Memo
+ City Manager's Office
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Bob Kindred, Assistant City Manager
DATE: May 18, 2007
SUBJECT: Ordinance Establishing New Stormwater Fees
As part of the City's continuing efforts to comply with the federal Clean Water Act, the 2007-08
Budget includes revenue from two new stormwater fees. These fees will help offset costs for a
new employee who will review site plan stormwater pollution prevention plans and will
administer stormwater development activities for individual building lots. These two fees are
estimated to generate $45,000 each year towards the $80,000 cost of these new programs. The
balance of the cost will be covered through an increase in the existing stormwater utility fee and
through reimbursement for subdivision design services from developers.
These fees, as well as establishment of the additional Full-time equivalent employee (FTE), were
approved by Council as part of the 2007-08 Budget.
Sections 5.401(1) and(3) of the attached ordinance authorizes implementation of these new fees.
