The function of the newly created Stormwater Utility Program within the Service Department is to provide for the safe and efficient capture of stormwater runoff, mitigate the damaging effects of stormwater runoff, correction of stormwater problems; to fund activities of stormwater management, and include design, planning, regulation, education, coordination, construction, operations, maintenance, inspection, and enforcement activities.
It is the express intent of this newly created stormwater utility program, to protect the public health, safety and welfare of people, property, and the environment, in general, but not to create any special duty or relationship with any individual person, or to any special parcel within or outside the boundaries of the city. The city expressly reserves the right to assert all available immunities and defenses in any action seeking to impose monetary damages or equitable remedies upon the city, its elected officials, officers, employees, and agents arising out of any alleged failure or breach of duty or relationship.
