7,Z A2 <br />Since the courts have ruled that storm drains and storm water pollution prevention programs do <br />not meet the definition of sewers, ACA 10 has been proposed to clarify that these types of <br />programs are also exempt from Proposition 218 voting requirements. <br />If this constitutional amendment passes, local jurisdictions would be enabled to raise fees to pay <br />for the increasing unfunded State mandates under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination <br />System (NPDES) program. Passage of ACA 10 will enhance the ability of local jurisdictions to <br />fund and operate the type of storm water pollution management programs that were envisioned <br />in the Clean Water Act. <br />Together, these two pieces of legislation represent significant opportunities to enhance the <br />funding of both congestion management and storm water pollution prevention programs. It is <br />therefore recommended that the City Council approve both resolutions, and thus lend its integrity <br />and credibility to the legislation by going on record as supporting both AB 1546 and ACA 10. <br />Alternative <br />1. The City Council could choose not to adopt either of the attached resolutions, and not go on <br />record as supporting AB 1546 and /or ACA 10. <br />Fiscal Impact <br />Adoption of these resolutions will not have an immediate fiscal impact to Redwood City.
