(LWA) and SCI Consulting Group assisted El Dorado County and other stakeholders with cost of service and development of a Stormwater Financial Strategy to support the implementation of the County's east slope (Tahoe Basin) Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP). These efforts specifically included the following: FInclBbrnlwW,Flnu�ea94v1a8Y Papw< • Analysis of the current El Dorado County Tahoe Basin stormwater program annual expenditures and sources of funding; • Analysis of future stormwaterm�,,, _ program annual costs and sources of funding; I - -- • Estimate of the total costs required to implement the SWMP by program over the permit term; • Identification of the expected funding shortfalls by program element and year as well as a quantitative estimate of the existing and projected resources. The Team developed a comprehensive analysis of current and potential funding sources including property - related fees, assessments, regulatory fees, taxes, and charges. In addition, the Team evaluated non - traditional funding approaches such as user fees and the reorganization of government services to optimize funding for stormwater and pollution abatement services. This included an analysis and recommendations for potentially combining stormwater, wastewaster and refuse collection service fees to generate new revenues without the requirement for a Proposition 218 ballot proceeding. In addition to the above tasks, in which LWA had a lead role, LWA also provided technical review for the following tasks: • Identification of the potential funding sources with an analysis of: • Pros and cons of each source; • Political viability of each source; • Potential legal restrictions; • Future reliability of the source; • Sources that are readily available; and • Estimated amount that each funding source may generate. • Development of draft and final Stormwater Funding Needs and Options document; and • Development of a draft and final Financial Strategy Report.
