Background Summary:
On February 7, 2006, City Commission directed staff to develop a sliding-scale model for the increase in the
Stormwater Utility Fees and to place the item on the City Commission meeting for adoption. Exhibit A of the attached
Stormwater Fee Increase Resolution includes the monthly as well as the annual fees.
The sliding-scale model considers a scaled fee distribution for the residential category based on the gross square
footage of the impervious areas. Both the "flat-fee" and the "sliding-scale" models are projected to produce an equal
sum of revenues in the target years. The recent amendment to Chapter 150 of the City Code modified and expanded the
properties subject to a stormwater fee to include Category A-residential with four (4) distinct classes based upon the
gross square footage, Category B- residential condominiums, Category C- developed non-residential properties, and
Category D- vacant land.
Issue:
Should the City Commission adopt the Stormwater Utility Fee Increase Resolution based on a sliding scale
model?
Recommendations
Staff respectfully requests that City Commission approve and adopt the Resolution.
Attachments:
Stormwater program presentation.
Financial Impact:
If implemented, the stormwater utility fees will fund a $12.2 million dollar 5-year program to include the operating as
well as the capital improvement projects.
