Councilmember Oddie inquired whether the monies will be put toward the Stormwater fund. The Public Works Director responded there is a new fund called the Clean Water and Flood Protection fund which will receive revenue. Councilmember Oddie inquired the purpose of the fund. The Public Works Director responded the existing stormwater fee has been flat for more than fifteen years because there had been no cost escalator or CPI increase to apply; stated the fee was not originally designed to capture the capital improvements of the stormwater system nor climate change and sea level rise. Councilmember Oddie inquired whether no payment is required if the fee is protested, to which the Public Works Director responded in the negative.
