Proposed Drainage Assessment
Background: The City of Mt Shasta currently charges property owners a flat fee of $1.00 per month to help pay for the replacement of failing drainage infrastructure, an amount that is woefully inadequate.
To determine a fair rate for property owners to pay that will allow the City to start funding the replacement of failing infrastructure, the City contracted with a company titled Raftellis to perform a study employing specific methodology that assesses the percentage of impervious surface per eligible parcel within the City’s boundaries. The City Council will review the rate study and vote whether to approve its findings. Council will also discuss and approve the Notice of Public Hearing and ballot to be mailed to property owners.
Report By: Todd Juhasz, City Manager
Recommended Council Action: Staff recommends the following:
Approve the revised Stormwater Drainage Impact Fee Report; 2) Direct staff to mail a notice of public hearing which requires a 45-day public comment period.
assessment
Background: at the January 8th Council Meeting, it was agreed that the City would seek to purchase the structure located at 402 N. Mt Shasta Blvd as well as the two unpaved parcels located at the rear of the building. After talking to the owner, he may have a potential long-term lessee for the structure. While the owner determines whether the lease option for the structure is viable, he has offered to lease the two unpaved APNs at the rear of the structure for six months. During this period, the City will have the property appraised and will perform environmental due diligence on the unpaved lots. The owner has agreed to lease these two lots for $900 a month for the six-month period.
Report By: Todd Juhasz, City Manager
Recommended Council Action: The City Manager recommends paying the outstanding lease for two APNs while the City performs environmental due diligence on the two properties for six months. The purpose is to see if the properties are worth purchasing at an appraised value to meet City planning/redevelopment goals.
