Section 1. INTENT. The City previously entered into a Joint Powers Agreement with
the City of Pocatello and Bannock County to establish the Chubbuck Impact Area Wastewater
Collection Authority ("Authority"). The City and the Authority established a connection
fee for the area outside of the City limits but within the Area of City Impact. Bannock County
has withdrawn from the Authority; the remaining members of the Authority have recommended
the fee charged by the Authority be consolidated with and be administered by the City of
Chubbuck, rather than a distinction being maintained and a different connection fee being
collected for areas outside of the city limits. The City, in a recent rate study, has determined to
consolidate the sewer connection fee and to charge the same rate for connections within the city
limits as those outside the city limits but within the Chubbuck Area of City impact for
connecting into the wastewater disposal system maintained by the City.
Section 2. AMENDED SECTION 13.04.023. Section 13.04.023 of the Chubbuck
