(a) Qualified property owners may receive a one hundred (100) percent grant for the cost of the connection fee resulting from a project or from connection to an existing public sanitary sewer. This grant shall not include the cost of any sump pump or sewage ejector. All payments of connection fee costs by the urban county government are subject to an annual appropriation by the urban county council of the funds to make such payments, and neither the establishment of this program nor participation in the program shall constitute a contract between the urban county government and any qualified property owner for other than the fiscal year for which funds are appropriated to make connection fee payments. In the event funds are not appropriated for any given fiscal year, property owners will be required to pay the connection fee cost for that year.
(b) Any person who has previously received either the partial connection fee grant authorized by this article or the connection fee loan authorized by this article shall be entitled in lieu thereof to receive the one hundred (100) percent grant authorized in subsection (a). The commissioner of finance shall reimburse to any such person the sum he or she paid to the urban county government under either of the programs. All mortgages and promissory notes executed pursuant to the connection fee loan program shall be destroyed.
