ITEM 401
REQUEST: The Public Works Department - Stormwater Division requests the City Commission
adopt the Second 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 Sprin2s 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"),. . .
CONSIDERATIONS:
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. This was needed due to the unanticipated financial
commitments required for the removal of debris from the creeks created by the hurricanes.
Staff worked with CPR Engineers to complete an expedited review of the plan and
anticipated expenses. A copy of the update was provided with the agenda for First reading of
the ordinance. The 5 year revenues and expenses projection and 5 year CIP are attached. As
can be seen, 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 ordinance was advertised on May 12, 2005. The effective date language has been
changed to reflect the increase will be effective with cycle 1 which bills on June 14th.
The capital project expenses have been segregated into the following categories:

vehicles/equipment, safety/maintenance improvements, flood protection, water quality
improvements, system improvements/upgrades, and system renewal/replacement.
The graph below provides a comparison of the rate for surrounding governments.
Even after the increase, Winter Springs is in the middle of the comparative rates.
