Title
Resolution directing staff to prepare an amendment to the Stormwater Management System User Charge ordinance relative to providing a credit to stormwater fees for municipal users who's overall impact on the system is beneficial to the stormwater management system.
Body
WHEREAS, it is proposed that a credit from the stormwater fee be applied for properties providing significant benefits to the City's overall stormwater management system; and,
WHEREAS, West Allis has many storm sewers that discharge onto Milwaukee County property, benefiting the City significantly; and,
WHEREAS, since Milwaukee County is benefiting the City, it has been recommended that staff prepare the necessary modifications to ordinances that will allow for the crediting of fees for Milwaukee County, and,
WHEREAS, the city has a number of stormwater sewers on land now owned by Milwaukee County where there are no current easements providing for the maintenance and repairs of these city stormwater sewers, and
WHEREAS, staff is directed to also seek from Milwaukee County all necessary stormwater easements needed by West Allis and request Milwaukee County to provide these easements at no cost or fees.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Director of Public Works/City Engineer is hereby authorized and directed to prepare an amendment to the Stormwater Management System User Charge ordinance and other related documents.
