STAFF REPORT <br /> PAGE TWO <br /> AUGUST 9, 1993 <br /> The Surface Water Management Utility is being established to provide a stable <br /> source of revenue with which the City can maintain the storm water system and also <br /> complete projects which are deemed necessary to provide for the safety, health and <br /> welfare of the City's residents and business community. <br /> The Surface Water Management Utility will be a public utility system similar to the <br /> City's water and sewer utility. The fees are based on the level of run off contribution <br /> per designated land use. Residential properties will be charged a flat fee of $4.00 <br /> per quarter.- Other land users are charged a fee based on a formula which defines <br /> the ratio of run off volume, in inches, to the run off volume, in inches, for an average <br /> residential lot, assuming a 2 inch rainfall. <br /> The methodology was not derived by a parcel-by-parcel analysis, but rather from the <br /> total acreage in each land use category as per the current municipal zoning map. <br /> The methodology and corresponding fee schedule is based on a simple concept: <br /> the amount of fees charged are in direct correlation to the amount of surface water <br /> run off. <br /> The Surface Water Management Utility is expected to generate approximately <br /> $114,000 per year to be used in conjunction with the City's Surface Water <br /> Management Plan's policies and procedures. <br />
