have determined there is an immediate and pressing need, due to concerns about contamination
of the ground water aquifer that serves the source for the potable water for Chubbuck, Pocatello
and Bannock County, to provide a means to collect sewage generated within the Chubbuck Area
of City Impact ("Service Area") and deliver it for treatment to the sewage treatment facility
owned and operated by the City of Pocatello.
2. The Service Area is defined in Bannock County Ordinance 1998-5, as revised
from time to time by the annexation of certain portions of said area into the City of Chubbuck.
To alleviate and provide a means of addressing the concerns set forth in paragraph
1, Bannock County, the City of Chubbuck, and the City of Pocatello executed a Joint Powers
Agreement ("Agreement") which formed the Chubbuck Impact Area Wastewater Collection
Authority ("Authority").
4. The Authority reviewed a study and report prepared by JUB Engineers, Inc.
("JUB") which made recommendations for a Sewer Collection System ("System") in the Service
Area.
5. Chubbuck, as lead agency for obtaining financing under the Agreement, has
obtained a loan from the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality to fund the design of the
first phase of the System in the Service Area.
6. To provide funding for the design and construction of the System, JUB
recommended part of the funding be provided through a connection fee collected from all new
development within the Service Area as well as from existing development that seeks to utilize
the System.
7. Tthe fee determined by the Authority to be necessary to fund the improvements
would generally be collected by Bannock County.
8. Any wastewater collected by the System would be treated at the Wastewater
Treatment Plant owned and operated by the City of Pocatello.
9. The City of Pocatello has implemented a plant capacity fee that would also need
to be collected from any new developments and from existing development hooking into the
System.
10. At its March 27, 2008 meeting, the Authority approved assessment of a
connection fee of $5,229 per building permit for 2008, in addition to the Pocatello plant capacity
fee. A discount of fifty per cent (50%) from the connection fee (but not the plant capacity fee)
was approved for any existing residence that connects to the System when it is available.
11. Adjustments to the connection fee will be made from time to time by the
Authority to account for increases in cost.
12. The Agreement provides in paragraph 5.2.5 (5) that the governmental entities will
provide by ordinance for the collection of the fees established by the Authority.
13. Bannock County by this Ordinance does provide for the collection of the fees
established by the Authority.
