That Chapter 8, Section 6.K., Code of Ordinances, City

(10), which said sub - section shall read as follows:
(10) Oversize Mains
(a) Size of Mains
All wastewater mains shall be installed in
accordance with the Master Water and Sewer Plan
as adopted and amended from time to time by the
City. All mains shall be sized to provide
adequate service to the tract to be developed.
The cost of wastewater mains up to eight (8)
inches, or of a size required to serve a tract
being developed, whichever is larger, shall be
paid in full by the developer.
(b) Oversize -- On -Site Mains
Where it is determined that an on -site main
needs to be of a larger size than that required
to serve the tract to be developed, the City
may require the developer to install such
oversized main. For mains up to twelve (12)
inches the developer shall be reimbursed the
incremental cost difference required for
oversizing from the oversize account described
in paragraph (d) below. For oversized mains in
excess of twelve (12) inches the developer will
be reimbursed for the incremental cost differ-
ence required for oversizing from funds
approved for Capital Improvement Projects or
through reimbursement contracts. All reimburse-
ment contracts shall contain a provision
terminating the City's obligation to reimburse
costs after five (5) years from the effective
date of the contract.
(c) Oversize -- Approach Mains
Where it is determined that an approach main
needs to be of a larger size than that required
to serve the tract being developed, the City
may require the developer to install such
oversized main. Subject to review by the
Planning and Zoning Commission and approval by
the City Council, the City may reimburse the
developer for the incremental cost difference
required for the oversizing of approach mains.
Upon Council approval, the reimbursement for
mains up to twelve (12) inches will be paid out
of the oversize account described in paragraph
(d) below. For oversized mains in excess of
twelve (12) inches the developer will be
reimbursed for the incremental cost difference
required for oversizing from funds approved for
Capital Improvement Projects or through
reimbursement contracts. All reimbursement
contracts shall contain a provision terminating
the City's obligation to reimburse costs after
five (5) years from the effective date of the
contract.
(d) Oversize Account
(g)
A special oversize account is hereby estab-
lished for the purpose of reimbursing
developers for the cost of oversizing waste-
water mains. The account shall be funded by a
fee based on the number of living unit
equivalents (LUE fee) to be added to the
wastewater system. The LUE fee will be accessed
to all developers regardless of whether or not
they are required to install an oversized line.
The LUE fee shall be collected upon final plat
approval, or in the event a plat is not
required, when application is made for a
building permit. Interest income earned from
this account shall be added to the account.
(e) Reimbursement
The reimbursement for the cost of oversizing
will be made from available funds within ten
(10) days after the utilities are accepted by
the City. In the event that sufficient funds
are not available, interest will accrue at a
rate established by the Council. In the event
two or more utility systems are accepted at the
same Council meeting, the respective developers
shall share proportionally in the available
funds.
(f) Oversize Credit
In the event that there are sufficient funds in
the oversize account to meet all previous
commitments, a developer may be entitled to a
credit against the LUE fee. Subject to the
foregoing, a developer may reduce the amount of
the LUE fee by an amount equal to the reimburse-
ment to which he will be entitled upon utility
acceptance. In the event that the utility
system has not been completed and accepted by
the City within three (3) years from the date
of plat approval, the LUE fee shall be
immediately due and payable.
Determining LUE fee, Reimbursement Rate and
Interest Rate
Each December, or more frequently if necessary,
the City Council shall review and approve the
LUE fee, a fixed rate of reimbursement per inch
- 2 -
of diameter per linear foot of oversized mains
installed, and the rate of interest to be paid.
(h) Fees, Reimbursement Rate and Interest Rate
(i) LUE fee $100.00
(ii) Reimbursement rate
$2 60 per inch
of diameter
per linear
foot of over-
sized main
