ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION SETTING FRONT
FOOTAGE CHARGES FOR SEWER LINES
&- DEPT. HD. 1\11
ClTYMG .a
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No.6fK0Fixing a Front Foot Charge for Connecting
to Sewer Mains.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The City Code provides for payment of a front footage fee for connection
to existing sewer lines. The fee is applicable only to properties
which have not contributed to the construction of the existing line.
Funds collected will either be reimbursed to the actual builder of the
sewer facilities or will be deposited in the Sewer Construction Fund.
In order to implement the front footage charges, the City must adopt
resolutions which set the fees. On March 3, 1981, the Council adopted
water pipeline fees, but no front foot charge for sewer lines has ever
been adopted.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The majority of sewer lines are constructed by developers and benefit
only their subdivisions. Most water and sewer lines extended outside
subdivisions carry reimbursement agreements for which the City collects
a fee and refunds it to the developer. The few sewer lines to which
this fee will apply will probably generate less than $10,000 a year for
the Sewer Construction Fund.
EXH I BITS:
Resolution No.6850 Fixing Front Foot Charge for Connecting to Sewer
Mains.
CITY MANAGER COMMENT:
This proposal eliminates the "free ride" that some lot owners
now receive. The resolution will require a charge of $13.00
per foot for connection to a City sewer for any developer who
has not otherwise shared in the cost of the sewer.
