CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT For the Council Meeting of July 6, 1999 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL: HENRY T. GARCIA, CITY MANAGER FROM: THOMAS K. CLARKE, UTILITY DIRECTOR " R "000*' SUBJECT: SET A PUBLIC HEARING FOR JULY 20, 1999 TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE BASIC FEE FOR STORMWATER MANAGEMENT AND THE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT FEE. DATE: JUNE 24. 1999 BACKGROUND: In October, 1990 the County of San Bernardino, Flood Control District was issued a five year NPDES Stormwater Permit, with 16 incorporated cities as co -permittees. On October 4, 1994, Council approved the City's participation in a County -wide NPDES Stormwater Assessment. The five year permit took effect in October, 1995 and will end in October, 2000. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: There is no increase in the Basic Fee for Stormwater Management and the Stormwater Management Charge. Land owners, who have not changed their property usage, will not receive an increase over previous three years' charges. The proposed amendment affects only the vacant parcels that have been developed, or have new designated land use groups. The fees collected this year will fund the first year of the two-year budget which includes the City's operational costs for street sweeping, storm drain cleaning, roadway maintenance and litter control. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The cost to the City's residential and commercial land owners is the same as previous years. The revenue is used to fund the City's NPDES Stormwater Program, as mandated by Federal and State regulations. Without the stormwater charges, the General Fund will have to cover the costs for the on-going Stormwater Program (FY99- 00 $788,425 and FY00-01 $735,779). RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that the Council set a public hearing for July 20, 1999 to adopt a Resolution Amending the Basic Fee for Stormwater Management and the Stormwater Management Fee.
