DISCUSSION
The CSA 152 Program is necessary to help fund the costs of t he storm water management services as required by the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit for the discharge of storm water runoff into municipally owned drainage facilities for pollution control from benefiting parcels. Requireme nts of the NPDES permit are: public education, material disposal and recycling programs, spill prevention and clean -up programs, illegal dumping controls, illicit connection controls, storm drain inspections, and street and storm drain maintenance.
There has been neither federal nor state monies allocated to local agencies to address these requirements. The County of Riverside formed CSA 152 as a means to partially recover NPDES program costs through property assessments.
On December 21, 1993, the City of M oreno Valley, along with several other Riverside County cities, was annexed into CSA 152. The purpose of the annexation was to provide the City with a funding mechanism for the federally and state mandated storm water clean-up programs.
On February 22, 1994 the City executed the original Agreement for the CSA 152 Program.
The Agreement stipulated responsibilities of each party as well as associated costs for County of Riverside services.
The current Agreement expires in July of this year . The new proposed Agreement stipulates responsibilities of the City and County for program administration as well as establishing a five-year expiration term with two (2) two-year renewal options.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Approve and authorize the recommended actions as presented in this staff report.
Staff recommends this alternative to provide continued NPDES program funding from CSA 152.
2. Do not approve and authorize the recommended actions as presented in this staff report. Staff does not recommend this alternative; this alternative will interrupt NPDES program funding from CSA 152.
FISCAL IMPACT
The recommended action will meet the County of Riverside’s request and assist in funding the NPDES storm water programs. Approval of the Agreement will ensure that the City continues to receive its legally authorized funds from this source.
The CSA 152 levy collected from property owners support current NPDES permit programs and reduce the level of General Fund support necessary to remain in compliance with unfunded federal mandates, as administered by the state. The projected CSA 152 Program Budget for FY 2025/26 is estimated to be $708,050. Funds collected from the CSA 152 annual levy are restricted for use only within the Storm Water Management Program.
