Drainage Rate Restructure Proposal

 Existing drainage rate structure is based on room

count and gross area

 This is not the most equitable billing calculation

 Restructured rate is based on each parcel's

impervious area (hardened surfaces such as concrete, rooftop, etc.)

 Industry standard  Charge reflects each parcel’s impact on the storm

drainage system

 Fair and equitable
