This in from the Town's notice folks...
"On November 7, 2007, there will be a public hearing to discuss the enactment of a
stormwater utility fee at the regular meeting of the Oro Valley Town Council. This fee, if enacted, will fund services provided to address both stormwater quality and quantity needs within Oro Valley.
On June 20, 2001, the Oro Valley Town Council adopted the Stormwater UtilityOrdinance which defined stormwater as an enterprise activity within the Department of
Public Works, Article 15-24 of the Oro Valley Town Code. As a part of the Stormwater
Utility Ordinance, a five member Stormwater Utility Commission (SWUC) was
appointed by the Mayor and Council in October 2001 to provide guidance and oversight
to the Utility. The current SWUC, with input from Town Staff, has determined that the present level of funding from the Town's General Fund is insufficient to meet requirements of the Stormwater Utility. Based on this analysis and a review of how other communitiesreceive funding to meet their stormwater requirements, the SWUC has recommended theestablishment of a fee for residential properties, businesses, religious, educational, andnon-profit facilities within Oro Valley.
On Tuesday, October 30, 2007, there will be a public meeting in the Oro Valley
Development Services Building, Hopi room, at 6:00 p.m. This meeting will provide
additional information about why the fee is proposed and allow for discussion of
questions."
