<br />ORDINANCE NO. 529 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW <br />COUNTY OF RAMSEY <br />STATE OF MINNESOTA <br /> <br />AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT UTILITY AND <br />AMENDING THE MOUNDS VIEW MUNICIPAL CODE BY ADDING CHAPTER 73 <br /> <br />The City Council of the City of Mounds View does hereby ordain: <br /> <br />SECTION I. General Operation. <br /> <br />Subdivision 1. The Municipal surface water system shall be operated as a public utility <br />(hereinafter called the Surface Water Management Utility), pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section <br />444.075, from which revenues wi.ll be derived subject to the provisions of this Chapter and Minnesota <br />Statutes. The Mounds View Municipal Code is amended by adding Chapter 73 to be entitled, <br />"Surface Water Management Utility". <br /> <br />Subdivision 2. FindinQs and Determinations. In providing for such charges, the findings and <br />determinations are as follows: <br /> <br />(a) In the exercise of its governmental authority and in order to promote the public health, <br />.-afety, convenience and general welfare, the City has constructed, operated and maintained a surface <br />ater system ("the system"). This section is adopted in the further exercise and authority and for the <br />same purpose. <br /> <br />(b) The system, as constructed, heretofore has been financed and paid for through the ad <br />valorem taxes and assessments. Such financing methods were appropriate to the circumstances at <br />the time they were used. It is now necessary and desirable to provide an alternative method of <br />recovering some or all of the future costs of improving, maintaining and operating the system through <br />the imposition of user charges. <br /> <br />(c) In imposing charges, it is necessary to establish a methodology that undertakes to make <br />them just and equitable. Taking into account the status of completion of the system, past methods <br />of recovering system costs, the topography of the City and other relevant factors, it is determined that <br />it would be just and equitable to assign responsibility for some or all of the future costs of operating,' <br />maintaining and improving the system on the basis of the expected storm water runoff from the <br />various parcels of land within the City during a standard one-year rainfall event. <br /> <br />(d) Assigning costs and making charges based upon typical storm water runoff cannot be <br />done with mathematical precision but can only be accomplished within reasonable and practical <br />limits. The provisions of this section undertake to establish a reasonable and practical methodology <br />for making such charges. <br /> <br />. <br />
