B. Position Responsibilities 1. Due to the time factor in determining public financial participation, residential requests for assistance on drainage concerns may be taken by phone. The Engineering Division shall, upon receiving a written request for assistance, advise staff of the issue at hand. The Senior Director of Public Works, Director of Engineering, Director of Operations, and Director of Community Relations shall receive copies of the resident's written request. Neighborhood Storm Drainage Project Priority Criteria Priority 1 - Drainage circumstances that result in the direct flooding of homes or create conditions that render these structures virtually uninhabitable.
Examples are surface water entering window wells, basements, or first floor entrances.
Priority 2 - Drainage problems that are basically all of the above conditions that affect accessory buildings, such as garages, rather than the home or primary structures on the property. Priority 5 - Flooding conditions where flooding is limited to private property on a single, developable lot, creating a nuisance as opposed to a threat to structures or the motoring public. Priority 5 conditions shall not be considered for such partnership. A drainage easement shall also be required in order to provide the necessary access to maintain the storm water control structure. Considering the large burden these types of projects can cause on a budget, the following criteria for financial assistance are established to allow for more residents to be assisted with Village funds even while budgets may be reduced.
