To the editor:
I’m not sure what was most astonishing about City Council’s discussion of the stormwater fee on Jan. 12 – that not one city council member questioned the magnitude of the city’s nearly half-billion dollar stormwater construction proposal, or that no one asked what analysis was done to arrive at an exact doubling of the stormwater fee.
In any case, it seems that T&ES has once again been caught with its pants down. How out of touch can a public works department be when it has failed to act on the threat of climate change both in terms of coastal and inland flooding? Many other cities with similar risks are well into development or even execution of their climate change “resilience” plans to harden their infrastructure against flooding.
