An open house on changes to stormwater fees in Kansas City, Kansas, will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 25, at the Neighborhood Resource Center, 4953 State Ave., Kansas City, Kansas.
It is one of four open houses scheduled on the topic of stormwater fees.
The Unified Government is studying changes in the stormwater fee, and is seeking public comments. The current stormwater fee structure is to charge $4.50 per month to all users, without regard to the size of the property.
The proposed stormwater fee charges more for larger properties. The new fee does not change the $4.50 monthly fee for the majority of residential property owners in Kansas City, Kansas, during the first year of the fee. The new fees are based on the size of hard surfaces on the property, which generates runoff.
The other open house dates include Oct. 9, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Patricia “Diane” Kane Community Center, 3130 N.122nd; Oct. 23, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Joe E. Amayo Argentine Community Center, 2810 Metropolitan; Nov. 6, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Beatrice L. Lee Community Center, 1310 N. 10th St.
