CRITERIA FOR RANKING STORM WATER DRAINAGE PROJECTS

The following are the criteria used to rank the various drainage projects that are on the SWM Board Project List.

LOCATION	Is this project related to a water course over which the City has jurisdiction (as opposed to a owned/maintained facility)?
EXTENT OF OBLIGATION	Is the problem related to or independent of normal operation of the facility? Ex: An erosion problem along a ditch may be the responsibility of the City. A basement that experiences seepage when the water level in the ditch rises would not be the responsibility of the City.
RISK	What is the potential for property damage or personal injury?
IMPACT	How many people and/or properties are affected?
COST	How much will the project cost? How much will the cost increase if the project is not addressed quickly? Can the project be built in house?
ENVIRONMENT	Does the project improve water quality or other environmental issues?
TERM	How long has the project been "on the table"?
EFFICACY	How well does the project fit into the current timetable, budget, and overall plan?
