BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
The City adopted a series of ordinances in 1995 establishing stormwater improvement districts for
watersheds within the City. These districts are based on studies prepared by the City Engineer for
improvements required to be undertaken as development occurs to accommodate regional stormwater
management. The stormwater impact fees for Otsego Creek, North Mississippi and Lefebvre Creek
currently collected for development within these watersheds is based on these studies. Studies for the
other watersheds established by the 1995 ordinances may be undertaken in the future.
