CITY OF SAN LEANDRO STAFF REPORT Date: July 29, 1998 To: John J. Jermanis, City Manager From: Robert J. Rockett, Public Works Di Subject: Storm Water Enterprise Fund Rate Increase SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION APPROVED AND FORWARDED TO CITY COUNCIL John J. Jermanis I'h 0 City Manager `I - Nq, �1b51aall�3l g� OR-a3 --78 The Storm Water Enterprise Fund has a revenue requirement of $140,107. Staff recommends increasing the Storm Water Enterprise Fund rates by 13.6%. DISCUSSION In 1993, the City Council adopted an ordinance to establish a "Storm Water Management and Discharge Control Program Enterprise Fund". This ordinance provides for the establishment of a service charge to all properties discharging storm water to San Leandro's collection and conveyances system, and was intended to be an ongoing funding source to ensure activities required by the National Pollute and Discharge Elimination System Permit are fully funded and can be continued. Fund expenditures have increased annually. The service charge has never increased. This fund pays for the cleaning of storm sewers, street cleaning, environmental compliance, education, and administrative charges to Alameda County for program implementation and testing of our stream channels. This Enterprise Fund has a revenue requirement of $140,107. A rate increase of 13.6% is needed to offset this deficit. The process for Proposition 218 requires the City provide written notice to the property owner of the amount of the fee, the basis for the fee, and the date, time and place of the required public hearing. On Monday, June 15, 1998, the City Council authorized staff to notify all affected individuals that a public hearing which would consider a rate increase of 13.6% for the Storm Water Enterprise Fund would be held at City Hall on August 3, 1998. A copy of the notices are attached for City Council information. -- 51
