Storm Water Services Fee Credit Revisions
|
|
Some private properties in Mecklenburg County provide stormwater control devices such as detention basins or ponds that reduce flooding and water quality impacts associated with stormwater runoff. These devices enable property owners to reduce their stormwater fee.
Staff has worked on a proposal to revise the Fee Credit Methodology. A number of suggestions were received at the February 9 public meeting and the February 16 Storm Water Advisory Committee (SWAC) meeting. Some of these suggestions and proposals included grandfathering of fee credits, a contract to guarantee a fee credit for a period of years, giving ‘extra’ credit to incentivize retrofits, and others.
City and County staff are continuing to evaluate these suggestions. A final staff recommendation to SWAC will NOT occur at their March 15 meeting. Additionally, involvement by City Council and the Board of County Commissioners will NOT occur as part of the FY13 budget discussions as conveyed originally.
For questions about this process, contact:
Daryl Hammock, City of Charlotte, dhammock@charlottenc.gov or
David Goode, Mecklenburg County, David.Goode@mecklenburgcountync.gov
