RPV Storm Drain User Fee

Postby pvchat1 on Tue Sep 04, 2007 7:43 am

I don't think anybody would argue that many of the storm drains running through Rancho Palos Verdes are under-sized and/or in bad shape. To pay for repairs a city user fee was voted on back in 2005 by residents, passing by only a slim margin. The controversy continues this November with two measures on the ballot.

Measure C
Shall an ordinance be adopted that would amend the City's existing Storm Drain User Fee (which provides a dedicated funding source to repair, reconstruct and maintain the citywide storm drain system and install filtration devices that reduce polluted runoff and protect coastal water quality) by: (1) shortening the duration of the Fee from thirty years to ten years and (2) establishing a resident oversight committee?

Measure D
Shall an ordinance be adopted that would repeal the City's existing Storm Drain User Fee?

Get informed and vote!
