Council approves adoption of flood-control/stormwater utility area fee; staff to return with detailed presentation
Summary
Council voted to approve the adoption of the flood control/stormwater utility area fee but directed staff to schedule a future, full presentation given the item’s complexity and connections with county timelines.
The Walnut Creek City Council approved an item described in the agenda as adoption of the flood-control stormwater utility area fee (agenda item 2C) at the March 18 meeting. Council members voted aye on the motion; the vote was recorded as unanimous.
Council members expressed that the program and funding mechanisms are complex and would benefit from a full presentation. Council member Francois said the topic “is quite complex” and suggested the council schedule the item on an open agenda with a presentation from staff. City Manager Dan Buckscheid and Mayor Cindy Darling said staff will work to find an appropriate future council meeting to present the detailed materials while proceeding with the county timeline that staff said supports taking the approval action now.
The council’s action to adopt the fee did not immediately change the underlying timeline for staff follow-up: staff reported they will bring a full explanatory presentation to the council at a later date and continue required coordination with county processes.
