Title
Discuss The Stormwater Drainage Fund.
Body
BACKGROUND:
The Stormwater Drainage Fund project was introduced to the Finance Committee on May 13, 2025, with Freese and Nichols presenting the structure and funding needs of a proposed Stormwater Utility. The Committee recommended that the City Council approve a detailed fee study. The study was approved and completed and updated findings were shared at the July 29, 2025, Committee meeting. The Finance Committee recommended Service Level II to cover debt service for capital projects to support critical infrastructure projects and Service Level III for Operations and Maintenance to expand ongoing system drainage upkeep, including mowing, street sweeping, and channel maintenance.
This work session will provide City Council with an overview of the Stormwater Drainage fee study, a timeline and request direction on the upcoming public hearing.
