Body
Recommended Action:
Recommendation
Consideration of the following items:
Motion to approve and accept Resolution No. 146-24 establishing a budget for the Stormwater Utility System, establishing the rates for FY 2024/2025 Stormwater Management Assessments, and certifying and adopting the Stormwater Assessment Roll.
Body
Background:
On May 16th, 2023, Ordinance No. 18-23 was approved to amend Title 5 "Public Works", Chapter 56 "Stormwater" of the City's Code of Ordinances to allow City staff to proceed with an alternative rate structure for the annual stormwater tax roll that was developed to recover costs more accurately and more fairly based on a property’s contribution to stormwater runoff.
The Stormwater Billing Unit (SWU) rate for FY 24-25 is assigned to one of four tiers based upon their impervious coverage area. Residential properties with more than 10,000 square feet of impervious coverage area would be charged based upon their actual impervious area. Non-residential properties would continue to be billed based upon their actual impervious area utilizing the SWU.
No increase is proposed from the FY23-24 adopted SWU rate which is currently $13.44/SWU
