PUBLIC HEARINGS Public Hearing matters will begin no earlier than 5:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as the matters are reached on the agenda. 14.1 PUBLIC HEARING - PLACEMENT OF THE ANNUAL STORM WATER ENTERPRISE CHARGES ON THE SONOMA COUNTY PROPERTY TAX ROLL BACKGROUND: The City of Santa Rosa was required under the federal Clean Water Act to obtain and comply with a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) and Waste Discharge Requirements for Discharges from the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (Storm Water Permit). To comply with permit requirements and to control and reduce flooding, property damage, erosion, and storm water quality degradation in the City, the Council, in 1996, added Title 16 to the City Code, which created a Storm Water Enterprise and Utility (“Storm Water Enterprise”) as an agency of the City. Under Title 16, the City Council was authorized to prescribe and collect charges (special assessments) for the services and facilities of the enterprise. The Council’s intention to collect the Storm Water Enterprise charges on the Sonoma County Property Tax Roll was stated in Resolution 22880, which levied the annual charges. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Departments of Water and Finance that Council, by 2/3 vote, pass a resolution, adopting the Storm Water Enterprise Charge Report and approving placement of the Storm Water Enterprise charges on the Sonoma County Property Tax Roll to be collected by the Sonoma County Assessor - Controller - Treasurer - Tax Collector at the same time and in the same manner as Sonoma County property taxes are collected. City of Santa Rosa Regular Meeting Agenda and Summary Report Page 8 of 9 City Council AUGUST 16, 2016 Attachments Staff Report Resolution Presentation Public Hearing Notice 14.2 PUBLIC HEARING - SANTA ROSA FIRE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL WEED ABATEMENT PROGRAM REPORT BACKGROUND: Santa Rosa City Code section Chapter 9.08 requires a public hearing to hear objections to the cost of weeds and/or rubbish abatement.
