Fairhope Council briefed on recent action in stormwater

During Monday’s City Council meeting, Gregg Mims, city planning director, gave an update on recent legislation having local impact.

One bill is significant because it would create a stormwater management authority to govern regulations and control for stormwater runoff from construction sites and other sources throughout the county, instead of on a citywide basis as it is currently done, he said. The bill passed May 31, resulted in a local constitutional amendment, which is to be on the ballot in November 2010 for action by Baldwin County voters, he said.
