Council focused on how Wheaton pays for stormwater work, including drainage maintenance, flood-prone area projects, and stream improvements. Staff said the current stormwater fee brings in about $1.7 million a year, while the level needed to fully fund operations and maintenance would be about $11.45 per Equivalent Runoff Unit each month, up from the current $5.30. Council also discussed whether to phase in higher rates and whether to move away from the city’s current pay-as-you-go approach for capital projects. Staff will research fee impacts and bring the issue back for a future planning session.
