<br />Summary of Storm Water Utility Benefits <br /> <br />• The City operates a storm water management system and there is a cost to maintaining that system. <br />• There are mandated Federal and State storm water program requirements all cities must meet. <br />• City residents already pay for these costs through property taxes. The Storm Water <br />Utility is just a different method. <br />• The Council maintains control over the storm water management budget. <br />• The Council approves the storm water utility budget and the projects each year. <br />• A separate storm water utility budget makes expenditures more transparent for City <br />residents. <br />• The utility will NOT fund construction of improvements for new development. <br />• The storm water utility is more equitable to all users– the more storm water runoff a property contributes to the system the more the property pays resulting in lower costs for single family residences. <br />Representatives from WSB and Associates, the City’s consulting engineering, will be present at <br />the meeting to provide an overview of the utility and address questions. Consideration of a resolution establishing the credit policy will follow approval of the Storm Water Utility. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION Hold public hearing.
