The Long Beach Stormwater Board’s quarterly meeting on September 28, 2026, reviewed its fund projection, available capital, and planned stormwater and paving work. The board unanimously voted to recommend that the council increase the stormwater fee from $15 to $20. Projects discussed included Lakeshore Drive paving, Marsh Court work planned for this fall, drainage concerns near Indianapolis Hidden Hill/Stop 16, catch-basin maintenance, and replacement of aging brick dry wells. Some road work may depend on receiving a CCMG grant; the board noted that funding availability could affect the work schedule and scope.

The board reviewed invoices totaling about $5,277 from Truck Centers, Kimball Midwest, Utility Supply, MC Matthews, Rappers, Fisher Auto Parts, Menards, and Vermeer, along with a $29,303.75 invoice from Haas. Staff described allocating stormwater funds to a share of Lakeshore Drive project engineering, which totaled $267,412 for the year; 25% was estimated at $66,853, against $80,000 available in the capital line. A motion was made to approve the listed invoices, but the transcript does not capture the motion’s disposition. The fund projection presented was only through July.
