Ross Holloway- EDU storm water presentation- The Town of Mooresville has a flat fee on every property for stood water regardless of impervious surface. According to Umbaugh's report using EDU'S is quite common in Indiana. Many communities have credits for certain activities expl: education credit, Brownsburg School has a credit. Maintenance and expansion are expenses to the storm water. Bonding is allowed for storm water projects. Town employees can do capital projects. Council President Mark Mathis said he was under the impression if it is a utility you can't exempt. Ross answered this is a fee not a tax. The fee in Martinsville is $2.25. Most communities have a maximum fee. Everybody contributes to the storm water. The Department of Local Government Finance keeps cutting the revenue,but yet storm water is a state mandate. Councilman Langley asked if it makes sense to make a budget. Ross said Umbaugh will be helping with the rate study and budget.
