(A) Extension at developer’s expense. The Council hereby establishes a policy to extend sanitary sewer mains and facilities, at a developer’s initial expense, to undeveloped areas in which the city has authority to serve. An agreement for each extension shall be approved by the Council and shall set forth subsequent connector fees established by the Council applicable to such extension, which shall be charged and collected in accordance with this subchapter and the agreement authorizing the extension to which a subscriber subsequently connects.
(B) Subsequent connector fees.
(1) The Council hereby authorizes the tility to charge subsequent connector fees, based upon EDUs, as set forth in this subchapter, to developers that connect to extensions made under this subchapter and the agreement authorizing the extension to which the developer connects, in addition to other fees and charges collected by the utility. Subsequent connector fees shall be set in accordance with the formula set forth below:
(a) The total cost of construction and installation of sanitary sewer system improvements is $ W .
(b) The oversizing cost of the sanitary sewer system improvements paid for by the city is $ X .
(c) Percentage of costs of construction and installation of the sanitary sewer system improvements developer allowed to recover Y% .
(d) Total costs for construction and installation of the sanitary sewer system improvements paid by developer and approved for potential developer recovery ($W - $X) x (Y%) = $Z .
(e) The total number of EDUs for which the sanitary sewer system improvements have the capacity to serve is A .
(f) The number of the sanitary sewer system improvement project’s EDUs attributable to the developer B .
(g) The number of sanitary sewer system improvement project EDUs to be used in calculating the subsequent connector fee A - B = C .
(h) The cost of the sanitary sewer system improvements per EDU is $Z / C = $D , which $D is the subsequent connector fee per EDU for the developer’s sanitary sewer system improvement project.
(2) The utility shall adopt policies that uniformly apply to the collection of the subsequent connector fees. Subsequent connector fees shall not be reduced or waived without approval by the Council after positive, negative or no recommendation by the utility. The utility shall also collect a $10 administrative fee per EDU for processing subsequent connector fees from initial developers, which may be deducted from subsequent connector fee reimbursement payments.
(C) Subsequent connector fee proceeds. Proceeds from subsequent connector fees shall be considered payment toward the cost of construction of the mains and facilities and for reimbursement to the developer.
(D) Administrative fee. Any developer choosing to be reimbursed under this subchapter shall pay to the utility an administrative fee of $10 per EDU. Such administrative fee shall be withheld by the utility from each annual payment made to the developer.
