Agenda Text
The Board is requested to receive a follow-up presentation on the development of a County Stormwater Utility. At the October 7, 2019 Work Session, County Staff and its consultant team presented an update on the Planning and Implementation of a County Stormwater Utility. During the session, Commissioners provided feedback on the methodology to date and identified three areas in which they desired more clarity and perhaps a new approach to the utility’s development and implementation. Those three areas were public education, rate structure, and a crediting system. County Staff and its consultant team have developed a scope to further evaluate these areas, as well as a schedule by which to complete this work in order to provide Commissioners with the requested information allowing them to provide direction on the path forward. This presentation will provide additional information on the follow-up items as well as the proposed approach and its associated costs.
