It shall be the policy of the city that funding for the stormwater utility be equitably
derived through methods which have a demonstrable relationship to the varied demands
and impacts imposed on the stormwater systems and programs and/or the level of service
provided as a result of the provision of stormwater services and facilities. Service
charges for stormwater management shall be fair and reasonable and shall bear a substantial
relationship to the cost of providing services and facilities. The cost of stormwater
services and facilities may include operating, capital investment, and reserve expenses,
and may consider stormwater quality as well as stormwater quantity management requirements.
Similarly situated properties shall be charged similar rentals, rates, charges, fees,
or licenses.
Service charge rates shall be designed to be consistent and coordinated with the use
of other funding methods employed for stormwater management by the city, whether within
or outside the stormwater utility, including but not limited to plan review and inspection
fees, special fees for services, fees in-lieu of regulatory requirements, impact fees,
system development charges, and special assessments. To the extent practicable, credits-against
service charges and/or other methods of funding stormwater management shall be provided
for on-site stormwater control systems and activities constructed, operated, maintained
and performed to the city's standards by private property owners.
