City Council Meeting

Satoshi Etostaffstormwater facility retrofits. One-third is for operating expenses such as staff, equipment, and materials. 15% are capital maintenance projects, 11% for flood mitigation and floodplain management, and about 8% for drainage improvements. The focus for FY26 was on completing two major environmental projects. Those were the Stafford Drive stream restoration and Ashby Pond dredging and retrofit projects, and those were both substantially completed in February. These projects were partially funded by the Department of Environmental Quality and provide progress towards the city's Chesapeake Bay and Accutink Creek pollutant reduction goals. We also completed drainage improvements on Norman Avenue and Cobb Drive.
