Council established the Sewerage Facility Participation Fee in April 1985.
The fee ($300 per new equivalent dwelling unit of flow) established at that
time was, and remains significantly lower than the fees of most other area
agencies. At the March 24, 1987, Council meeting, a proposal to increase the
£tee to $600 was submitted. Council set a public hearing on the matter.
rECOMMENDATION: That Council place the ordinance on first reading amending
Section 13.14.020 of the City Code and resolution to modify the Master Fee
Schedule so as to increase the Sewerage Facility Participation Fee from $300
to $600 per new equivalent dwelling unit of flow.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
Justification for an increase in the Sewerage Facility Participation Fee was
set forth in the March 24, 1987 agenda statement on that subject. A copy of
the statement is attached.
On March 26, 1987, staff received a letter from the Construction Industry
Federation (C.I .F. ) which requests that the City take no action to increase
Sewerage Facility Participation Fees until costs, and their equitable
distribution, are determined. Attached to this A-113 is a copy of the letter
and staff's response to the letter.
Section 13.14.020 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code currently establishes the
base charge as $300 per equivalent dwelling unit. Current sewer service
charges and sewer connection fees are contained in the Master Fee Schedule.
