               There is hereby established a Durham County Stormwater Management Utility that shall

               There is hereby established a Durham County Stormwater Management Enterprise Fund
               for the purpose of dedicating and protecting funding applicable to the responsibilities
               of the stormwater management utility including, but not limited to, rents, rates,
               fees, charges, and penalties as may be established after due notice having been given
               and a public hearing held by the board as required by G.S. 153A-277(a1)(1). The hearing
               may be held concurrently with the public hearing on the proposed budget ordinance,
               Funding may also include other funds transferred or allocated to the stormwater management
               utility by the board. All revenues and receipts of the stormwater management utility
               shall be placed in the stormwater management enterprise fund and all expenses of the
               stormwater management utility shall be paid from the stormwater management enterprise
               fund, except that other revenues, receipts, and resources not accounted for in the
               stormwater management enterprise fund may be applied to stormwater management activities
               as deemed appropriate by the board. Provided however, if the board of county commissioners
               elects to fund the required stormwater program from the general fund, an amount estimated
               to have been generated by stormwater fees provided for hereunder shall be determined
               and be deposited in the stormwater management enterprise fund.
