4. City Council Discussion.
CM Scharber asked on the 2010 expenditures why only $4,000 payment for the Jet Vac.
Finance Director Groen said that was the first interest payment.
CM Darkenwald asked if the 2010 revenue is based on $120,000. City Engineer Wagner
said that the SWPPP annual budget of $50,000 comes out of the general budget and
the Storm Water Capital Improvement and Maintenance (CIM) annual budget of
$70,000 comes out of the Storm Water Fund for the benefiting properties. Finance
Director Groen said the fees are projected the same as 2010. CM Scharber asked
where we calculate these funds. Finance Director Groen said as part of the General
Fund. CM Darkenwald asked who is paying the SWPPP fees. City Planner Licht said
every lot with improved stormwater facilities.
CM Scharber asked where we are spending the $50,000. City Engineer Wagner said the
$50,000 was initially set up with the permit for education, inventory and to get the
program started. City staff was directed to review and detail the costs paid for within
this budget amount and the source of these funds.
Mayor Stockamp said the spring street sweeping should come out of the General Fund.
The City Council agreed.
City Engineer Wagner said he can put together a map on the GIS that shows the
watershed districts and CIM districts so that Public Works Department expenses are
charged appropriately.
The City Council directed City staff to put together watershed district maps and more
information regarding the stormwater maintenance budget and costs paid for by this
fund and bring back to the City Council for review.
