Dick has served as the
town's representative on the Monroe County Stormwater Coalition
since its inception in late 2000. The coalition is made up of a
representative of every town, village, various county and state
agencies whom are required to be permitted under the MS4 Phase II
Law. Most of the towns and villages whom did not fall under these
requirements also are members of the coalition. This group is broken
down into various sub-committees designed to deal with each of the
six different management practices listed above.
