Organizational Charts and<br />
Activity Flow<br />
• Framework of joint permit is agency program<br />
• Organization tables for communities feed into<br />
agency program organization<br />
• Communities define their interaction with<br />
agencies: who and how for each BMP (often one<br />
person)<br />
• Communities define their internal interaction<br />
• In Summit County, organizational activity is<br />
already in place: an organizational table merely<br />
makes it formal
Looking Forward<br />
• Where now?<br />
– Expand successful program<br />
– Go beyond minimum requirements<br />
– Boldly attack new frontiers<br />
• Example: Improved info for home owners, such as<br />
rain gardens, native plant landscapes, minimal<br />
mowing, more trees<br />
• Example: Local community coordination within<br />
watersheds<br />
• Example: Aggressive promotion of low-Impact<br />
development and green space
