(A) The City Council hereby establishes a policy to extend water and sewer mains and facilities, without an extension agreement from landowners or developers and at the city’s initial expense or 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 City Council and shall set forth subsequent connector fees established by the City Council applicable to such extension, which shall be charged and collected in accordance with this section and the ordinance authorizing the extension to which a subscriber subsequently connects.
(B) City Council hereby authorizes the Department to charge subsequent connector fees, based upon EDUs, as set forth in Ordinance 03-25 to subscribers, both developers and builders, that connect to extensions made under this section and the ordinance authorizing the extension to which the subscriber connects, in addition to other fees and charges collected by the Department. The Department 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 City Council after positive, negative or no recommendation by the department.
(C) Proceeds from subsequent connector fees shall be considered payment toward the cost of construction of the mains and facilities for reimbursement to the city or developer.
(D) Any developer choosing to be reimbursed under this section shall pay to the city an administrative fee of $10 per EDU. Such administrative fee shall be withheld by the city from each monthly payment made to the developer until the city is paid.
(E) The actions of the city staff working under this section are to be deemed in conformity with city policy.
