In October 2009, the Town’s En
gineering firm, DLZ, provided the Storm Water Master Plan following reviews of surveys, prior storm water issues and open house meetings in order to identify and determine areas in need of storm water drainage improvements. DLZ identified a total of $4,509,000 of needed storm water projects of various sizes throughout the town.
An annual operational and waterway/storm water maintenance budget was developed with the input of DLZ, the Town’s financial consultant, Umbaugh and Associates as well as the Clerk-Treasurers office indicating a total combined budget of $229,800. The annual waterway/storm water maintenance budget is estimated at $194,000. No additional office employees are to be added and limited overhead expenses for the production and processing of approximately 12,000 bills per year have been included.
In November 2009, an initial rate review was provided by Umbaugh & Associates indicating a range of proposed fees from $8.54 to $22.50 per month per ERU (equivalent residential unit). The initial proposed fee rates would have completed all of the capital improvements identified by DLZ over a varying period of time.
In January 2010, a second rate review completed by Umbaugh & Associates reducing the scope completing only minor annual storm water/waterway drainage improvements and none of the medium or large capital projects. The monthly fee was calculated at $6.02.
Following numerous discussions by the Storm Water Board it was determined that the storm water rate would be set at $6.00, the Storm Water Rate Ordinance was adopted by the Winfield Town Council on November 16, 2010.
