# Stormwater Management Advisory Commission 10/12/2026

The City of Webster Groves Stormwater Management Advisory Commission met on October 12, 2026. The commission reviewed stormwater flooding heat maps and discussed obtaining the underlying GIS files and consultant notes to better evaluate and prioritize projects. Staff described a submitted PROTECT grant application covering 14 eligible projects with an estimated total value of about $7 million and an average portfolio benefit-cost ratio of 1.25. The program requires an 80/20 match; the commission was awaiting the application evaluation, with results anticipated by year-end and any award expected later. The City Council had approved proceeding with the application, and the city used Grant Match for grant-writing assistance. No grant award or new contract approval was reported.

The commission also discussed a stormwater swale and trail being designed together at Hawkins Park as a Prop W project, with the design intended to minimize tree removal. Members considered public education topics and possible coordination with other city commissions. Staff advised that commission work plans and budgets are generally developed early in the new year, with typical annual commission allocations around $1,000–$1,500. Members approved the agenda and prior meeting minutes as amended; no other procurement votes were identified.
