The city council shall, by written agreement, authorize the Regents of the University of California, the Trustees of the California State University System, the Butte County Superintendent of Schools, any school district, and any other state agency to connect premises owned or used by them and located within the incorporated territory of the city or located in that portion of the unincorporated territory of the county of Butte within the Chico Sphere of Influence to the sewer system in consideration of the payment of a negotiated sewer system capacity fee, which negotiated sewer system capacity fee shall be in lieu of the payment of any water pollution control plant capacity fee, trunkline capacity fee, lift station capacity fee, sewer main installation fee, or sewer lateral installation fee hereinafter provided for by this chapter. Such fee shall be negotiated with such public agency in a manner provided for in Chapter 13, Part 1, Division 2, Title 5 of the California Government Code, commencing with Section 54999, as amended, shall be based on the same objective criteria and methodology established by this chapter for determining the water pollution control plant capacity fee, trunkline capacity fee, lift station capacity fee, sewer main installation fee, and sewer lateral installation fee assessed and levied upon other owners of premises connecting to the sewer system, and shall be in an amount which does not exceed the public agency's proportionate share of the cost of the sewer system facilities of benefit to the premises being served by such facilities. This section, however, shall not relieve a public agency connecting premises to the sewer system from complying with any other provisions of this chapter relating to premises connected or being connected to the sewer system save and except for those provisions relating to the imposition of a water pollution control plant capacity fee, trunkline capacity fee, lift station capacity fee, sewer main installation fee, and/or sewer lateral installation fee.
