Authorization
REQUEST: The Public Works Department - Stormwater Division requests the City Commission hold a
Public Hearing for First Reading of Ordinance 2005-15 increasing the monthly
Stormwater Utility Rate from $3.25 to $5.50
PURPOSE: The purpose of this request is to provide the necessary increase in the stormwater fee to
adequately fund the operations, engineering, and special projects divisions of the
Stormwater Utility Division.
APPLICABLE LAW AND PUBLIC POLICY
Winter Sorin2s Section 19-164(a) The stormwater management utility fee shall be adopted from time to
time by ordinance of the City Commission (the "rate ordinance"),.. .
CONSIDERA nONS:
The City Commission directed staff on March 14, 2005 to update the stormwater
master plan to evaluate the rate increase necessary to fund the operations and capital
improvements of the Stormwater Utility Division. TItis was needed due to the
unanticipated financial commitments required for the removal of debris from the creeks
created by the hurricanes.
Staff worked with CPH Engineers to complete an expedited review of the plan and
anticipated expenses. A copy of the update is attached along with a 5 year revenues and
expenses projection and 5 year CIP. As can be seen in Table B of the report, the fee
needed to support the operating, engineering, capital and special project expenses and
maintain a fund balance consistent with City policy is $5.50 per month per ERU
(Equivalent Residential Unit). The current fee is $3.25 which was set in 2002.
The capital project expenses have been segregated into the following categories:

SUMMARY
The purpose of this report is to provide an update to the 1993 Winter Springs Stormwater
Master Plan with the specific objective to identify the completion of projects described end
identified in the 1993 Plan and to identify and describe new projects that require attention for the
future. This Update also describes the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) program of which the City of Winter Springs is a party. We have included a copy of the
NPOeS permit. Appendix A, and a more detailed description of the NPDES process herein.
Now that the Stonnwater NPDES progrem is fuHy functional, the next step will be the creation of
standards to aid in the cleanup of stormwater systems and receiving water bodies. FDEP and
SJRWMD are wor1dng on establishing TMDl (Total Maximum Daity Load) standards for water
bodies in the Central Rorida area. Once these TMOl standards have been set, governmental
entities will be tasked with implementing upstream water quality improvements to enable the
eventual cleanup of the receMng water body.
This report includes a discussion of: 1} the completed projects; 2} new/proposed projects; 3)
operation and maintenance costs; 4) requirements for participation in CountylSJRWMD basin
study(ies); 5) opinion of probable construction cost for the improvements; 6} routine
maintenance; and 7} participation in other studies/activities. Based on the gathered data and
analysis, we have identified a 5-year/1G-year Capftallmprovement Plan (CIP) shown in tabular
fom herein.
I. GENERAL DRAINAGE DATA
The City of Winter Springe lies within three-~mary drainige basins served by SoldierS Creek,
Gee Creek and Howell Creek. all of which extend well beyond the City Iimlls and are identified
and described fuJly in the 1993 Plan.
Readily available infol1Tlstionldata pertinent to this update was collected, reviewed and
assimilated to adequately define and describe the changes to drainage systems which
encompass the City of Winter Springs. Resources included previous stonnwater studies,
existing City maps and drainage system inventory, aerial photographs, existing City 5 and 10
year CIP's, City maintained ponds, routine City maintenance, and any new Information
regarding reported historical flood problems. This data was utilized to identify existing drainage
City of Winter Springs Stormwater Master Plan Update
Page 1
facilities and summarize drainage facility defICiencies identified in previous studies and/or
identified by City staff (1993 - current).
After stormwater drainage facility deficiencies were evaluated and prioritized,. Improvement
alternatiVes for each of the deficiencies were evaluated and selected tor prioritized
recommendation. COnsidering the existing fadlity l.O.S. and potential flooding severity as well
as several other factors including potential flood reduction, estimated probable capital
improvements costs, program implementation, permitting requirements, water quality impacts
and aesthetic value, a Capital Improvements Plan has been developed for a total planning
period of 10 yea"'.
II. STORMWATER MASTER PLAN ELEMENTS
Ooeratlon and Maintenance
We have estimated the future costs of operation and maintenance based on historical City-wide
stormwater operation and maintenance costs. The program includes routine cleaning of the
primary and secondary stormwater facilities for sediments, trash. and debris. Generally, higher
levels of maintenance and operation service offer a cost effective method of providing a
functional stonnwater drainage system and a means to meet future TMOL standards.
Stonnwater Drainage SYStem Database And MaDDina
Additional financial investment is continuously .required to further_develop.Jhe City's stonnwater
drainage system database as changes and additions occur for development and capital
improvements. The resulting databaselmapping must accurately depict what actually exists in
the field as to material. size, location and elevation to be used effectively. Further
database/mapping development would improve the ability to locate and efficiently operate and
maintain facilities and provide more accurate data for engineering drainage analysis.
land/DrainaGe Easement Reauirements
It is anticipated, as the stonnwater program evolves, that additional land will be desired by the
City for additional drainage easements and retention/detention sites where none exist or
City of Winter Springs Stormwater' Master Plan Update
Page 2
improvements are required for TMOL goals. The exact land required and the areas where they
are needed can only be detennined after the TMDLs are established and further studies are
made as to corrective actions (if any) needed to restore the receiving water bodies. This may be
accomplished as much as possible by donation or developer contribution or by establishment of
prescriptive rights. However, the City may need to supplement the costs of additional land
acquisitions especially on retrofIt projects. These costs are not included at this time because the
projects are unknown. A description is provided herein to forewarn the City of the impending
impact of the TMDL standards.
Maior CaDitallmDFOvemenls Plan
The Capital Improvements Plan (CIP), Table A, attempts to recognize the needs of the various
improvements and arrange them in a sequenced, phased implementation program that has
some reasonable relationship with the City's ability to fund an overall stormwater program. The
capital improvements for City drainage facilities are prioritized by year based on the need for the
capital project(s} and the projected available annual funding. The Capilallmprovements Plan
has been subdivided into a 5-year (five separate yea"') and 10-year (5-year aggregate)
planning periods as approximate completion goals for the improvements.
From the 1993 Study, the projects shown in the table entnled "1 Year Major Capital
Improvement Plan- have been completed or re-evaluated. Items 4 and 5, North Orlando
Ranchlands (No Name Creek), have been moved to the 10-Year CIP because of wetlandslland
acquisition issues. It has been determined that these projects pose no imminent danger to the
area for "coding and have been. lowered in the priority scale. The projects previously shown in
the table entitled "5- Year Major Capital Improvement Plan- have been completed with the
exception of: 1) Item 7, North Orlando Ranchlands (No Name Creek), has been moved for the
same reason as Items 4 and 5 above; and 2) Item 6, Little Lake Howell Creek Culverts, was
cteaned and there have been no problems with flooding in this area since the cleaning. The item
is under constant watch and evaluation by the City. The projects shown in the table entitled "10-
Year Major capital Improvement Plan- have been completed with the exception of; 1) Item 14,
Howell Branch Creek Tuscawilla Units 11B and 12A. was deemed not necessary after other
work in this area was completed; 2) Item 16, HaNell Branch Creek Tuscawilla Golf Course, was
cleaned and there have been no problems with noodlng in this area since the cleaning. The
area remains under constant watch and evaluation by the City; 3) Item 17, Shepard Road
Cfty of Winter Springs Stonnwater Master Plan Update
Page 3
Bridge, was cleaned and will remain on the CIP for heavy maintenance on a periodic basis of 10
to 15 years; 4) Item 18, Sheoah Circle Underdrains, was removed from the CIP since it is not a
drainage issue. The projects shown in the table entitled ~1()"Year Heavy Maintenance
Improvement Plan- have been completed with the exception of: 1} Item 1, Little Lake Howell
Creek, was re-prioritized and has been placed on the new CIP for 5-10 years. Some of the
projects in the &10 Year Heavy Maintenance Improvement Plan- such as the dredging under
bridges, need to be repeated again as time has taken its course and the areas require heavy
maintenance again after 10 to 12 years since the last maintenance. This has been included
under the CIP under the tnle "Creek Dredging et Bridges".
Minor Renewal/Replacement hnorovements
Continuing annual renewal and replacement improvements on a system-wide basis is required
in addition to the major capital improvements p!an. These improvements might include repair of
minor stormwater deficiencies not included as a major capital improvement, but commonly
occur throughout the system.
Additional EngineerinG StudieslParticioation in Joint 5bJdles
We recommend that the City develop a new Storrnwaier Master Plan upon completion of the
TMOL standards for affected water bodies in the City of Winter Springs. Once the water quality
parameters are known, the City can move ahead with plans and designs to decrease pollution
and enhance the water quality of the receiving water. Many areas of Winter Springs were
completed before stormwater treatment for water quality was required. Therefore, some of these
areas may require system retrofits.
In addition, we recommend that the City participate in joint studieslplanning for the areaslbasins
that sffect the City of Winter Springs. The City cen obtain lerge amounts of data and infonnation
tor a pro-rated cost. if the City was to pursue a major basin study on their own, they would
possible be limited on available access to records/information from other jurisdictions and the
cost would be high to obtain overall information when the City only requires information for their
piece of the watershed. For example, the City is a party to the SJRWMD Howell Creek Basin
Watershed Management Plan. This study is currently in the initial stages of scope determination
and RFQ advertisement An estimated cost of participation has been provided to the City by
City of Wmter Springs Stomlwater Master Plan Update
Page 4
SJRWMD. other such studies may occur over time and the City should definitely participate in
those that affect the streams flowing through Winter Springs, such as Gee Creek and Howell
Creek. The City may also participate in studies where the end discharge is into Lake Jesup such
as on the east side and the north.
Government Policies
The City should consider updating the Comprehensive Plan and Code of Ordinance. This
update should consider the implementation of the NPDES stormwater program and the future
TMDL standards and should be completed after the effects of the TMDLs have been evaluated.
EPAlNPDES Designation
As noted in the 1993 Master Pmn, it was indicated that the entire Seminole County area would
eventuaHy be designated by the EPA as a Phase I entity based on urbanized population over
100~OOO persons. A Phase I entity was the first group of urban areas required by EPA to comply
with the Stormwater NPOES program. EPA moved forward with this designation for Seminole
County in 1998. Winter Springs was included in the designation and could either ~go it alone- or
combine with the County. The City determined it to be In their best interest to be a part of a joint
permit with Seminole County. By joining with the County, issues such as water quality
monitoring and testing, multi-jurisdictional boundary issues, public education and coordination
WIth the Stale and EPA were simplified. Nso, by joining WIth the County, the overall cost
impacts were reduced. The City has been participating in the NPOES program for approximately
6 years. The first phase of the program which consists of data gathering and analysis has been
compaeted. They are now moving forward with the next phase which involves quantification of
removal mechanisms and programs. The entity is responsible for analyzing the effectiveness of
the implemented programs and reporting to the FOEPJEPA.
TMDL Program
The Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Program is a federally required water quality program
that will be administered by the Rorida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) under
the Florida Watershed Restoration Act (section 403.067, Florida Statues).
City of Winter Springs Stormwater Master Plan Update
P-"
Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act (33 United States Code) requires states to identify
impaired waters and the pollutants causing the water quality impairment. The state must then
establish a TMDL for each identified pollutant. Though these federal requirements were enacted
in the ear1y 1970's, they were not implemented in most states until citizen and environmental
groups filed a number of successful lawsuits in the mid-1990's.
In Florida, OEP prepared a planning list in 1998 of potentially impaired waters (the 1998 303(d)
list) and submitted the list to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In 1999, the
settlement of a lawsuit in Florida against the EPA by EarthJustice resulted in a consent decree
that established a thirteen-year schedule for EPA to complete the TMDLs for certain waters on
Florida's planning list.
Later in 1999. the Florida legislature passed the Florida Watershed Restoration Act.
establishing the framework and requirements for Implementing a state TMDL Program. The Act
directed OEP to adopt by rule (the "Impaired Surface W-. Rule") a scientific methodology to
determine whether a water body is indeed -impaired- and required DEP to adopt TMOLe by rule.
The TMDL program is anticipated to be incorporated with the current NPOES program. The
TMOl program win establish water quality targets or pollutant load limits that indicate how much
of a pollutant level can go into a recejying water body. TMOl's may have a significant impact on
the City's stormwater program. The greatest impact of this program will be the costs to
implement the requirements of this program. Most existing stormwater programs have generally
addressed new development. However, the TMDL program Will address both new and existing
developments. This may require the retrofitting of existing systems or the installation of new
systems in areas where none currently exist. In addition to impacts to the stormwater facilities.
the TMOl program may impact all other discharges, whether direct or indirect discharges, to
receiving water bodies in the State of Florida. These include, but are not limited to, direct and
indirect discharges from wastewater treatment plants. Indirect wastewater discharges Include
reclaimed water systems and percolations ponds. other indirect discharge may include
individual septic tank systems.
As a result of the TMDl rules and regulations, the City's Land Development Regulations may
need to be modified in order to comply with the requirements. In addition, new development
may be limited or more stringent storrnwater water quality requirements imposed if the receiving
City of Winter Springs Stonnwater Master Plan Update
Page 6
water bodies are at their limits and not able to handle any additional loading. The program may
allow credits and/or bartering where water quality goals are exceeded in one area, but less in
another within the same basin. The City will need to continually monitor the situation and adjust
their budget accordingly.
Annual Stonnwater Master Plan Funding Reauirements
A rough near future annual budget of $1,031,602 has been established for FY 200512006 to
accomplish the above-described comprehensive stormwater program and is presented in Table

Stonnwater Master Plan Fundino Alternatives
The following discussion is based on FY 200412005 and FY 200512006 data. Estimated annual
revenues based upon the current utility rate Indicate approximately $570,000 is available on an
annual basis from stormwater utility rates at $3.25/ERU, the remainder of funds are from
interfund transfers and accrued interest. Based upon Droiected annual budget demands of over
$1,000,000 as summarized in Table B, it appears that the estimated annual revenues generated
by the existina Stonnwater Management utility fee will not be sufficient to support the projected
annual budget for the 1Q-Year Planning Period.
The following alternatives are available to the City to increase funding to an acceptable level:
1. Increase revenues from the existing Stormwater Management Utility.
2. Introduce anellor continue one or more additional funding source(s) such as revenue
bond, grant, lntel10cal agreement to reduce and/or share costs, and State RevoMng
Fund (SRF),
see Item 5 of "RECOMMENDATIONS' for the recommended chang.. to the funding program
to complete the projects described herein, maintain the system and meet current regutations.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The following recommendations are made based upon analysis and evaluations completed for
this study:
1. The enhanced operation and maintenance (0 & M) program should be continued
for the existing stormwater system. The program includes routine cleaning of the
primary and secondary systems for sediments. trash, or debris at locations
throughout the City.
2. It is recommended that the City continue to develop its stormwater database/mapping to
provide the most accurate and complete drainage aUas of all stormwater facilities
available within the City's jurisdiction.
City of Winter Springs Stormwater Master Plan Update
Page 10
3. The following items have been identified and appear appropriate for consideration
and/or imptementation.
A. Land and Orainaae Utility Easement Acauisitions - Stormwater
improvements generally include land/drainage easement acquisitions in
order to provide capital improvements. As opportunities arise to obtain
property or easements, the City should remain proactive and acquire the
properties even if for future use.
B. Detailed Drainaoe Study of Additional Orainaae Collection Systems - The City
may consider it appropriate to further study in detail certain drainage collection
systems upstream of the primary and secondary systems and participate in joint
drainage stuc:ly efforts. Refinement of previous study results in the primalY
drainage systems will be needed once more detailed watershed infonnation
becomes available through continuing efforts by the County, the Water
Management Disbict, and the City's own information gathering.
c. Financial Feasibilitv - There are several funding alternatives available to the City,
including increased stormwater management utility revenues, general fund
additions to the stonnwater fund, bonding, grants, interlocal agreements to share
costs and SRF funding. These various options are recommended for further
study and possible implementation. The Stale Revolving Fund (SRF), a low
interest rate program by FDEP, now covers stonnwater capital projects and can
be used as a funding source. SRF funds may be quite useful to fund any capital
projects to meet TMOl standards. The City has been recently successful in
obtaining grant funds for stormwater improvements on the north end of
TuskaWllla Road. This funding was provided the Natural Resources Conservation
Service (NRCS) and was related to the hunicanes of 2004. Like all grant
programs, this was a one time event and cannot be relied on for Mure funding.
However, it illustrates that the City should always be open and aware of new
available funding sources and implement actions to obtain these funds.
4. It is recommended the City imP'ement the proposed Capitallmprovemenls Plan.
City of Winter SprlRg6 stonnwater Master Plan Update
Page 11
5. Estimated costs associated with the improvements are preliminary. Further refinement of
the capital costs and funding sources may be necessary upon completion of additional
preliminary engineering studies and final engineering data collection/documentation
phases. Based upon the evaluation completed and reported herein, it is recommended
that the City increase funding by increasing the Utility user rate fee from the current rate
of $3.251month per ERU to $5.5OImonth per ERU as an initial step to meet the
requirements of the program.
The City of Winter Springs should be complimented for their forethought in preparing and
implementing this Stonnwater Master Plan Update. The Stormwater Master Plan is an example of responsible commitment to progressive City planning and water resources management.
