Conservation District and thirteen East Bay cities, to implement
the Alameda County Urban Runoff Clean Water Program (ACURCWP),
and approve Alameda's share of the program; and
WHEREAS, on October 16, 1991, the California Regional
Water Quality Control Board, San Francisco Bay Region, issued a
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit to
the ACURCWP participants to implement "A Storm Water Management
Plan"; and
WHEREAS, the City Council, at the May 5, 1992 City
Council meeting, authorized and adopted Ordinance No. 2605,
adopting a Storm Water Management and Discharge Control Program;
and
WHEREAS, the City Council, at the May 5, 1992 City
Council meeting adopted Resolution No. 12243, adopting Storm
Water Utility Fees; and
WHEREAS, the program costs for Alameda's compliance
with the NPDES Permit have exceeded those assumed when the
original fees were established; and
WHEREAS, raising the Storm Water Utility fee by $3.00
per Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU) for each of the next three
years and the annually adjusted fee by the Consumer Price Index
(CPI) through FY 2000/01 would accumulate the minimum costs

for the Program and permit cost, and each city in Alameda County
is responsible for funding its portion of the program and permit
costs;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the

Storm Water Utility fee by $3.00 per Equivalent Residential Unit
(ERU) (as detailed in Exhibit A attached hereto) each year for
the next three years, and then annually adjust the fee by the
Consumer Price Index (CPI) until FY 2000/01, allowing the City to
perform Capital Improvement Projects related to the Storm
Drainage System.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Manager is
authorized and directed to enter into all necessary agreements
for the issuing of Certificates of Participation, an amount not
to exceed $1,000,000 to cover the 1995/96 deficit (as detailed in
Exhibit A, Attachment A-1, attached hereto), in the City Storm
Water Management and Discharge Control Program.
EXHIBIT A
Storm Water Management and Discharge Control Program service charges shall be computed in
accordance with the following formula, schedule and rates:
A. An Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU) is the basic unit for computation of storm
drainage fees for residential and nonresidential customers. All single - family
residential and small - multiple residential (4 units maximum) are considered to have
an ERU of one (1) which represents a standard 5,000 square foot parcel with 40
percent of its area having impervious surfaces such as roofs, sidewalk and
driveway. The average impervious area for an ERU, is 2,000 square feet (5,000
square feet x 0.40).
B. All condominium units are considered to have an ERU of 0.30.
C. All other properties will have ERU's computed to the nearest one hundredth (1 /100)
ERU using the following formula:
1. No. of ERU = Impervious Area (Square Feet)
2,000 Square Feet
2. Land Use Impervious Area %
(% of Gross Area)
Commercial /Industrial 80%
Institutions /Apartments 60%
Vacant Land 20%
3. Minimum Gross Area = 5,000 square feet.
Expressing Total Number of "Equivalent Residential Units" for All Land Uses.
The information about parcel size shown in the table below was collected from the County
Assessor.

III. Estimate of Annual Direct Program Costs per ERU
The costs of the Storm Water Management Program will be spread equally among the
City's total number of ERU's (program costs divided by 32,254). The attached table
illustrates the cost of each component of the program per year to the FY year
2006/07 (Attachment A -1). Note that there is a carry -over balance from the first
two years of the fee (FY 92 -93 and 93 -94).
IV. Calculating Fees for Individual Parcels (Other than Single - Family Residential, Small
Multiple Residential and Condominiums).
To determine the fee it is necessary to multiply the parcel's area by its percent
imperviousness divided by one hundred, divided by 2,000 sq. feet and multiplying by
cost per ERU.
Area x % imperviousness x 1 x cost per ERU = Fee
100 2,000 sq. ft.
Example: The owner of an industrial 40,000 sq. ft. parcel would pay the following:
40,000 sq. ft. x 80 x 1 x $23.00 = $368.00 per year (For FY 95 -96)
100 2,000 sq. ft.
