18.4.2 Coordination
SPU has regularly scheduled meetings to foster communication and coordination with other
groups within SPU and other City departments:
Representatives from SPU PMED, Operations and USM meet weekly to discuss
drainage and wastewater utility issues that have come up during plan review. These
issues have implications for policy, operations, or maintenance. During the meeting,
the SPU reviewer consolidates branch comments onto a single set of plans.
USM, Real Property Services, and SPU PMED hold monthly Build-over Meetings
where they evaluate private proposals to build over SPU infrastructure.
DPD, SDOT, and SPU PMED hold weekly meetings for both pre-submittal
coordination and side sewer permitting. These meetings are used to discuss
drainage and wastewater issues for projects seeking DPD or SDOT permits.
SDOT holds semi-weekly meetings, which includes all reviewing departments. Predesign
guidance and 0%-90% design issues are discussed. SPU participates in these
meetings by communicating requirements and coordinating water, drainage and
wastewater concerns for projects seeking SPU approval on DPD or SDOT permits.
SPU PMED attends monthly coordination meetings with SDOT to collaborate on
SDOT’s CIP program.
