RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Ordinance No. /fp I 0 increasing the Planned Local Drainage Area Fees by 25.0%.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Section 20.09.040 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code provides for certain drainage fees
per acre to be paid for subdivisions for the purpose of defraying the cost of re-
moving storm water. These fees were originally calculated in January 1980 and
placed in the Code.
Section 20.09.070 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code provides that the fees shall be
adjusted each June and December and the adjustment shall be based on the Engineer-
ing News Record Construction Cost Index. This index for January 1980 for the City
of Los Angeles (the closest comparison) was 3630.12 and for November 1981 it is
4538.59, an increase of 25.0%.
This results in the new drainage area fees per acre as shown below:

The fees shown above are per gross acre of the development. The words "per gross
acre" were left out of Section 20.09.040 of the Code and the attached ordinance
will correct this.
The first fee adjustment under the Code was to be accomplished in June 1981 and was
inadvertently omitted. The next adjustment will be presented to Council in June
1982 and will cover the change in the index from November 1981 to May 1982.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This increase will result in an increase to developers of 25.0% in drainage fees.
It will also keep these fees close to current cost so that, when the systems are
constructed by the City, the money will be available to cover the cost.
EXHIBITS:
A. Ordinance No. /(p fQ which increases the drainage area fees by 25.0%.

gross acreage to the centerline of streets abutting the property in question and
