WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that new development creates the need for acquisition, construction, reconstruction, improvement, maintenance, operation and use of trunk storm water facilities and regional ponding systems; and, WHEREAS, the City Council has further determined that existing development fees are inadequate to pay the costs of new trunk storm water facilities and regional ponding systems, and payment by the City would require previously developed properties to be assessed for improvements, the need for which is being generated primarily by new development rather than existing development; and, WHEREAS, these new trunk storm water improvements and regional ponding systems will be acquired, constructed, operated, used and maintained in accordance with the City's comprehensive storm water management plan; and, WHEREAS, the City Council has considered the information, recommendations and conclusions contained in the Storm Water Trunk Fee Justification Report dated May 1999, updated March 2002, and does adopt it and any updates or addendums to it which may be approved by future Resolution of the Council for purposes of setting storm water trunk and ponding fees. NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby ordained as follows: Section 1.

Storm water trunk and ponding fees shall be set by Resolution of the City Council from time to time, and the information recommendations and conclusions contained in the Trunk Storm Water Fee Justification Report and any updates or addendums to it which are approved by future Resolution of the Council are hereby adopted. Section 2. This system of trunk and ponding fees shall be administered by the City's engineering staff. Section 3. Severabili.
