All Impact Fees collected during each calendar month will be remitted by the District to the City no later than the 15"' day of the following month. At the same time that the District remits the Impact Fees, the District shall also provide the City with a written report showing the total number of single family units and multi- family units added in the District as of the last day of the previous month. The aforesaid report shall also list the address of all single family and multi -family units.

The City presently has or will obtain adequate wastewater collection, treatment and disposal facilities with which to provide service to the District. Retail wastewater collection service within the District will be provided by the District. The City will be the sole source of wastewater treatment services for the District and the District will not seek to develop its own sanitary treatment capacity or an alternate source of service, except in the event that the City is no longer able to provide wastewater collection, treatment and disposal service as contemplated hereby. 4.02 The City shall charge the District a monthly flat fee for each single family residential connection and for each multi -family unit in the District. The flat fee for single family residential connections shall be calculated by multiplying the volume charge by the Customers Winter Average Usage. The flat fee for multi -family units shall be calculated by multiplying the volume charge by one-half of the Customers Winter Average Usage. The volume charge shall be the charge adopted and amended from time to time by the City Council. The initial volume charge shall be $3.90 per 1,000 gallons provided, however, it is anticipated that the City will be raising its rate to a maximum of $4.43 per 1,000 gallons during 2013. Once the initial connection is made, the foregoing flat fees will be due whether the single-family or multi -family units are occupied or not. The District's Winter Average Usage shall be calculated by taking the District's total water usage during the Winter Averaging Period, and deducting therefrom (i) water used for irrigation purposes and measured by irrigation only water meters, and (ii) water measured by fire hydrant meters. The difference of the aforesaid calculation shall then be divided by the number of months in t1V0581523.11 -4- the Winter Averaging Period to obtain the District's Winter Average Usage. The District's Winter Average Usage shall then be divided by a number equal to the total number of single family residential connections plus one-half of the multi -family units in the District to arrive at the Customers Winter Average Usage. Because there will likely be little usage during the first few years, the Parties agree that until there are at least 500 single family customers, the Customers Winter Average Usage shall be deemed to be the same as the City-wide winter average usage of all single family customers in the City, as determined on an annual basis. The initial Customer Winter Average Usage is deemed to be 6,800 gallons per month, but is subject to change on an annual basis. As set forth above, the initial volume charge is $3.90 per 1,000 gallons with an anticipated increase up to $4.43 per 1,000 gallons during 2013. The initial Customer Winter Average Usage is deemed to be 6,800 gallons per month. Accordingly, the initial monthly flat fee per single-family connection and per multi -family unit (subject to future adjustment as set forth herein) is $26.52 per single-family connection and $18.56 per multi -family unit with an anticipated maximum increase to $30.12 per single-family connection and $21.08 per multi -family unit. 4.03 The District agrees to pay the City in accordance with City Ordinances, to bill users of wastewater treatment services within the District and to set and maintain tax rates and utility rates sufficient to pay the following: For wastewater services provided by the City pursuant to this Agreement. b. For all District operation and maintenance expenses in an amount sufficient enough to meet such expenses as they come due. C. For debt service on any bonds issued by the District in an amount deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors. 4.04 The District agrees to supply the City with a copy of each resolution or order adopted by the District setting wastewater rates within seven days of such adoption. The City agrees to give notice to the District at least 30 days prior to approval of any wholesale rate change in order to allow the District to (i) review and comment upon the proposed change and (ii) adjust its own rates to its customers based on the increase in wholesale costs. 4.05 In order to extend wastewater service to the District, the City and the Developer cost participated in the construction of the McNutt Interceptor in accordance with the terms of the Consent Agreement. The McNutt Interceptor is owned, operated and maintained by the City, subject to tine reservation of 3,975 LUEs of capacity in the McNutt Interceptor for the provision of wastewater service to the District and to Siena MUD No. 2 and the DeveIoper's right to reimbursement from the District for the District's reserved capacity as provided in the Consent Agreement, 4.06 Anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement notwithstanding, the District and Siena Municipal Utility District No. 2 will have the right to transfer LUEs of wastewater service (W0581523. 1) -5- between themselves as may be required for the ultimate development needs of both districts, provided that the maximum amount of wastewater service to both districts may not exceed a maximum of 3,975 LUEs, as provided in the Consent Agreement. The City's consent to any such transfer will not be required, but a copy of the transfer document, which must be in writing and signed by both the transferor district and the transferee district, must be delivered to the City.

The MUD is now starting to develop which prompts the development of a wholesale wastewater agreement with the City of Round Rock because it is located within the City's certified wastewater service area. The MUD is located within the certified water service area of Jonah Water Special Utility District, and Jonah intends to provide retail water service to each customer within the MUD. Jonah has agreed to operate and maintain the MUD's internal wastewater system and to bill and collect monthly retail wastewater fees from the MUD's customers along with Jonah's monthly retail water fees. This Wholesale Wastewater Agreement establishes the process of billing and collection of wastewater fees to be paid to the City. Jonah will collect the wastewater fees for the MUD and the MUD will then reimburse the City for the wholesale wastewater service. The initial volume charge to the MUD customers will be $3.90 per 1,000 gallons with an anticipated increase up to $4.43 per 1,000 gallons during 2013. Staff recommends approval.

All Impact Fees collected during each calendar month will be remitted by the District to the City no later than the 15`" day of the following month. At the same time that the District remits the Impact Fees, the District shall also provide the City with a written report showing the total number of single family units and multi- family units added in the District as of the last day of the previous month. The aforesaid report shall also list the address of all single family and multi -family units.

ARTICLE IV. Wastewater Collection, Treatment and Disposal Services 4.01 The City will collect and transport wastewater generated by customers within the District, not to exceed 2,556 LUES, from the boundaries of the District, through its system, to the System. The exact point or points of delivery of wastewater to the System will be agreed upon by the Director and the District. The City presently has or will obtain adequate wastewater collection, treatment and disposal facilities with which to provide service to the District. Retail wastewater collection service within the District will be provided by the District. The City will be the sole source of wastewater treatment services for the District and the District will not seek to develop its own sanitary treatment capacity or an alternate source of service, except in the event that the City is no longer able to provide wastewater collection, treatment and disposal service as contemplated hereby. 4.02 The City shall charge the District a monthly flat fee for each single family residential connection and for each multi -family unit in the District. The flat fee for single family residential connections shall be calculated by multiplying the volume charge by the Customers Winter Average Usage. The flat fee for multi -family units shall be calculated by multiplying the volume charge by one-half of the Customers Winter Average Usage. The volume charge shall be the charge adopted and amended from time to time by the City Council. The initial volume charge shall be $3.90 per 1,000 gallons provided, however, it is anticipated that the City will be raising its rate to a maximum of $4.43 per 1,000 gallons during 2013. Once the initial connection is made, the foregoing flat fees will be due whether the single-family or multi -family units are occupied or not. The District's Winter Average Usage shall be calculated by taking the District's total water usage during the Winter Averaging Period, and deducting therefrom (i) water used for irrigation purposes and measured by irrigation only water meters, and (ii) water measured by fire hydrant meters. The difference of the aforesaid calculation shall then be divided by the number of months in (W0581523. I } -4- the Winter Averaging Period to obtain the District's Winter Average Usage. The District's Winter Average Usage shall then be divided by a number equal to the total number of single family residential connections plus one-half of the multi -family units in the District to arrive at the Customers Winter Average Usage. Because there will likely be little usage during the first few years, the Parties agree that until there are at least 500 single family customers, the Customers Winter Average Usage shall be deemed to be the same as the City-wide winter average usage of all single family customers in the City, as determined on an annual basis. The initial Customer Winter Average Usage is deemed to be 6,800 gallons per month, but is subject to change on an annual basis. As set forth above, the initial volume charge is $3.90 per 1,000 gallons with an anticipated increase up to $4.43 per 1,000 gallons during 2013. The initial Customer Winter Average Usage is deemed to be 6,800 gallons per month. Accordingly, the initial monthly flat fee per single-family connection and per multi -family unit (subject to future adjustment as set forth herein) is $26.52 per single-family connection and $18.56 per multi -family unit with an anticipated maximum increase to $30.12 per single-family connection and $21.08 per multi -family unit. 4.03 The District agrees to pay the City in accordance with City Ordinances, to bill users of wastewater treatment services within the District and to set and maintain tax rates and utility rates sufficient to pay the following: a. For wastewater services provided by the City pursuant to this Agreement. b. For all District operation and maintenance expenses in an amount sufficient enough to meet such expenses as they come due. C. For debt service on any bonds issued by the District in an amount deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors. 4.04 The District agrees to supply the City with a copy of each resolution or order adopted by the District setting wastewater rates within seven days of such adoption. The City agrees to give notice to the District at least 30 days prior to approval of any wholesale rate change in order to allow the District to (i) review and comment upon the proposed change and (ii) adjust its own rates to its customers based on the increase in wholesale costs. 4.05 In order to extend wastewater service to the District, the City and the Developer cost participated in the construction of the McNutt Interceptor in accordance with the terms of the Consent Agreement. The McNutt Interceptor is owned, operated and maintained by the City, subject to the reservation of 3,975 LUEs of capacity in the McNutt Interceptor for the provision of wastewater service to the District and to Siena MUD No. 2 and the Developer's right to reimbursement from the District for the District's reserved capacity as provided in the Consent Agreement. 4.06 Anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement notwithstanding, the District and Siena Municipal Utility District No. 2 will have the right to transfer LUEs of wastewater service {W0581523.1) -5- between themselves as may be required for the ultimate development needs of both districts, provided that the maximum amount of wastewater service to both districts may not exceed a maximum of 3,975 LUEs, as provided in the Consent Agreement. The City's consent to any such transfer will not be required, but a copy of the transfer document, which must be in writing and signed by both the transferor district and the transferee district, must be delivered to the City. ARTICLE V. Discharge Quality 5.01 Discharge Quality.
