Subject to the provisions of this article, there is hereby imposed on each and every
developed lot or parcel of land within the city and the owners thereof a stormwater
drainage utility fee. This fee is deemed reasonable and is necessary to pay for the
operation, maintenance, administration and capital improvements of the existing city
stormwater drainage facilities and the operation, maintenance, administration and
capital improvements of such future stormwater drainage facilities as may be established
within the city and to pay for the design, right-of-way acquisition and construction
or reconstruction of stormwater drainage facilities to the extent that such costs
have been determined to be the responsibility of developed properties. All of the
proceeds of this fee are deemed to be in payment for use of the city stormwater drainage
system. The fee and assessment method shall be adopted by resolution.
