Stormwater Management Advisory Commission 07/13/2026

The City of Webster Groves Stormwater Management Advisory Commission met on July 13, 2026, to discuss ongoing and planned stormwater projects, prioritization criteria, and funding allocations. The commission reviewed a list of stormwater projects, focusing on those with higher cost-benefit ratios and lower easement requirements, and discussed the process for selecting engineering firms under state statute without an RFP. Updates were provided on specific projects such as Ununice DC70, Southwest Park, and Glendale Brookdale, including their funding status and design phases. The commission also deliberated on strategies for public outreach to increase community awareness and complaint reporting, as well as the potential formation of a subcommittee to refine project prioritization. Budget discussions highlighted approximately one million dollars available for projects, with funds rolling over annually. Additionally, the commission reviewed the existing stormwater development ordinance and its compliance with FEMA requirements. No formal votes or contract awards were recorded during this meeting, but action items included further analysis of project rankings, public communication efforts, and mission statement revisions.
