Discussion regarding methods of funding for Stormwater Capital Improvement projects Reference: Assistant Director of Public Services memo dated October 2, 2017 The Council discussed various funding options for both the East District and West District. Councilwoman Bookout asked the Council to consider the option of increasing the ERU to $10.35 for the entire City to pay for the East District Basin; Using $535,000 from remaining available reserves to pay for the cost of designing both projects; and continue to look for grant opportunities for the West Basin. Mayor Dannheisser stated that before taking any position on what to do with Stormwater utility fees council should wait until the November 20 th Public Meeting to get citizen input. Mayor Dannheisser stated he believes that the Stormwater fee should be an across the board increase to pay for the debt service, but the Stormwater increase should be in 2 different levels. The first level should be reflective of a city-wide benefit where everyone regardless of where they live receives some benefit from increasing the Stormwater utility fees and an additional component for site specific benefits. He expressed his desire to figure out an equitable means to pay for the fees. Councilwoman Bookout expressed that she believes the City is one community and all cost should be shared by all the residents. Councilwoman Fitch echoed the same sentiment. Councilman Naile would like to proceed on both projects at the same time at different levels and feels that the East Basin project is critical and possibly should be separated for direct funding. Councilwoman Bookout would like the Council to move forward with the design process on both projects and consider at the November 20 th meeting adding the $1.73 to the $3.55 per ERU per month to fund the existing debt service.
