Analysis:
Per Chapter 14.54 Sewer Service User Charge of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code (HBMC), the Sewer Service Fund shall be subject to an annual review and performance audit by the Public Works Commission.
On September 4, 2001, the Huntington Beach City Council adopted a Sewer Service User Charge and established the Sewer Service Fund per HBMC Section 14.54.050 Sewer Service Fund. Pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Section 5470 et seq., the City of Huntington Beach (City) is authorized to adopt fees and charges for the acquisition, construction, reconstruction, maintenance, and operation of sewerage facilities.
The Sewer Service Fund is an enterprise fund that provides for the operations, maintenance and capital needs of the City’s sanitary sewer system. The funds come from user fees charged to residents and businesses and are restricted for these uses. Fees are set in accordance with Proposition 218, which was enacted in 1996 to ensure that rates and fees are reasonable and proportional to the cost of providing service.
The information presented in this report complies with the requirements outlined in Section 14.54.070 Annual Program Review of the HBMC.
