12Green (and Gray) Infrastructure Program Management Need Increases with Approval of 4th Stipulation
• Green Infrastructure (GI) is an emerging technology and mostly new to Onondaga County Departments▫ Need for a trusted advisor on program implementationD t t f i ti ti d G▫ Department can focus on existing operations, and Gray Program projects, while learning to integrate with GI
• Role of the Green Program Manager• Role of the Green Program Manager▫ Develop strategy that meets ACJ milestones▫ Provide GI expertise on applications, design standards, p pp , g ,construction, and maintenance
▫ Prioritize opportunities based on diverse, dynamic factors▫ Transition to a fully County operated GI Program by 2018
