City Council is taking a pause on voting to fund the second phase of a study that would lead to a stormwater fee expected to collect about $1 million a year from Statesboro residents, businesses and owners of other properties.The fee would fund a new, separate stormwater department and drainage improvements all over town.Last May, City Council approved a $74,125 contract for Ecological Planning Group, based in Savannah, to do the first phase of a study updating the city’s wastewater management plan. Tuesday, EPG owner Courtney Reich brought the council a report on the first phase and proposal for the second, which would cost $75,870.The second phase would include further work to establish the fee and billing system. A timeline in the report suggests that council would vote in December to establish the fee.
