At the meeting of September 5, lg89, Council adopted Ordinance 2331 which
revised the procedures for establishing open space districts in the City and
provided for the maintenance of improvements in open space areas. Although

of natural drainage ways.
Purpose
Establish a Council Policy which outlines the responsibilities of the
developer regarding maintenance of natural drainage ways. -
Poli~y '
The Council establishes the following policy for the maintenance of natural
drainage ways~
1. When a developer requests formation of an open space district which
includes a natural drainage channel as part of an open space lot, the
developer shall maintain the natural drainage facilities for a period of
five years. The five year maintenance period by the developer will start
when the City Council accepts the open space landscaping.
2. The maintenance shall be: guaranteed through a bond to the City in an
amount equal to the estimated five-year cost. At the request of the
developer, the City may allow the bond to be reduced annually by 10% per
year and released completely after five years.
3. The district shall be formed and assessments levied during the five year
period while the full cost of maintenance of the channel is being born by
the developer. This provides a reserve amount to be utilized in case of
emergency.
4. The upstream property uwners may be required as a condition of approval
of future development to pay their fair share of the maintenance costs of
downstream natural drainage facilities which are within, and maintained
by, other open space districts.
