CALL TO ORDER:

ATTENDANCE:
Those present at the meeting were:
Board Members: Susan Berger and Walt Daniels
SWD Administrative Asst.: Cathy Herrick
Deerfield Township Trustee: Lee Speidel
CMD: Chris Calpin and Chris Brausch
Pre-SWAC Meeting:
This Special Meeting was a work session to review and approve the proposed materials to be presented at the first SWAC meeting to be held on July 27th, 2005, by CDM who has been chosen to be the facilitator of the Storm Water Advisory Committee.
Chris Calpin stated that the power point presentation that he was about to share, was only a draft and that any comments, changes or suggestions were welcome at this time.
The presentation was reviewed by all in attendance with several changes made in wording and material to achieve a better understanding for the participants of the SWAC and what the DRSWD is about and attempting to accomplish. The goal of this presentation is to educate the SWAC as to their roles and responsibilities and the necessary steps that the DRSWD is taking to be in compliance with the Phase II Mandate of the Clean Water Act.
The Board felt that this information would be a good way to inform the public, as well, and could possibly be included in a future Board meeting so that the public could view the materials and become aware of the efforts being made and reasoning behind these goals and those of the DRSWD and the SWAC.
Chris Calpin added that they would be meeting Larry Weis on July 20, 2005, to gather further statistical information to be added to the presentation. Walt Daniels advised that if there were no objections, he would join the meeting with Larry Weis.
CDM and the Board also discussed various sites that they agreed should be photographed and added to the presentation for the visual affects and understanding for the SWAC’s educational development.
After reviewing the presentation, Chris Calpin asked how the DRSWD would like questions from the SWAC be directed. Susan Berger and Walt Daniels agreed that any questions regarding materials could be answered directly by CDM. If there were any questions for the SWD, Walt Daniels would field those questions or refer them to the appropriate board member.
At the conclusion of the presentation, Chris Calpin announced that each attendee would receive a hard copy of the materials after the final draft was completed.
Other Business:
Deerfield Day: President Berger addressed the issue of DRSWD participating in the Deerfield Day festival to take place on September 17, 2005.
