SUMMARY
In 1990, the City established the Telegraph Canyon Drainage Fee by City Council Ordinance 2384 to fund the necessary improvements for the Telegraph Canyon Drainage Channel. Many of the improvements have been completed. However, due to changes in design standards and regulatory environment, certain improvements could not be completed as originally planned. As a result, City staff commissioned a nexus study to identify how the facilities could be built to accomplish the purpose for which the Drainage Fee was originally established.

This amendment will not affect the drainage fee which is currently $4,579 per acre.
