CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT For the Council Meeting of June 19, 2001 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL: HENRY T. GARCIA, CITY MANAGER / FROM: THOMAS K. CLARKE, UTILITY DIRECTOR SUBJECT: SET A PUBLIC HEARING FOR JULY 17, 2001 TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE BASIC FEE FOR STORMWATER MANAGEMENT AND THE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT FEE DATE: JUNE 8, 2001 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. The second five-year permit took effect for the period of October 1995 to October 2000 and a third permit is now in effect till October 2005. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: There is no increase in the Basic Fee for Stormwater Management and the Stormwater Management Charge. Landowners, 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 second year of the two-year budget which includes the City's operational costs for street sweeping, storm drain cleaning, roadway maintenance and litter control. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: None FINANCIAL IMPACT: The cost to the City's residential and commercial landowners 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 (FY01-02 $693,261 and FY02-03 $640,570). RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that the Council set a public hearing for July 17, 2001 to adopt a Resolution Amending the Basic Fee for Stormwater Management and the Stormwater Management Fee.
