(A) The storm water management program is established and the storm water system is provided to protect the waterways and land in the City of Hopkinsville by managing flooding and to benefit the natural environment. The cost of designing, developing, improving, operating, maintaining and monitoring the storm water system required in the City of Hopkinsville should, therefore, be allocated, to the extent as practicable, to all property based on the impact on the storm water system. In order to provide revenue to fund those costs and to fairly allocate those costs, a Storm Water Management Fund (“the Fund”) is established.
(B) All revenues collected from the storm water management fee from grants, permit fees and other charges collected under the Chapter, shall be deposited into the Fund. The City Council may make additional appropriations to the Fund. All disbursements from the Fund shall be for the purposes of the Fund as set forth.
