The board may establish a cost-recovery system or fee system for the improvement or installation of public flood control systems. The purpose of the fee is to provide a method for offsite improvements necessary in order to mitigate the effect of urbanization and to provide a systematic approach for the construction of public flood control improvements. Whenever such a system is adopted, it shall demonstrate that the fee will in some manner benefit the property owned by the person or entity from which the fee is collected, and that it will be applied equitably to all property in proportion to flood waters generated by urban use of the property. The fees will also be restricted to providing flood control improvements necessary for the allowed use of the properties owned by the person or entity from which the fee is collected, and the fees shall be reasonably related to the actual cost of providing flood control improvements beneficial to the site or surrounding area. The fees will be reviewed by the flood control district advisory committee, prior to action by the board.
