Storm Water Facilities, Charges, and Fund 11 § 51.05 EXEMPTIONS. The following land uses are exempt from facilities charges: (A) City, county, and state road and highway rights-of-way; (B) Lakes and ponds; and (C) City-owned property. (1993 Code, § 405.05) § 51.06 SEPARATE FUND. All facilities charges, when collected, and all moneys received from the sale of any facilities or equipment or any byproducts, will be placed in a separate fund, and used first to pay the normal, reasonable, and current costs of operating and maintaining the facilities. The net revenues received in excess of the costs may be pledged by resolutions of the City Council, or may be used though not so pledged, for the payment of principal and interest on obligations issued as provided in M.S. § 444.075, Subd. 2, as it may be amended from time to time, or to pay the portion of the principal and interest as may be directed in the resolutions. (1993 Code, § 405.06) § 51.07 ADJUSTMENT OF CHARGES. The City Council may by ordinance adopt policies providing for the adjustment of facilities charges for parcels or groups of parcels, based upon land use data supplied by affected property owners, which data demonstrates a runoff volume for the standard rainfall event substantially different from the REF being used for the parcel or parcels. The adjustment will be made only upon recommendation of the Public Works Director and will not be made effective retroactively. (1993 Code, § 405.07) § 51.08 PUBLIC HEARING AND NOTICE. The city will hold a hearing prior to determining whether to build, construct, enlarge, or improve facilities financed in whole or in part by the imposition of facility charges. Notice of the hearing will be published in the official city newspaper at least 10 days prior to the date of hearing. Owners of all property adjoining a proposed improvement will be mailed or served with a notice at least 10 days in advance of the hearing. Failure to give mailed notice or any defects in the notice will not invalidate the proceedings. (1993 Code, § 405.08)
