Stormwater Management Advisory Commission 11/09/2026

The City of Webster Groves Stormwater Management Advisory Commission met on November 9, 2026. Discussion focused on public education and future work planning, including website and social-media content, educational events, possible rain-garden tours, and ways to explain stormwater responsibilities and reporting resources. Members discussed preparing an annual work plan and budget request early next year; no budget allocation or spending decision was made. The meeting noted that other commissions received roughly $1,200 last year, while one commission requested $1,980, but these figures were not an allocation to this commission. The commission also discussed forming small, informal groups to organize resources and education ideas, and requested that future agendas include subcommittee reports.

The project update covered the 755 Avenue project, which is progressing while staff checks whether its scope matches an MSD grant; the Brookdale-Glendale project, whose scope and effectiveness remain under review before a consultant is selected; and Southwest Park, where a survey and preliminary layout are complete and stormwater work may be coordinated with a trail project to address potential impervious-surface requirements efficiently. Members asked for a future briefing on project selection, timing, and the process for choosing consultants and construction projects for MSD funding. No contract award, consultant selection, or project expenditure was approved at this meeting.
