City Council AUGUST 8, 2017
COUNTY PROPERTY TAX ROLL UNLESS THOSE CHARGES DO
NOT MEET THE COUNTY MINIMUM OF $10 AND/OR PARCEL
OWNER CONTACT INFORMATION IS KNOWN TO BE INCORRECT
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 Water Department 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 Auditor-Controller-Treasurer-Tax
Collector at the same time and in the same manner as Sonoma County
property taxes are collected, unless those charges to not meet the
county minimum of $10 and/or parcel owner contact information is
known to be incorrect.
