President of City Council ATTEST City Clerk City Clerk’s Office Item # R-8 Background Paper for Proposed Ordinance COUNCIL MEETING DATE: January 10, 2022 TO: President Lawrence W. Atencio and Members of City Council CC: Mayor Nicholas A. Gradisar VIA: Marisa Stoller, City Clerk From: Nancy Keller, Wastewater Director SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 3 OF CHAPTER 11 OF TITLE XVI OF THE PUEBLO MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO SANITARY SEWER CONNECTION FEES AND PLANT INVESTMENT FEES SUMMARY: With respect to Sanitary Sewer Connection Fee and Plant Invest Fee, this Ordinance updates the table of fees from 2003-2012 and subsequent years to a table of fees for 2022 – 2026 and subsequent years. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: None. BACKGROUND: The Sanitary Connection Fee and the Plant Investment Fee are intended to defray the projected impacts by proposed development for growth related capital projects to upgrade existing sanitary sewer that is insufficient to carry flow, excluding extension of the sanitary sewer system. New customers must contribute an amount comparable to the existing customers for the capacity to be utilized by the development. A clarification on how to calculate the fees is added for multifamily and commercial properties. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Increases in Sanitary Connection Fee and the Plant Investment Fee will help offset the cost of upsizing existing infrastructure for growth related capital projects in accordance with Section 16-11-4 and Section 6-11-7 of the Pueblo Municipal Code. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable. STAKEHOLDER PROCESS: None. ALTERNATIVES: Alternative No. 1 – No Action Under this alternative, the City would not change the ordinance and the rate payers would pay for the cost of upsizing the sanitary main to accommodate the flow from the new development. RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the Resolution. Attachments: None.
