Summary
The county will borrow up to $125 million for stormwater and flood management projects, including $81 million for flood management and $50 million for facility repairs. Critics said it hands the executive too much borrowing power and funds stream restorations they say don't work; the council approved it anyway and agreed to project-by-project follow-up.
