Stormwater drainage fee revenue, budgeted at $1.4 million, is generated by the assessment of a
monthly fee on all developed properties within the City. Funds collected through the monthly
billings provide much needed drainage maintenance, repair and construction activities related to
storm drainage facilities. The revenue collected from the Stormwater Drainage Utility can only be
spent on drainage related issues. For owners of single-family residential properties, the fee is $4
per month. Apartments and all commercial and non-residential properties are billed a fee based
upon the size of their land area, taking into account the existing impervious area of the land. An
evaluation has been made for each property in order to determine the appropriate charge.

Recreation and camping fees are budgeted at $2.9 million and are derived from activities on
approximately 770 acres of parkland surrounding Lake Grapevine and leased from the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers. Revenue in this category was severely impacted by flooding at the
Vineyards campground in the spring of 2015 and again in the spring of 2019. Repairs were
completed in late 2019 and the facility, while closed during the height of the pandemic, is
projected to be fully operational in in FY21.
