Every person or entity owning real property within the City of San Leandro, or owning property not within the incorporated City limits but discharging storm water to a collection and conveyance system owned and operated by the City of San Leandro, shall pay a service charge calculated in accordance with the provisions of this article as set forth from time to time by resolution of the City Council. Section 3 -15 -520. Calculation of Services Charges. Service charges shall be calculated in a manner which distributes, as equitably as possible, storm water system costs to users of the system proportionate to the benefit received. In consideration of the fact that storm water runoff and consequent storm water system loading is directly related to the physical size and impervious surface area of any parcel of land, those factors shall be utilized in the calculation of service charges. For the purpose of this section, impervious surface area shall be represented by the runoff factor established for parcels on the basis of use and as otherwise determined by the Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation District. In addition, other factors which disproportionately affect storm water system costs and which are attributable to any user or class of users may be utilized in the setting of rates for that user or class of users. Section 3 -15 -525. Collection, Interest and Penalties. The City Manager is authorized to have the charges imposed by this article collected by the County of Alameda in conjunction with the County's collection of property tax revenues for the City of San Leandro. In the event that the County of Alameda collects the charges imposed by this Article, the imposition of penalties, additional fees, and interest upon owners who fail to remit any delinquent remittance under this Article shall be subject to and governed by the rules, regulations, and procedures utilized by the County of Alameda in its collection of property taxes and charges for the City of San Leandro, and in its collection of this additional charge for the City of San Leandro. Every penalty imposed and all interest accrued under the provisions of this article shall become a part of the charges herein required to be paid. Section 3 -15 -530. Delinquent Charges Remedies. (a) Delinquent charges are hereby made a lien upon the real property served by the storm water system; (b) The amount of any charge, penalty, and interest imposed under the provisions of this Article shall be deemed a debt to the city. Section 2. This ordinance shall take effect thirty (30) days after adoption and the title thereto shall be published once prior to adoption. 8
