Achieving Better Linkage
• Providing efficient operating space as
services and capabilities grow
– Incremental growth in infrastructure and
service commitments does not incrementally
grow the operating space
– Siting process for service space is
challenging

Transit Stations / Bus Shelters

FY 2018 and Beyond
• Provide basic services to meet expectations– Street Lights—after we master plan
– Commercial sidewalk maintenance
– Maintaining and operating the fiber network
– Ensuring long-term sustainability of asset base

Stormwater Fund
Proposed FY 2017 Budget Highlights
March 14, 2016
20
Stormwater Fund Budget at a Glance
• Proposed budget totals $9.8M
– A 6% increase from FY 2016 due to:
• Revenue growth from increasing
assessments
• New contract for maintenance of
stormwater facilities and other
contractual increases
• Funding to plant new trees, formerly
included in the Department of Parks &
Recreation budget
• Capital budget decreases due to an
increase in the budget for personnel and
non-personnel expenses
Proposed Budget Changes
• 1 inspector for construction site compliance inspections
• 1 management specialist to add bandwidth in two key areas of
workload growth:
• Management of comprehensive new maintenance contract for County-owned
stormwater management facilities
• Inspection and maintenance of rapidly growing portfolio of privately-owned
facilities
• 1 position in Department of Parks & Recreation to manage
compliance with MS4 permit and stormwater ordinance 21
• Total FTEs: 42.0– 5.0 FTE increase from FY 2016
includes:
• 1 engineer + 1 engineering supervisor to
create a dedicated engineering team to
support stormwater projects
Stormwater Achievements & Challenges
• MS4 permit requirements– Arlington successfully met 5% nutrient and
sediment reduction requirements for current
permit cycle, 3 years ahead of schedule.
– An additional 35% reduction in nutrient and
sediment loads will be required during next
permit cycle (2018 – 2023).
• Stormwater Management Ordinance– Critical new tool to meet MS4 permit
pollution reduction requirements and reduce
impacts to local streams and adjacent
properties.
– Technically complex and stringent
performance requirements—staff are
actively working to improve guidance for
increased clarity and customer service.22
