Proposal for the Establishment of a Stormwater Utility 6/19/2019 Page: 5 Task 9.0 – Finalize Stormwater Utility Rate Database Upon acceptance of the ordinance, the database that has been described throughout the previous tasks will be finalized to reflect the direction of the council and the accepted ordinance. Bolton & Menk will then work with City staff to incorporate the database into the current utility billing system. This is likely to include new billing names that were not previously included in the utility billing schedule. This is because properties like storage facilities that do not have a need for water and sewer service will now be billed for their contribution to the storm sewer system (an example of the fair distribution of the fees). Bolton & Menk will also prepare a storm water utility parcel map, showing the various parcels and parcel codes, in a layer format that is compatible with the City GIS system. Task 10.0 – Develop Administrative Processes Bolton & Menk will work with City staff to develop administrative processes necessary to run the stormwater utility – especially the appeal process for resolving conflicts. This will likely be relative to a credit system for the private best management practices (BMPs) like stormwater ponds, stormwater infiltration, rainwater harvesting, etc. This administrative process will also include a database updating system that is based on building permits. We typically recommend that the city building permit form include an entry for the increase in impervious area that can be added to the database on a regular schedule.
