PW CASE <br /> <br />INTRODUCE STORM WATER UTILITY ORDINANCE <br /> By: Steve Jankowski, City Engineer <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />At the Council Work Session held in September, 1999, a stormwater utility ordinance was <br />presented for consideration. The basic concept of the creation of a storm water utility is that the <br />charges should be related to the amount of run-off a particular parcel of land produces. The <br />ordinance presented was based on a model ordinance used in the cities of Champlin, Brooklyn <br />Park, and Brooklyn Center. The ordinance utilized various land use classifications as the basis <br />for determining the amount of run-off relative to a single-family residential parcel. <br />Alternatively, staff presented another model ordinance (from the City of Woodbury), which was <br />based upon a calculation of the percentage of impervious area of any non-single-family <br />residential lot. The Council indicated a preference for this latter model and instructed staff to re- <br />draft the proposed ordinance accordingly. Attached is the draft ordinance complying with that <br />directive. <br /> <br />Committee Action: <br /> <br />Motion to recommend City Council introduce and adopt Ordinance #99-XX adding Section 4.80 <br />entitled "Storm Drainage Utility" to the Ramsey City Code. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />City Administrator <br />Director of Public Works <br />Finance Officer <br /> <br />PW: 11/16/99 <br /> <br /> <br />
