Motion carried, 4-0.

Storm Water Manager David Parker reported that staff received an application from a resident requesting that the Commission consider pursuing an ordinance revision that would address financial hardship issues.  He reported that currently, there were no provisions in the Storm Water Ordinance for a "hardship exemption".  He explained that only those non-profit and commercial organizations were eligible to submit an application for the Storm Water Fee Credit.

After further deliberation, the Commission directed staff to contract the resident and inform them that there was no mechanism currently in the Ordinance to allow an exemption for special circumstances.

Chair Dunn stated that modifications would not be considered to accommodate for a hardship due to the management issues associated with this request.

 

MOTION: A motion was made by Chair Dunn and seconded by Vice Chair Gardner to direct staff to send a letter to Ms. Anderson informing her that there was no provision for a hardship credit in the current  Storm Water fee ordinance.

Motion carried, 4-0.

David Parker reported that staff reviewed the Casas Church application for the Storm Water Fee Credit.  He explained that the church has met the necessary requirements to allow for the Storm Water Fee Credit and that staff recommended approving the request for the 25% percent reduction.

Discussion followed regarding:

- Casas Church requirement to provide an annual report to identify activity being
  done and staff monitoring the detention basins annually.

- The Storm Water division providing public education brochures to the church
   and Storm Water presentation given at the school.

- Legal advice regarding the fee credit under the current ordinance for 25%
  or 0% percent reduction.  Current ordinance verbiage did not allow sliding
  scale on the fee credit.
