IV. Discussion Items:
A. Storm water
Glenn Cutler, Director of Public Works and Utilities, gave an overview of the proposed ordinance
revisions, compliance dates, current and proposed budgets, financial impacts of stormwater fees, and
preliminary projections for revenues and impacts with breakdowns for $3.00, $3.50, $6.00 and $8.00
monthly charges. A discussion followed with minor corrections made to the ordinance. Some concern
was raised regarding the private rate reduction and single family/duplex property versus single
family/multi family in respect to word usage to be in compliance with the building code. Staff indicated
all variables could not be covered and that the presentation reflected a reasonable start with the ability to
make formal adjustments every three years.
Staff was directed to pursue the $3.00 monthly fee with a $30.00 cap, revise the ordinance as discussed,
evoke a property lien for those properties without utilities who are in violation with non-compliance,
combine the Current Stormwater Utility Budget and Proposed Stormwater Utility Budget charts for
future presentation, and include with the final information to Council the Chamber of Commerce letter
showing support. The Stormwater issue will appear on the August 13,2002 agenda.
