SUBJECT: title
Ordinance Proposing the Establishment of a Special Service Area Number #175 Marmion Campus - Abbey Farms, Kane County, in the City of Aurora and Providing for a Public Hearing and Other Procedures in Connection Therewith
..body
PURPOSE:
To establish a dormant Special Service Area in accordance with the City's storm water control ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
The City's storm water control ordinance which was mandated by the counties' ordinance requires that a special service area be set up to maintain all storm water control facilities in the event that the owner thereof fails to do so.
DISCUSSION:
Dormant SSA's are a mechanism by which the City can tax owner's of property for maintenance of storm water control facilities in the event the owners do not maintain them. This action is mandated by the City's storm water control ordinance. The SSA would be set up, however, it would not levy a tax unless, and until, required by failure of the owner's to maintain the storm water control facility.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
Failure of property owners to maintain the storm water control facilities would require the City to proceed to establish an active SSA vs. dormant SSA.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Place on Finance Committee Calendar (813/13 Agenda) for approval to City Council.
