The purpose of this chapter is to establish a mechanism for funding the operation and maintenance of t
he Ccity storm drainage system in order that storm and surface waters may be properly drained and controlled so that the health, safety and welfare of the city and its inhabitants may be safeguarded and protected. [Ord. 21-2003 §§ 2, 4; Ord. 20-2003 §§ 2, 4; SCC 0985 § 1, 1995].

15.10.020 Findings.

The C city Ccouncil hereby finds as follows:

ITEM 11.1.

ATTACHMENT 4

A. The Ccity maintains a system of storm and surface water management facilities within theunincorporated area of the Ccity, including but not limited to inlets, conduits, manholes, channels, ditches, drainage easements, retention and detention basins, infiltration facilities, overland release corridors, pump stations, and other components as well as natural waterways.

B. Those elements of the Ccity’s storm and surface water management system that provide for the collection, storage, treatment, and conveyance of storm drainage are of benefit and provide services to all developed property within the unincorporated area of the Ccity.

C. The cost of operating and maintaining the storm drainage management system, including necessary repairs, should, to the extent practicable, be allocated in relationship to the benefits enjoyed and services received therefrom.

D. E
rosion and the discharge of nutrients, metals, oil, grease, and other substances into and through the storm drainage system is resultsing in a degradation in water quality if not properly managed.

E. The public health, safety and welfare are adversely affected by poor water quality and flooding resulting from inadequate storm drainage management practices.

F. The storm drainage management practices necessary to protect water quality are largely established by federal and state statutes, regulations and permitting requirements.

G. Real property either uses or benefits from the presence and operation of the storm drainage management system.

H. T he use of the storm drainage system is dependent on factors that influence runoff, including land use and impervious area.

I. The Ccity has the authority under Section 5471 o f the Health and Safety Code to prescribe, revise and collect fees, tolls, rates, rentals and other charges for facilities and services furnished by it in connection with its storm drainage system.

J. T he Legislature, through the adoption of Section 5471 of the Health and Safety Code, has specifically authorized the Ccity to provide storm drainage services as a utility function for which service charges may be levied.

ITEM 11.1.

ATTACHMENT 4

K. Storm drainage services are currently provided in the unincorporated area of the city by both the Ccity and the water agency and funded through a combination of property tax revenue and benefit assessments.

L. Property taxes have proven to be an unreliable source of revenue due to the state of California ’s recent proclivity for shifting local property tax revenue from the city and special districts to schools.

M.L. Benefit assessments are an undesirable revenue mechanism because of the significant lag- time between the time that the assessments are approved and the time that they are received as part of the real property tax collection and allocation process. This lag-time creates the need to include a component in the assessment to provide a reserve for dry period financing purposes.

N.M. A fee to fund storm drainage services offers a reliable and consistent source of revenue that is locally controlled and independent of the vagaries of the state of California’s budget process. [Ord. 212003 §§ 2, 4; Ord. 20-2003 §§ 2, 4; SCC 0985 § 1, 1995].

Article I. General Provisions

15.12.010 Findings.

A. The Federal Clean Water Act provides for the regulation and reduction of pollutants discharged into the waters of the United States by extending National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements to storm waterstormwater and urban runoff discharges into the City’s municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) of which the city’s storm sewer system is a designated part. (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “county storm water conveyance system”).

B. The State Water Resources Control Board (“State Water Board”) is the state water pollution control agency for all purposes of the Federal Clean Water Act pursuant to Section 13160 of the California Water Code. The State Water Board is authorized by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to administer the NPDES program within the state. The Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act (Water Code section 13000 et seq.) provides authority for the State NPDES program, including provisions to issue NPDES permits and Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR’s) to regulate discharges of stormwater to the waters of the state.

C. Storm waterStormwater flows from individual properties to the Ccity’s MS4.county storm water conveyance system and then ultimately to the Wwaters of the United States.

DC. The Ccity of Rancho Cordova, the County of Sacramento and the cities of Citrus Heights, Elk Grove, and Folsom, Galt, and Sacramento and the county of Sacramento are subject to the waste discharge requirements of the for the county of Sacramento, cities of Sacramento, Folsom, and Galt Area-Wide Storm Water Discharges from Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems, Sacramento County Order No. 96105, dated May 3, 1996, which also serves as the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit And Waste Discharge Requirements General Permit For Discharges From Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (Order R5-2016-0040, NPDES No. CA0085324) (Municipal Stormwater Permit) 2597 under the Federal Clean Water Act, under which NPDES permit the Ccity and Sacramento County are co-permittees. As co-permittee with Sacramento Countys, the Ccity and county areis required to possess the necessary legal authority, and to ITEM 11.1.

4 implement appropriate procedures, to regulate the entry of pollutants and non-storm waterstormwater discharges into the Ccity’s MS4.county storm water conveyance system.

ED. The Ccity’s county’s Mmunicipal storm waterSstormwater Ppermit requires the cCcity ounty and city effectively to prohibit non-storm waterstormwater discharges from the incorporated area of the city into the MS4.storm water conveyance system, except as otherwise allowed by the permit or permitted by federal law.

The Municipal Stormwater Ppermit and this chapter require regular compliance inspections and enforcement at certain commercial and industrial facilities, as defined by the permit.

FE. The Ccit y Ccouncil finds in this regard that the provisions of this chapter are necessary to provide the county Ccity with the legal authority necessary to implement and otherwise comply with the requirements of its Mmunicipal storm waterSstormwater Ppermit and to protect the waters of the state for the benefit of its people and the environment. [Ord. 41-2004 § 2].

15.12.020 Purpose and intent.

A. This chapter is adopted pursuant to Article XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution, which authorizes the Ccity to exercise its police power to protect and promote the public health, safety, and general welfare. While storm waterstormwater runoff is one step in the natural cycle of water, human activities, including, but not limited to, agriculture, construction, and the operation of an urban infrastructure, may result in undesirable discharges of pollutants and certain sediments. Such discharges may accumulate in local drainage channels and waterways and eventually may eventually be deposited in the wWwaters of the United States. The purpose of this chapter is to protect and enhance the water quality of watercourses, water bodies and wetlands within the Ccity unincorporated area of the county in a manner consistent with the Federal Clean Water Act, the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act, and Municipal Discharge Permit No. CA0082597 and No.CAS0085324, Order R5-2016-0040, together with all subsequent amendments and renewals, by controlling the contribution of urban pollutants to storm waterstormwater runoff which enters the Ccity’s county storm waterstormwater conveyance system.

B. It is the intent of the Ccity Ccouncil in adopting this chapter to provide the Ccity with the legal authority to accomplish the following goals:

1. To benefit the people and environment of the Ccity of Rancho Cordova by protecting water quality in Wwaters of the United States and Waters of the sState;e;

2. TTo reduce the discharge of pollutants in stormwater to the maximum extent practicable;; ITEM 11.1.

ATTACHMENT 4

5. To fully implement the Ccity’s comprehensive annual WorkStormwater Quality Improvement Plans (SQIP) as approved by the Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Water Board);

6. To protect the physical integrity and function of the Ccity’s MS4 from the effects of pollutants and materials other than stormwater;

7. T o prevent the contamination of groundwater as a result of pollution migration from the cityurban stormwater runoff;;

8. To promote cost-effective management and beneficial use of sediments in the city stormwater conveyance system;

89. To protect the health and safety of maintenance personnel and the public who may be exposed to pollutants in the city’s MS4;
910. To provide for the recovery of regulatory costs incurred by the Ccity in the implementation of its comprehensive Stormwater Quality Improvement PlanProgram, including, but not limited to, enforcement activities, compliance assistance, inspections, investigations, sampling, and monitoring; and 101. TTo establish appropriate enforcement procedures and penalties for violations of the provisions of this chapter. [Ord. 41-2004 § 2].

ITEM 11.2.

DATE: August 7, 2023

TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members

FROM: Stacy Leitner, City Clerk

SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING REQUESTING PUBLIC INPUT REGARDING THE

COMPOSITION OF POTENTIAL COUNCIL ELECTION DISTRICTS AS

THE CITY IS WORKING TO TRANSITION FROM AT-LARGE TO

DISTRICT-BASED ELECTIONS FOR CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, AND

DISCUSSION WITH AND POSSIBLE DIRECTION TO STAFF AND

CONSULTANTS REGARDING THE NUMBER OF DISTRICTS

INCLUDING WHETHER OR NOT TO TRANSITION FROM AN

APPOINTED MAYOR TO A DIRECTLY ELECTED MAYOR

RECOMMENDATION

1. To provide education and to receive public input regarding the composition of potential Council election districts as the City is working to transition from at-large to district-based elections for City Council Members pursuant to the California Voting Rights Act (CVRA).

2. Discuss with and provide direction to staff and consultants about the number of districts including whether or not to transition from an appointed Mayor to a directly elected Mayor.

RESULT OF RECOMMENDED ACTION

The presentation will provide education to identify the neighborhoods, other "communities of interest, " and other local factors that should be considered or used as 'building blocks' when the drawing of the draft maps begins. In addition, this hearing will also be the public launch of the City's online districting tool, provided by our district consultant National Demographics Corporation (NDC). The online tool will be available as a link from the City's website.

In addition, the City Council may direct staff and consultants about the number of districts the City would have, including whether or not to transition from an appointed Mayor to a directly elected Mayor.

BACKGROUND

The City Council was elected under an at-large election system, whereby Council Members are elected by voters of the entire City. On July 17, 2023, the Council adopted a Resolution of Intent to work towards transitioning from at-large to district-based elections. Moving to district-based elections would require a Council Member (and all candidates for that position) to reside within a designated district boundary, and each Council Member would be elected only by voters of the

City Council Staff Report - Page 2 of 2
appropriate district.

On July 17, 2023, the Council adopted Resolution 108-2023, declaring the City's intention to move to district-based elections.

As required by Elections Code Section 10010, the City will hold at least two (2) public hearings prior to the release of draft maps of Council election districts. Council will then hold an additional two (2) more public hearings to solicit public input regarding the content of the draft maps and the proposed sequence of elections. Furthermore, the Council may introduce for first reading an ordinance establishing the district boundaries and the district-based election method pursuant to California Government Code Section 34886 and Elections Code Section 10010. At the conclusion of the process, a public hearing will be held for a second reading of the ordinance implementing a Council election district map.

Today's hearing partially fulfills the requirement of California Elections Code Section 10010 that states:" (1) Before drawing a draft map or maps of the proposed boundaries of the districts, the political subdivision shall hold at least two public hearings over a period of no more than 30 days, at which the public is invited to provide input regarding the composition of the districts." The intention of this hearing is to identify the neighborhoods, other "communities of interest," and other local factors that should be considered or used as 'building blocks' when the drawing of draft maps begins. The public is welcome to propose complete districting maps, but it is not required.

This hearing will also be the public launch of the City's online districting tool, provided by our district consultant National Demographics Corporation (NDC). The online tool will be available as a link from the City's website located at: CityofRanchoCordova.org/Districts Number of Districts and Possible Transition to Elected Mayor Early in the process of transitioning to district-based elections, the Council will need to provide direction to staff and consultants on the number of Council districts to be created including whether or not to transition from an appointed Mayor to a directly elected Mayor. The Council currently annually appoints a member of the City Council to serve for one-year as Mayor of the City. Staff would welcome Council input and direction on these topics at this meeting.

FISCAL IMPACT AND FUNDING SOURCE

Neighborhood Elections Now will receive a partial reimbursement, capped at approximately $37,000 if the City complies with the process to transition from at-large to district-based elections.

The City is working with a professional demographer at an estimated cost of $60,000-$80,000 to assist the City with the process of transitioning from at-large to district-based elections.

The City will also incur additional fees for City Attorney time, community meetings, assistance from consultants for public outreach, and staff time.

4 California Voting Rights Act (CVRA)
 Under the Federal Voting Rights Act (passed in 1965), a jurisdiction must fail 4 factual tests before it is in violation of the law.  The California VRA makes it significantly easier for plaintiffs to force jurisdictions into “by-district” election systems by eliminating two of the US Supreme Court Gingles tests:
 Can the protected class constitute the majority of a district?  Does the protected class vote as a bloc?
 Do the voters who are not in the protected class vote in a bloc to defeat the preferred candidates of the protected class?
 Do the “totality of circumstances” indicate race is a factor in elections?  Liability is now determined only by the presence of racially polarized voting August 7, 2023
