§ 17-123. Initial stormwater assessment resolution.

The initial proceeding for imposition of a stormwater assessment shall be the board's adoption of an initial stormwater assessment resolution. The initial stormwater assessment resolution shall:

(1)

Describe the stormwater improvement or stormwater management service proposed for funding from the proceeds of the stormwater assessments;

(2)

Estimate the capital cost or stormwater service cost;

(3)

If required, allocate the stormwater management service cost among stormwater management service cost components and identify the required stormwater management service areas;

(4)

Describe with particularity the proposed method of apportioning the capital cost or stormwater service cost among the parcels of property located within the stormwater improvement area or stormwater service area, as applicable, such that the owner of any parcel of property can objectively determine the amount of the stormwater assessment, based upon its value, use or physical characteristics; and

(5)

Include specific legislative findings that recognize the equity provided by the apportionment methodology and specific legislative findings that recognize the special benefit provided by the stormwater improvement or stormwater management service. At its option, the board may adopt separate initial stormwater assessment resolutions for the stormwater service assessment and each stormwater improvement assessment.
