Howard Pafford, Water Utilities Superintendent
Drainage Utility/City of Coppell
In previous conversations, I have informed you that Public Works
Administration had budgeted for the funding of a Drainage Utility
Study in the F.Y. 1991-92 budget. City Council approved $45,000.00
to fund this study this year.
In speaking with the Public Works Director, we have determined that
this project is related to Engineering and therefore should be
handled by the City's Engineering Department. As you are aware,
recent legislation has allowed municipalities to set up drainage
utilities to fund drainage studies, drainage improvements and storm
water management programs.
The funds appropriated in this years budget should adequately fund
a study that would include coming forward to Council with a
recommendation for setting up the drainage utility in the City.
The document produced by this study would also include the terms
and conditions for assessment and collection of the drainage
utility surcharges/fees.
It will probably be necessary to schedule a meeting to discuss the
transfer of this project.
If you wish to try to schedule a meeting or you have any questions
regarding this matter, please advise.
