RESOLUTION NO. 74-130
STORM SEWER ASSESSMENT POLICY
WHEREAS, the City of Plymouth on the 6th day of August, 1973, adopted
a Comprehensive Storm Drainage Plan, dated March, 1973 which plan identifies
the major storm drainage districts and sub -districts of the City of Ply-
mouth, and
WHEREAS, the construction of storm sewers within these C'istricts are
undertaken from time to time in accordance with the Comprehensive Storm
Drainage Plan, and
WHEREAS, the cost of such construction is deemed to be recoverable
solely from the area benefitting from the improvement project,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF PLYMOUTH: that the policy of the Council of the City of Plymouth
is that the City shall not normally participate in the financing of storm
sewer projects within the City, providing however, that the Council may
from time to time levy on an ad valorem basis such funds as it deems re-
quired to pay for minor projects or other related costs which will be sub-
sequently assessed to the benefitting properties,
AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Manager shall in his annual budget
to the Council identify any storm sewer projects for which he recommends an
ad valorem levy, and further that an administrative procedure be established
whereby this policy can be implemented so that these ad valorem levies can
be used for front-end costs of a small project which could be reimbursed when
a larger project is undertaken.
AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that on Municipal State Aid (MSA) projects
requiring storm sewer construction, that portion of the storm sewer construc-
tion attributable to state aid construction shall be financed out of M.S.A.
funds when such funds are available.
