Title 21 · Chapter 21 - STORMWATER MANAGEMENT

Annual stormwater resolution

Section: 21-129

(a)

During its budget adoption process, the council may adopt an annual stormwater resolution for each fiscal year following adoption of the final stormwater resolution. The final stormwater resolution shall constitute the annual stormwater resolution for the initial fiscal year. The annual stormwater resolution, if adopted, shall approve the stormwater roll for such fiscal year. The stormwater roll shall be prepared in accordance with the initial stormwater resolution, if adopted, as confirmed or amended by the final stormwater resolution.

(b)

In the event council elects to budget the stormwater service cost for more than one (1) fiscal year, then in such an event:

(1)

For the first fiscal year, the notices provided pursuant to sections 21-126 and 21-127 hereof shall contain statements specifying the period for which the stormwater charges will be imposed and for subsequent fiscal years, the notices provided pursuant to sections 21-126 and 21-127 hereof are not necessary unless otherwise required by the Uniform Assessment Collection Act; and

(2)

For the first fiscal year, an annual stormwater resolution shall be adopted and shall specify: (a) the period for which the stormwater charges are to be imposed, and (b) the parcel data work to be conducted by the department and the adjustments to the stormwater roll, if any, that are permitted during such period; and

(3)

For subsequent fiscal years, no annual stormwater resolution shall be required and the official shall cause the stormwater roll to be certified to the tax collector in compliance with the Uniform Assessment Collection Act.

(c)

Notwithstanding the above, if the proposed stormwater charge for any parcel of developed property exceeds the maximum amount established in the final stormwater resolution or the last annual stormwater resolution or if a stormwater charge is imposed against property not previously subject thereto, the council shall provide notice to the owner of such property in accordance with sections 21-126 and 21-127 hereof and conduct a public hearing prior to adoption of the annual stormwater resolution. Failure to adopt an annual stormwater resolution during the budget adoption process for a fiscal year may be cured at any time.
