City Council - 6 - October 29, 1998 Staff has developed recommendations to educate the residents about the reduction in street sweeping service. The recommendations include a phased approach to remind residents about the street sweeping program in order to obtain greater cooperation in removing vehicles from the street on the appropriate street sweeping day. All expenditures currently charged against the Storm Water Enterprise Fund have been reviewed and non -General Fund funding sources have been identified for approximately $159,201 of the $1 Million Storm Water program costs. In addition, funding for storm water related capital improvements has been moved to the General Fund Capital Improvement Program in the amount of $123,000. These transfers have already been made. If the remainder of the charges must be transferred to the General Fund, the fiscal impact to the General Fund will be approximately $717,799, representing a major impact to existing services provided through the General Fund to the community. Storm Water Enterprise Fund Policy Consideration None at this time. WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SERVICE DELIVERY CHANGES AND OTHER ACTIONS IDENTIFIED ABOVE, THE STORM WATER ENTERPRISE FUND WILL BE BALANCED FOR FY98-99. Citizen Committee The customer base served by each of the Enterprise Funds is distinctive. As a result, it is recommended that different Citizen Committees be appointed, at the appropriate time, to insure proper customer representation on the committees. Based on the recommendation to focus on resolving the Refuse Enterprise Fund issue, the first Citizen Committee's role would be to review (1) the rates and service delivery changes for refuse collection and recycling; (2) a discount program for low-income individuals and families; (3) service options and suggested alternatives for gated communities; (4) curbside refuse pick-up program with the possibility of exemptions. It is suggested that an ad hoc committee of the City Council be convened to nominate representatives from the following community groups to participate on the Refuse Enterprise Fund Citizen Committee: • CPA (1) • Banker (1) • Homeowners' Associations (2) • Chamber (President or President-elect) (1) • Industrial customer representative (1) • Commercial customer representative (1)
