacation leave balance.
