• 4. Storm Water Management Plan Im lementation P Implementation Priorities and Cost The implementation plan includes information on plan amendments and financing alternatives. At this time the City does not have any storm water issues included in their capital improvement plan. The City will continue to cooperate and coordinate capital improvement projects with the Capitol Region and the Rice Creek Watershed Districts as the Districts add projects within the City to their Plans. At this time no specific projects have been identified in their Plans. Paying for water management projects and administrative activities has become more complex in recent years. In the past, special assessments against benefited properties financed most of the necessary improvements. However, the financial options have broadened considerably. The question is, which method(s) best suits the needs of the City. The major categories of possible funding sources are: • Ad Valorem Tax • Special Assessments • Trunk Storm Sewer/Development Fees • • Storm Water Utility Fees • Grants Amendment Procedures The Falcon Heights WRMP is intended to extend through the year 2017. For the plan to remain dynamic a means must be available to implement new information, ideas, methods, standards and management Amendment proposals can be requested any time by any person or persons either residing or having business within the City. • Request for Amendments Written requests for plan amendment are submitted to the City staff. The request shall outline the need for the amendment as well as additional materials that the City will need to consider before making its decision. Staff Review A decision is made as to the validity of the request. Three options exist, 1) reject the amendment 2) accept the amendment as a minor issue, with minor issues collectively added to the plan at a later date 3) accept the amendment as a major issue, with major issues requiring an immediate amendment. In acting on an amendment request, staff shall recommend to City council whether or not a public hearing is warranted. • Falcon Heights Comprehensive Plan Draft January, 2008 Page IV - 15 Part IV: Parks, Community, Economic Development, Implementation, Appendices
