John Szerlag, City Manager <br /> <br />FROM: Jorge Vera, Assistant City Manager <br />Rick Conner, Director of Public Works <br /> <br />DATE: November 15,2007 <br /> <br />RE: Amend Section 235-3 of the City Code to Increase Stormwater Utility Fees <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br /> <br />This ordinance is presented for your consideration changing the current stormwater fee of $2.50 <br />per month to $4.00 per month. <br /> <br />REASONS: <br /> <br />Currently Section 235-3 of the City Code provides a stormwater fee of$2.50 which was adopted <br />ten years ago and has not been modified since inception. The State average of 105 major cities <br />now stands at $4.32 per parcel per month. With the Federally mandated NPDES Program <br />growing steadily each year, our costs are climbing as well. Staff is proposing this necessary <br />increase to help offset these expenditures. <br /> <br />ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: <br /> <br />Each parcel of land involved in this program is 1,500 square feet, and our City currently has <br />17,500 parcels. A $1.50 increase in fees will change our income from $525,000 to $840,000. <br /> <br />To be completed by Department Head To be compleft <br />Funding available; Approval: Agenc <br />Finance Department City Manager <br /> Cornu <br /> <br />Date <br /> <br />Q,6 <br />1;;2.-( 3-D7 <br /> <br />Agenda Item <br /> <br />Cover Memo Stormwater Utility Fees <br />
