Next was the public hearing on the storm water fee program. The State Legislature mandated the unfunded program with the passing of Rule 13. The operating budget is approximately $165,000 a year. The current fee of$1.50 funds one third of this amount and general budget has been offsetting a good portion of the total budget. Councilman Langley reported the students who came before the council saying a lot of work has to be done on the storm water and money is needed to accomplish this. The money that is used now is for operating and doesn't include money for,work to be done throughout the year. He said he was in favor of a raise of$.75 this year and one year from now another raise $35. The town is prohibited to operate a utility at a profit and had to do a study to justify any increase and that has been done. Jeff Allen from the audience thought the total funding should be done at one time. Council president Goodwin told him we had a positive balance in the storm water fee fund at this time and the council did not want to hit the users with a full increase all at once. Attorney Currens stated the town was approaching the need and had to adjust accordingly. There were no other questions from the audience. Councilman Clark made a motion to increase storm water user fee to $2.25 immediately and in one calendar year increase another $35 to bring the fee to $3.00. Councilman Langley seconded the motion and motion carried 3-0. Kevin O'Farell, Relay for Life, did not appear.
