The agenda includes an annual stormwater update by Stormwater Coordinator Alan Gossett, required under the City’s NPDES MS4 permit, detailing past‑year activities like public education, public involvement, illicit discharge detection and elimination, construction and post‑construction runoff controls, and pollution prevention for municipal operations. This presentation is both a compliance step and an opportunity for Council to see current program workloads and gaps. Although no specific project is approved in this item, it signals an ongoing, regulated stormwater management program that must sustain and potentially expand activities over time.Vendors providing stormwater consulting, MS4 program support, public education campaigns, illicit discharge investigations, BMP design/retrofits, and municipal good‑housekeeping training can position themselves as partners to help Shelby meet permit requirements and prepare for any future tightening of regulations or capital stormwater projects identified through these annual reviews.

The City holds an MS4 permit, requiring annual reporting and multiple program elements; this often leads to periodic consulting or capital project work as needs are identified.
