COUNCIL AGENDA
RECOMMENDATION
ACTION ITEM: Authorize the City Manager to place on the agenda for a public
discussion regarding the storm drain user fee on the September 15, 2015 Council
Agenda..
BACKGROUND
The Storm Drain User Fee is due to sunset in FY 15-16 (pursuant to a 2007 measure
approved by the City's property owners).
DISCUSSION
It is of significant interest to the public for this important discussion to take place before
the City Council election on November 3, 2015. Our citizens deserve to know where
each Councilmember stands on this issue before they vote. If the Council does choose
to move this public discussion forward, the mail -ballot election could still take place in
February -March 2016 if the council chooses to place this measure on the ballot.
CONCLUSION
If the City Council concurs with this proposal, the Council should give direction to the
City Manager to place this item on the September 15, 2015 agenda; to prepare the
necessary materials needed for a public discussion of the matter.
