Resident questions stormwater fees; city administrator cites ordinance basis
Summary
A resident asked why stormwater fees apply to rural-feeling properties inside Kechi; City Administrator Matt Jensby answered the fees are charged per ordinance because drainage flows into city-maintained ditches.
A resident asked the council why they are charged stormwater fees despite living on a more rural parcel within Kechi city limits. City Administrator Matt Jensby replied the fee is charged "per ordinance" and said drainage from such properties ultimately flows into ditches the city maintains, which supports the charge.
The minutes record the exchange as a request for explanation and a staff response citing the cityrather than parcel-levelresponsibility for drainage infrastructure. No vote or policy change was recorded at the meeting; the comment was logged under council reports/discussion.
