Stormwater Advisory Commission
The City of Statesville created a Stormwater Advisory Commission (SWAC) in December
of 2016. Members of this new commission were appointed by the City Council
and assisted in the study and creation of the City's stormwater service utility. The
creation of the commission was a result of the state's directive to begin developing a
plan to meet North Carolina's stormwater requirements.
To the extent possible, the commission has members who: have experience in the
development or building industry; are interested in the environment; are involved in
neighborhood or homeowner associations; or have interests in the areas of
retail/commercial, industrial/manufacturing, institutional (e.g., churches, schools, nonprofits) or technical (engineers, architects, surveyors). Members should be a resident of,
own property in or conduct business in the City of Statesville. Non-voting members will
be a member of City Council, a member from the Planning Board and the City's
Assistant Public Works Director. Members serve 3-year terms.
MEETINGS: The SWAC meets quarterly on the third Thursday of the month at 12:00 p.m. in the City
Hall Conference Room on the 2nd floor.
MEMBERSHIP: Mary Katherine Harbin, Tim Johnson, Steve Knight, Daniel Pope, Janice Powell, Richard Rainwater, David Reese,
