Memo
City Manager's Office
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Bob Kindred, Assistant City Manager f
DATE: May 8, 2007
SUBJECT: Storm Sewer Rate Increase
During final deliberations on the 2007-08 budget, the City Council authorized a rate increase for
the City's storm sewer utility. This rate adjustment will increase monthly storm water fees for
each utility customer from $2.25 to $2.60.
This rate increase will generate approximately $100,000 per year. This new level of funding will
be used, along with the new storm water construction permit fees, to cover the cost of
improvements to storm water protection programs in accordance with the EPA's National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System guidelines.
Attached is an ordinance to put this increase into effect beginning July 1, 2007.
