REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION Agenda Section: 1 111170SReport Number: 93-489WS STAFF REPORT ° Report Date: 4-29-93 AGENDA SESSION DATE MAY 3 , 1993 DISPOSITION Item Description: Continued Discussion on Implementation of Surface Water Management Plan Administrator's Review/Recommendation: - No comments to supplement this report - Comments attached. Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) SUMMARY; Council requested information regarding the difference between financing the Local Water Management Plan implementation through taxes and a utility approach. The basic scenario for implementation of the plan is to include annual expenses for inspections, administration, ordinance reviews, plan amendments, and various studies and reports as well as an initial project for 1993 of $30, 000 (Long Lake Road storm sewers) and a major capital project in 1997 (Ardan Avenue Storm Sewer, $457, 710) . At the end of the 5 year period a balance of $100, 000 was to be in the Surface Water Management Fund. Rocky Keehn of Short-Elliott-Hendrickson calculated the quarterly cost of various property classes based on zoning using a utility approach. The utility costs are based on storm water run-off from a rainfall of 2 inches. The utility charges are related to the run-off generated by the various types of property in the City: The contributors of storm water pay according to the amount contributed. Rocky's letter is attached for your reference. Don Brager and I calculated the impact on property taxes of increasing the general levy by the same amount as would be generated by the utility charges. The attached Summary Table includes these costs as compared to the utility based approach. tde Ric M' etor Director of Public Works/City Engineer RECOMMENDATION;
