DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
OF THE CITY OF SAN BEIllWIDINO
STAFF REPORT
SeverlWater/Refuse Charae Rebate Proaram
On December 2, 1991 the Community Development Commission approved the
Sewer/Water Refuse Charge Rebate Program and appropriated approximately
$146,000 from its low/moderate income housing fund to finance said
program.
Briefly, the program viII rebate to eligible households (those
households at or below fifty percent (50%) of the median income)
increases approved in 1991 for sewer, water and refuse charges. The
program is to be administered by the Finance and Water Departments and
funded by the Development Department. Based upon the City's experience
with the Utility Users' Tax Exemption Program, staff feels the $146,000
will cover the first year's rebates.
Because the program as implemented will be city-wide in nature, mutual
benefit resolutions are necessary to facilitate the use of twenty
percent (20%) set-aside housing funds within and without all existing
redevelopment project areas.
Based upon the foregoing, staff recommends adoption of the attached
resolutions.
