File Number: 23-160 <br />Analysis <br />It is staff’s intent that if new stormwater fees are approved, the Fund would be self-sufficient (not <br />requiring future General Fund contributions), covering fully the operational and <br />maintenance/repair/replacement costs of the Stormwater Program, and thereby improving the <br />City’s overall financial sustainability. <br />Implementation of new stormwater fees involves a two-phased process. First, the City must hold a <br />protest hearing to notify affected parcel owners of the proposed Stormwater Fees. If the protest is <br />not successful, meaning less than 50% +1 of all property owners do not protest, the City may <br />continue to phase two. Phase two requires the City to mail ballots to affected property owners <br />which allows a “yes” or “no” vote to implement the proposed Stormwater Fees. If the City receives <br />a majority of “yes” votes from those property owners who return the ballot, the City Council may <br />adopt the Fee. If the City receives a majority of “no” votes, the Fee may not be adopted. <br />HF&H’s proposed scope of work includes the following tasks: <br />·Draft Notice of Public Hearing <br />·Coordination of printing/mailing services <br />·FAQ sheet for City’s website <br />·Public outreach via City newsletter, and up to 2 public information meetings <br />·Draft Ordinance/Resolution <br />·Attendance at Public Protest Hearing <br />·Draft Mail-in Prop. 218 Ballot, and up to 2 public information meetings <br />·Attendance at Public Hearing to verify legitimacy of the ballots <br />·Optional task to calculate and place proposed charges (if approved) on County tax roll <br />Financial Impacts <br />Sufficient funds are proposed in the Fiscal Year 2022 2023-2024 Stormwater Fund budget <br />(Account 598-58-006) for this work. <br />This Council action will not impact fund balance because there will be funds available in the FY <br />2023-2024 proposed budget (and consultant’s work would not begin prior to July 1, 2023 ). <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />Attachment A: Resolution for CSA with HF&H Consultants, LLC <br />Attachment B: HFH-Stormwater Rates Prop 218 Scope <br />PREPARED BY: Debbie Pollart, Director , Public Works Department <br />Page 2 City of San Leandro Printed on 4/26/2023
