State Sen. Dan Laughlin of Millcreek Township, R-49th Dist., made the announcement on Monday.
City Council rejected Mayor Joe Schember's stormwater fee proposal by a 4-3 vote. Schember said he will bring the issue back to the panel in 2022.
Four of City Council's seven members say they plan to vote in favor of the new fee, which is on the panel's Wednesday meeting agenda.
The fee increases would collectively generate roughly $1.45 million in additional revenue for the city.
The 175-officer Erie Bureau of Police would use money to hire 21 more officers, with focus on juvenile crime, crisis services and community outreach.
