DEPARTMENT: Public Works
CONTACT INFORMATION: Randy Dodd, Stormwater Utility Manager 919 918-7341; Joe Guckavan, Public Works Director, 919 918-7427
INFORMATION: On September 10th, the Board received a staff report discussing stormwater service delivery and identifying options for accelerated and expanded service delivery going forward. Staff have reviewed and responded to the feedback provided and studied revenue needs for the program and translated the needs into a draft rate structure, as described in the staff memo and shown in the resolution. A public hearing is required for changes to the rate structure. It is recommended that this occur in January to provide ample time for consideration of the outcome in the preparation of the FY 20/21 operating budget. Staff will advertise through a variety of online/electronic means and the media, and will also plan for one or more drop in sessions.
FISCAL & STAFF IMPACT: The typical public hearing notice and advertising costs and staff impact will apply.
RECOMMENDATION:r It is recommended that the Board set a public hearing on draft amendments to the Stormwater Utility rate structure for January 28th, 2020.
