It is the purpose of this chapter to allow a reimbursement connection
fee at the time of connection when the sewer service has been made
available by a private developer prior to the time that the City would
have been able to make the sewer service available. The purpose of
the reimbursement connection fee is to reimburse the person privately
constructing the sewer main which is dedicated to the public and offered
to the City.
(Ord. 2002-05)
A. The
City and the developer may enter into a reimbursement agreement in
which the developer agrees to dedicate the sewer main to the public
and offer the main to the City.
B. Upon
acceptance of the sewer main by the City in accordance with Section
4742.3 of the
Health and Safety Code, the City shall adopt an ordinance
imposing a reimbursement connection fee for connections to that sewer
main. The reimbursement connection fee shall be determined by the
City Engineer and City's administrative manual and shall provide funds
to reimburse the developer for costs of the main which benefit other
property owners which connect to the main. The reimbursement connection
fee shall include a six percent per annum simple interest charge to
partially compensate developer for his/her financing costs. The developer
shall not be reimbursed for his/her fair share of the project costs
(that portion of the improvement costs that directly benefits his
or her development). The City shall return the collected reimbursement
connection fees to the developer, less administration fees and any
other costs or fees, in accordance with the terms of the reimbursement
agreement.
(Ord. 2002-05)
The period over which special connection fees are collected
shall be 20 years.
(Ord. 2002-05)
When a sewer main extension has been installed and a reimbursement
agreement amount has been approved by the City Council, any benefiting
property owner, prior to connection to the sewer main, who has not
either him or herself or through his or her predecessor in interest
contributed toward the cost of such installation, shall pay to the
City, in addition to any sewer connection fees required by this Code
or any other ordinance of the City, the reimbursement connection fee
for such sewer main extension, at the rate provided for by ordinance
of the City Council.
The following sewer reimbursement ordinances have been approved
by the City Council. (Note: All references to "District" or "Cardiff
