RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council approve the proposed ordinance initiating the hearing procedure for creating a"backup"special service area for the stormwater management facilities in the Copper Springs Subdivision with the recommended annual tax levy. BACKGROUND In December 2001,the city council adopted by reference the Kane County Stormwater Management Ordinance as the stormwater management ordinance of the city. The stormwater ordinance states that unless the maintenance responsibility for the stormwater drainage system will be accepted by the city,a special service area must be established either as the primary means of providing for the long term maintenance of the facilities or as a backup vehicle in the event the party designated as having primary maintenance responsibility fails to adequately carry out its duties. The stormwater management ordinance requires the developer to consent to the establishment of any such special service area as a condition to the approval of any development application requiring a stormwater management permit. City Staff have estimated the maximum anticipated annual maintenance cost for the stormwater management facilities in the development at$78,000.00.The SSA Tax Law requires the city to make a good faith estimate of the tax rate required to produce a tax to be levied upon all the taxable property within the proposed special service area that is sufficient to cover the expected long-term maintenance costs of the facilities. The proposed annual tax levy necessary to cover the annual Mayor and Members of City Council November 18, 2004 Page 2 maintenance costs has been determined to be 0.60 of the equalized assessed value of the property within the proposed special service area. These figures have been incorporated into the ordinance establishing the hearing to consider the creation of the proposed backup special service area. As provided for within the attached ordinance, a public hearing regarding the proposed special service area is scheduled to occur on January 12, at 7:00 p.m.
