Sec. 32-201.04. Funding of Stormwater Management and Residential Resilience Retrofit Program

The source of funding for the Stormwater Management and Residential Resilience Retrofit Program shall be the Stormwater Management District Fund, set forth in Section 10-264 of the County Code.

For Fiscal Year 2014 and for each fiscal year thereafter, the County shall appropriate $3.0 million in Stormwater Management District Funds to the Program, as provided for in the County's approved current expense budget.

If the granting of a rebate would cause the annual appropriation to be exceeded, the rebate shall be granted in the next fiscal year, or fiscal years in the order of eligible applications received.

Up to ten percent (10%) of the $3.0 million appropriation, in each fiscal year maybe expended on technical assistance for managing the Program, educating owners on how to install and maintain their projects, promotional expenses, and other related stormwater management expenses. At least (50%) of the appropriation, in each fiscal year shall be utilized for rebates as described in Section 32-201.03; the remainder may be used to execute a cost-share program as described in Section 32-201.01(b).

Pursuant to Section 10-248.05 of the County Code, at the end of each fiscal year, unexpended funds from the Program shall not automatically lapse into the general fund but shall accumulate within the Stormwater Management District Fund and be available for appropriation to the Stormwater Management District Fund in subsequent fiscal years.
