SUMMARY
The current Salt Creek Sewer Basin Development Impact Fee (DIF) plan was prepared in 2004 (2004 DIF). Since that time, the City has had changes in planned development and wastewater flow projections. This 2015 Salt Creek Sewer Basin Development Impact Fee Update accounts for said impacts within the Salt Creek basin.
The "2015 Salt Creek Sewer Basin Development Impact Study" (2015 DIF), conducted on behalf of the City by Bartle Wells Associates and Infrastructure Engineering Corporation, ensures that a) fees are fairly and equitably distributed among the remaining properties within the benefit area; b) sufficient funding is available to complete the required improvements; and c) updated fund balance and land use projections are reflected in the program.
The 2015 DIF recommends maintaining the sewer fee at its current level of $1,330 per equivalent dwelling unit (EDU). With this action, the City Council will consider:
(i) Accepting the 2015 DIF;
(ii) Modifying the DIF as recommended in the 2015 DIF.
The public hearing has been duly noticed.
