Jeff Bigby, with the City of Broken Arrow, will be conducting two roundtable meetings on November 30 and December 3 . They are both open to the public! If you are interested in Broken Arrow's proposed policy, and want to hear what developers and consultants think, please come. The one at 11:30 to 1:00 on November 30 is a regular meeting of the BA Builders\Developers Council. The meeting from 1:30 to 3:30 on December 3 rd is a separate engineers\consultants roundtable entirely devoted to the LID program . They are requesting comments on the draft manual on a card to be distributed the meetings.
While certification programs like the one proposed by the City of Broken Arrow are used in other parts of the country, they are new to Oklahoma. To my knowledge this will be the first LID certification program in the state, other than the national LEED and Green Globes standards. (Correct me if you know otherwise!) As such, it stands to become a template for many other communities that are looking to implement similar programs.
