Item to be presented

RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING FEES AND CHARGES FOR STORM
DRAINAGE UTILITY SERVICES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2001-2002
DEPARTMENT: City Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council open the public hearing, receive testimony, close the public hearing and adopt
Resolution establishing fees and charges for storm drainage utility services for fiscal year 2001-
2002.
BACKGROUND
The Federal Clean Water Act sets forth specific requirements with which the City must comply
on an annual basis. These requirements are provided in the National Pollution Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) Permit issued by the California Regional Water Quality Control
Board. In order to fund the services needed to be in compliance with this federally mandated
program, the City adopted Ordinance No. 94-7, enacting Chapter 15.50 of the Santa Clarita
Municipal Code (SCMC), Storm Drainage Utility Enterprise Fund including the Storm Drainage
Pollution Abatement Charge. This charge was originally enacted in 1994. However, in compliance
with the Government Code it is reaffirmed each year.
For fiscal year 2001-2002, the fee will remain unchanged at $21 per equivalent dwelling unit. This
fee is based on the cost of providing the services required under the NPDES permit, which is
estimated at $2,170,000 per year.
Government Code Section 54354.5 states that the specific fees to be charged for services must be
adopted by City Council Resolution, after providing notice and holding a public hearing. The City
has provided notice and will receive testimony at this public hearing.
