Council asks for stormwater financial breakdown as drainage projects proceed
Summary
Council sought clarity on how stormwater fees are used, whether funds are doubled up for streets and curb work, and asked staff to provide a financial report detailing collections, loans and payments for stormwater services; staff said street sweeping is paid from the stormwater fund but curbs and gutters are separate.
Council members discussed stormwater project schedules and the program’s finances. Councilman Carney asked for a financial report showing how much is collected from residential and business customers, whether the stormwater funds are being used for roads or solely for drainage and what loans or payment commitments exist; he cited a figure of roughly "$2,100,000" being spent on stormwater functions in the current budget.
Staff responded that street sweeping charges come from the stormwater fund but that curbs and gutters are not charged out of the same line items; staff agreed to provide the requested financial breakdown and to clarify how stormwater maintenance, vegetation control and drainage work are budgeted and tracked relative to street capital projects.
