City proposes stormwater fee rise to $125 per EDU and marina dockage adjustments
Summary
The proposed FY2026 budget includes a stormwater fee increase from $104 to $125 per equivalent dwelling unit and adjustments to marina dockage rates to better align with regional peers and prioritize resident access. Staff said the changes will fund stormwater infrastructure and help the marina be self-supporting.
The finance director told the commission that, as part of the proposed FY2026 budget, the stormwater fee would increase from $104 to $125 per equivalent dwelling unit to support stormwater infrastructure improvements.
"The proposed budget includes an increase in the stormwater rate from $104 to $125 per equivalent dwelling unit," the finance director said, framing the adjustment as a means to ensure the city can address stormwater infrastructure needs. He also described proposed marina dockage increases designed to reflect market conditions and to prioritize access for residents while keeping the marina self-supporting.
Comparisons to neighboring jurisdictions showed the city's updated stormwater rate would be slightly above the median among peers; staff said about $5.73 per thousand square feet per month was the translated rate and that neighboring rates vary widely. Commissioners did not take formal action; staff noted the stormwater fee must appear in the TRIM notice as part of the millage setting process.
