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, VACANCY, VACANCY, Planning Board liaison Alisha Lane and City Council liaison Joe Hudson.

RESPONSIBILITIES: The SWAC works with City staff to become knowledgeable about stormwater in Statesville, educated on issues within the City, review guidelines and make recommendations to the City Council about stormwater runoff control and stormwater management
