Title
Resolution to Approve Fiscal Year 2017 Fee Adjustment for Public Services Area and to Authorize Amendments to Existing Development Agreements
Memorandum
Attached for your consideration and approval is a resolution approving an adjustment to the FY 2017 fee schedule for the Public Services Area - Systems Planning Unit to include a base payment in-lieu amount for sanitary sewer flow mitigation.
The City's Developer Offset Mitigation Program requires developments to mitigate the new flow that is being added by the development to the City's sanitary system. The recent amendment to section 2:42.5 of Chapter 28 of City Code allows the ability for developments to have an option of making a payment to the City in lieu of performing sanitary flow mitigation. Payment will be used by the City to fund sanitary sewer wet weather capacity improvement projects. The proposed fee schedule adjustment establishes the base payment in-lieu amount for this option.
The proposed amount for payment in lieu is $3,000.00 per a gallon per minute of new peak sanitary flow being added to the system. The amount is based on the average cost of wet weather flow removal performed by the City in the past.
This resolution also authorizes amendments to existing development agreements when necessary to allow for the payment in lieu option consistent with the amendment to City Code;
