RESOLUTION No. 2021 - QL
The City contracted with FCS Group to conduct a Wastewater Capacity Replacement Fee
("Sewer Connection Fee") study, which study report has been rendered to the City and reviewed
by the Council;
The report studied the possibility of combining the Sewer Connection Fee charged within
the city limits and outside of the city limits but within the Chubbuck Area of City Impact and
which area outside of the city is served by the Northwest Sewer Interceptor in cooperation with
the Chubbuck Impact Area Wastewater Collection Authority ("Authority").
The area inside the city limits and the area outside of the city limits have been charged
different Sewer Connection Fees; the Council and the Authority have approved combining the
fee so each area is charged the same Sewer Connection fee. This will simplify administration fo
the fees and issuance of permits.
The FCS Group study report proposed a combined Sewer Connection Fee of $4,133,
which has been approved by the Authority in its Resolution No. znj, Land adopted by the City
Council in Ordinance No 8711;_o_ passed on even date herewith.
