[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town Council of
the Town of Franklin 12-19-2018 by Bylaw Amendment 18-828, effective 1-1-2019.[1] Amendments noted where applicable.]
[1]
Editor's Note: This enactment also repealed former Ch. 82,
Fees, adopted 12-21-2016 by Bylaw Amendment 16-776, as amended.
It shall be the policy of the Town of Franklin to provide service
fee rates that best estimate and reflect the cost to the Town of providing
service.
All fees must be paid within 30 days of receipt. Late payments
will be charged 14% interest per annum from the due date and the license
or permit will be held in abeyance until fee and penalties are paid
in full.
Service fees shall be charged triple the permit or license fee
rate for activity begun before first obtaining a permit or license
within the time required by the applicable code. Service fees are
not a substitute for any other enforcement remedy available to the
Town and in no way limit or preclude the Town from pursuing such other
available remedies.
Under the Community Assistance Program, qualifying residents
are eligible to receive discounted rates for certain Town services.
Participating Town departments shall establish application and eligibility
verification processes using tax returns as verification of income,
dependents or other information to verify eligibility. The program
is available to residential households for the following Town services:
A.
Water, sewer and trash discount credits. Residential water, sewer
and trash customers are eligible to receive a 20% credit, per quarter,
on their water, sewer and trash bills. Where a bill has been issued
prior to an eligibility determination, no abatement will be made unless
the amount to be abated amounts to $10 or more. Discounts are not
eligible on penalties for late payment.
B.
Beaver Street Recycling Center annual sticker waiver. Residents may
receive a waiver of the annual sticker for the Beaver Street Recycling
Center. Waivers are not granted for individual items being recycled
within the Recycling Center.
C.
Recreation Department program discount. Residents of Franklin are
eligible for up to a 100% discount on registration or program fees
for qualifying residents who meet certain income eligibility guidelines.
D.
Ambulance
billing hardship. Residents of Franklin who meet eligibility guidelines
as promulgated by the Fire Chief to demonstrate economic hardship
may receive a discount or waiver on an ambulance service fee.
[Added 2-12-2020 by Bylaw Amendment 20-852]
Definitions: As used in this section, the following terms shall
have the meanings indicated:
Fee charged to allow continuation of new sewer connections
or increases in existing connections to the sewer system. Funds raised
through this fee shall be dedicated to the sewer fund, to be used
to assist in the removal of inflow and infiltration from the sewer
system. Said fee shall be in addition to any applicable sewer entry,
connection or main tap fees. Existing single-family residential structures
or existing sewer system users, for which building permits were issued
prior to October 24, 2001, shall be exempt from this sewer inflow/infiltration
removal fee. Fees for users proposing to increase their flow, whether
through increased discharge from the existing use or a change in use
shall be calculated on the basis of the increased discharge amount,
provided the existing use had not been inactive for more than two
years prior to the date of the sewer permit application. Said fee
shall be based on average daily flow capacity used, as calculated
in accordance with Title V of the State Sanitary Code guidelines.
Fee charged to extend the sewer main from the Town sewer
distribution system. The fee is designed to recover the Town's cost
of labor to inspect sewer line installations, engineering review and
the application process. The fee shall not cover materials or labor
to tap the sewer main, which shall be the cost and responsibility
of the owner to arrange with a private contractor; the Town will not
provide such services. This fee is in addition to the required sewer
service connection fee for individual services. Such a fee shall be
payable prior to the time of issuance of a building permit or application
for services, if a building permit is not required.
Fee charged to upgrade or replace an existing service. The
fee is designed to recover the expenses for the Town to process the
application, perform the engineering reviews, and inspect the sewer
service installation. This fee is in addition to the cost of materials
or labor to install sewer lines and tap the sewer main, which shall
be the cost and responsibility of the owner to arrange with a private
contractor; the Town will not provide such services. The fee shall
be payable at the time of issuance of renewal.
Fee charged to recover the Town's share of the costs of building
replacement capacity at the sewage treatment plant, as well as the
lines and pump stations leading to the plant which are necessitated
by the new user's connection to the system. The fee shall be placed
in the Town's sewer enterprise fund for construction, operating and
equipment costs to improve, maintain and develop the municipal wastewater
system capacity. Such fee shall be payable for each new service at
time of issuance of a building permit. Any person who is legally responsible
for paying a betterment assessment for the extension of sewer to their
property shall be credited the amount of the paid or to be paid assessment
towards the sewer system entry fee, up to but not exceeding the full
amount of this fee.
Fee charged for availability of water capacity to sprinkler
systems, standpipes and private fire hydrants within commercial or
industrial properties.
Fee charged to extend the water main from the Town water
distribution system. The fee is designed to recover the Town's cost
of labor to inspect waterline installations, engineering review and
the application process. The fee shall not cover materials or labor
to tap the main, which shall be the cost and responsibility of the
owner to arrange with a private contractor; the Town will not provide
such services. This fee is in addition to the required water service
connection fee for individual services. Such a fee shall be payable
prior to the time of issuance of a building permit or application
for services, if a permit is not required.
Fee charged to reconnect after service has been disconnected
for nonpayment of bill within 60 days of issue.
Fee charged to upgrade or replace an existing service. The
fee is designed to recover the expenses for the Town to process the

and water meter installation. This fee is in addition to the cost
of materials or labor to install waterlines and tap the water main,
which shall be the cost and responsibility of the owner to arrange
with a private contractor; the Town will not provide such services.
The fee shall be payable at the time of issuance of renewal.
Fee charged for capital improvements necessitated by connecting
a new user to the water system. The fee shall be deposited in the
Town's water enterprise fund for construction, operating and equipment
costs to make improvements to the municipal water supply system including
water mains. Such fee shall be payable for each new service at time
of issuance of a building permit.
