ORDINANCE NO. 3015
ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA AMENDING
CHULA VISTA MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 3.18.010 TO
ESTABLISH A NEW AMOUNT FOR THE SEWERAGE
FACILITIES REPLACEMENT COMPONENT OF THE SEWER
SERVICE CHARGE AND ALLOWING THE CITY COUNCIL
TO ESTABLISH SUCH AMOUNTS IN THE FUTURE BY
COUNCIL RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, on June 16, 1987, the City Council created a sewerage facilities replacement
fund to pay the cost of refurbishment and/or replacement of structurally deficient sewerage
facilities, including related evaluation, engineering, and utility modification costs; and
WHEREAS, during Fiscal Year 2005, the City retained a consultant, Camp Dresser &
McKee Inc. to analyze and recommend an update to the sewer service charges for the next five
fiscal years; and
WHEREAS, based on the review of the available data, it was determined that the funding
for the current sewer rehabilitation program was inadequate; and
WHEREAS, a portion of the monthly sewer service charge is allocated to the sewerage
facilities replacement fund, which funds the sewer rehabilitation program; and
WHEREAS, to fully fund the rehabilitation program, the allocation must be increased;
and
WHEREAS, setting the sewerage facilities replacement component of the sewer service
charge can be a cumbersome process because the component is set by ordinance while the sewer
service charge is set by resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City ofChula Vista does hereby ordain:

follows:

portion of each user's sewer service charge.
