The Unified Government Commission is scheduled to discuss two stormwater fee proposals at the 7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 2, meeting.
One of the proposals would include one fee for residents and five tiers for nonresidential customers. The second proposal would be calculated individually based on the square footage of hard surfaces of the property, such as parking lots, sidewalks and driveways.
