A. Reimbursement Fee: The methodology used to establish or modify the reimbursement fee must consider the cost of then existing facilities including, without limitation, design, financing and construction costs, prior contributions by then existing users, gifts or grants from federal or state government or private persons, the value of unused capacity available to future system users or the cost of existing facilities, rate making principles employed to finance publicly owned capital improvements, and other relevant factors identified by the city council. The methodology must promote the objective of future systems users contributing no more than an equitable share of the cost of then existing facilities.
B. Improvement Fee: The methodology used to establish or modify the improvement fee must demonstrate consideration of the projected cost of the qualified capital improvements that are needed to increase the capacity of the system to which the fee is related and the need for increased capacity in the system to which the fee is related that will be required to serve the demands placed on the system by future users. The improvement fee must also be calculated to obtain the cost of capital improvements for the projected need for available system capacity for future users. (Ord. 629, 2-4-2004)
