(A) The utility service charges provided for in this chapter are imposed on each and every lot and parcel of land within the city, and the owner thereof, and are deemed reasonable and necessary to pay for the repair, replacement, planning, improvement, operation, regulation, and maintenance of the existing and future stormwater system. The utility service charges shall be established so as to maintain adequate fund reserves to provide for reasonable expected variations in the collection of utility service charges, in the cost of providing services, and in the demand for services.
(B) Subsequent to the initial establishment of utility service charges pursuant to this chapter, the Director in each odd-numbered year shall prepare a utility report with recommended utility service charges. This report shall contain data utilized in the determination of the recommended utility service charges and shall be presented to the Council on or before October 1 of each odd-numbered year for referral to the appropriate committee. The committee shall make a recommendation to Council on or before October 15 of each odd numbered year concerning the utility service charges to become effective for a two-year period beginning January 1 of each even numbered year.
(C) The Director shall biennially notify, in conjunction with the billing process, all persons subject to these charges of the utility service charge being charged.
