County
SUBJECT: REPORT ON THE FEASIBILITY OF FORMING A CITIZENS ADVISORY
COMMITTEE FOR THE STORMWATER POLLUTION CONTROL PROGRAM TO
EVALUATE THE ASSESSMENTS
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1 . DETERMINE that it is not feasible .to establish a citizens '
advisory committee for the federal National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Regulations and the
Stormwater Utility Assessment which has been imposed to fund
the requirements of those federal Regulations .
2 . REMOVE this item as a referral to our Committee.
BACKGROUND:
On June 22, 1993, the Board of Supervisors adopted an Ordinance
establishing 17 Stormwater Utility Assessments in the 17 Stormwater
Utility Areas . At that time, the Board also asked our Committee to
determine the feasibility of establishing a citizens ' advisory
committee to meet twice a year to evaluate the assessments .
On October 11, 1993, our Committee met with .Don Freitas, the
Stormwater Pollution Control Manager in the Public Works
Department. Mr. Freitas reported that the cities, who control the
vast majority of the stormwater utility assessments, believe that
such a citizens advisory committee is premature at this time.
While the County could establish a citizensadvisory committee
solely for the unincorporated area, this would not address the
assessments for the vast majority of the citizens in the County.
In light of this position by the cities, we agree that it is not
feasible to establish a citizens ' advisory committee for the entire
NPDES Program and that a committee solely for the unincorporated
area of the County would not be effective sinceit could address
issues in only one of the 17 assessment areas .
