RE: Information regarding Resolution 2024-139, Appointment of Boxelder Basin
Regional Stormwater Authority Board of Director
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this memo is to provide background information as requested by Mayor Arndt on
November 25, 2024 related to the proposed change in the City’s representation on the Boxelder
Basin Regional Stormwater Authority Board of Directors. This item is scheduled for consideration at
the December 3, 2024 City Council Meeting.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
In May, 2023, Jennifer Dial, the City’s Water Resources Manager, was jointly appointed by the City
and County in May 2023 to fill that Board Director position. Ms. Dial has requested to step down
from this position to enable someone with more direct work experience in stormwater and floodplain
to be appointed to her Director position.
In the past, vacant Board Director positions were advertised on both the City and County websites
with the intent of having City Councilmembers interview and appoint candidates. On two occasions,
there were no applicants for the position. In 2021 and 2024, a more direct selection process was
used which took into account interest and availability of City staff to fill these positions. This process
identified candidates and the City Council selection committee was not used. City Council appointed
City staff on both of those occasions to serve on the BBRSA Board of Directors.
Kenneth Sampley, Director of Stormwater Engineering and Development Review, previously served
for five years on this Board, the majority of that as President of the Board. Mr. Sampley has over 40
years of experience with all aspects of stormwater and floodplain master planning, design and,
construction engineering, infrastructure rehabilitation. Mr. Sampley was identified as someone who
will appropriately represent both the City’s and County’s interests for the BBRSA. This resolution
appoints Kenneth Sampley as the Director jointly appointed by the City and County.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council approve the resolution appointing Kenneth Sampley as the Joint
BBRSA Board Director for both the City and County.
