management program be funded through current
revenue options by reprioritization of the City's

review its priorities and make the decision on
whether the storm water management program can
be funded through existing revenue sources.
(unanimous recommendation of the CAC).

CAC RECOMMENDATION #2

budgets cannot be reprioritized to meet the required
storm water management program needs, a user fee
shall be implemented as the alternative funding
mechanism to meet the needs (17 votes for a user
fee and 3 votes for an increase in property taxes as
the alternative source of revenue), Credits shall be
given to those properties that provide storm water
management actions that reduce the City's cost of
storm water management (unanimous
recommendation of the CAC).
