WORKSHOP MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />OCTOBER 14, 2020 <br />determine what the property fee amount should be. He noted that Bolton & Menk has done <br />many of these studies and has submitted a proposal for Little Canada. <br />Mark Kasma stated that as city engineer, he has seen many of the stormwater issues that Little <br />Canada has been dealing with, and stated that many neighboring cities collect stormwater fees. <br />He explained that residential properties typically pay a flat fee and a formula is used to determine <br />how much a commercial property's fee would be. Tim Olson, Bolton & Menk, noted that a <br />stormwater fee also makes the MS4 program much more fiindable. He stated that the study <br />could be done in four to six months, and public information is important for this too, so his <br />estimate is that the fee could be ready to implement as soon as about eight months. He explained <br />that the fee amount will depend on what type of projects the City wants to fund from a <br />Stormwater Utility Fund. <br />Keis asked if there was money planned for a stormwater study. The Finance Director stated that <br />there are dollars planned from the fiind balance in 2021 to pay for this study. The City <br />Administrator stated that staff is looking for direction now to see if there is Council interest to <br />move forward with a stormwater rate study. Fischer stated that in general he is supportive of a <br />stormwater fee and the study, but also wants to figure out what the City would want to pay for <br />with this fee and how much are the City's stormwater costs going up. <br />There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 7:31 p.m. <br />ea� 4%--- J*�Iq <br />John T leis, Mayor <br />Attest: <br />Llkt�—iL &,#� <br />Christopher Heine , City Administrator <br />R1 <br />
