RES. N0. 88-165 The City Council was advised that in November, the City
Council adopted an Ordinance concerning storm drainage fees

CC -56 be adopted in this implementing Resolution. The
CC -176 recommended fees are 54,830 per gross commercial/industrial

acre of residential to comm ercialjindustrial conversion if
the property had previously paid a Master Drainage Fee.
Present fees total $5,170 per gross acre.
City staff prepared a report "Storm Drainage Fee Study,
November 1988" which included the background material
supporting the proposed fees. This report was sent to 18
members of the development communi ty (engineers,
developers, and builders) and the newspapers, as well as to
the City Council.
An informational meeting was held on Friday, December 2
which one local engineer attended. Staff has received no
other response to the study.
One issue that was raised at the meeting was that of
reimbursements. Under the terms of Section 4 of the
Ordinance, the City wi 11 reimburse developers for the
oversizing necessary for Master Plan Storm Drains at the
time of development. Reimbursements for other minor
oversizing i s not covered by the Ordinance and Resolution.
Staff intended to rely on the State Subdivision W Act
which provides for reimbursement agreements covering the
affected property. This means that the developer must wait
for the affected property to develop in order to collect
the reimbursement. This issue was formerly covered by the
City's In -Tract Fee and Credit system which does not comply
with AB 1600 and is being dropped.
