PUBLIC HEARINGS City of Santa Rosa Regular Meeting Minutes Page 7 of 22 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes - Final August 23, 2022 15.1 PUBLIC HEARING - PLACEMENT OF ANNUAL STORM WATER ENTERPRISE CHARGES ON THE SONOMA COUNTY PROPERTY TAX ROLL - MANNER OF COLLECTION BACKGROUND: The City of Santa Rosa is 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 is 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, adopted in 1996, which levied the annual charges. The amount of the annual charges of the Storm Water Enterprise for fiscal year 2022-23 were adopted by the Santa Rosa City Council on June 21, 2022. This action only considers the manner which the annual charges will be collected and not the amount of the fee. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by Santa Rosa Water that the Council, by resolution, adopt by 2/3 vote the Storm Water Enterprise Charge Report and approve 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 do not meet the County minimum of $10 and/or parcel owner contact information is known to be incorrect.
