• Ordinance Changes <br />Staff is proposing modification to the ordinance based on comments received at the <br />public hearing. We are hoping that these additions provide additional clarification. <br />Section 404.01 (2) - defines the components of the storm water system. <br />Section 404.01 (3) - limits the funding solely for the operation, maintenance, repair and <br />replacement of the system. <br />Section 404.01 (4) - states that the funds shall not be used for expansion of the system <br />to accommodate new development. <br />Section 404.01 (5) - states that an operating budget will be adopted annually by the city. <br />Credit Policy <br />The city has received requests to include a credit process for residential properties. <br />The draft Storm Water Utility policy establishes the procedural requirements for <br />obtaining credits. A single family residential "rain garden" credit has been incorporated <br />into the policy. A 50% credit ($15 /year) is available for implementation and <br />maintenance of a residential rain garden that accepts runoff from public property and <br />reduces the amount of runoff entering the storm system. The rain garden must be <br />approved by the city to receive the credit. <br />This policy is intended to assist property owners that are maintaining approved BMP's <br />that are part of the city's storm water management system. However, it is not <br />applicable to residential property owners with "private" on -site rain garden facilities. <br />When considering the credit process, benefit to the system or "system cost" was <br />evaluated. <br />System Cost. The city operates a storm water management system and there is a cost <br />to maintaining that system. Under the proposed credit system a rain garden that is part <br />of the "City's" system needs to be maintained and represents a cost to the city. <br />Maintenance of the rain garden, in this case, by a resident is a benefit to the system and <br />qualifies for a credit. Alternatively a private residential rain garden, while supported by <br />the city, does not directly relieve the city of any existing costs or responsibilities. <br />Staff believes the city should continue to promote private on -site BMP's. We will <br />continue to evaluate programs either through our education component or through other <br />governmental partnerships to assist residents who want to undertake these projects. <br />• <br />
