Service Citv of Everett City of Mukilteo Difference Water ]" Meter $500.00 $5,877.00 Svstem Develo�ment $1 442.00 $0.00 Total Water Fees S1,942.00 $5,877.00 53,935.00 Sewer Connection $70.00 $4,035.00 Availability $0.00 $1,020.00 Svstem Development $2 245.00 $0.00 'fi�tal Sewcr Fees �2,315.00 55,155.00 52,840.00 As Shown above,the connection fees in the Mukilteo jurisdiction are considerably higher ($6,775.00 per home). The investor and investor's attorney refuse to pay the higher fee. The builder is being paid a flat fee of$10,000 per house to build so he has no ability or obligation to cover the difference. The shortfall �vould be my responsibility and I don't have the ability to cover it. I was instructed and informed by both jurisdictions that we would be paying the City of Everett for connections and working with them. I feel that the fair and right solution would be for the jurisdiction that will ultimately be collecting the connection fees to honor the instructions given and charge the City of Everett's rates that were quoted. Paine Field VVa��—This project is in a similar predicament. The bank is financing the construction as a way to eliminate vacant lot inventory by alloN�ing single build-outs. The bank required LXACT construction costs. Win Lessley with Adair Entetprises, LLC was instructed by Mukilteo Water& Sewer that he needed to work with Everett as they would be acquiring the �vater and sewer sen�ice August I, 2010. The bank refuses to pay uny overages on line items and Adair does not have the fi:iancial ability to cover the difference. The City of Everett not only issued pemiits October 13, 2010 based on this information but also collected the connection fees of both �vater and sewer(see uttached permits). Construction has now come to a halt as we need water to test plumbing. Interest charges continue to accumulate as the project sits idle. The City of�verett refuses to connect�vater and sewer even though they have already been paid for it due to this mix up. Up to this point the City of Everett has performed all inspections. Dunles on Corbin — t�9r. Messak (owner) also informed of the change coming and held off purchasing 2 �vater meters until August l, 2010. Mr. Messak still has no water and a completed investmcnt property sitting vacant. This issuc only affects the 3 above named groups. It is a very isolated issue. I would propose two simple alternatives solutions to this problem on these�,rojects only: I. If water is transferced to the Cit of Lverett January 1, 201 l, then a. 11�e will hold off on paying water until the first of the yeu and deal ��ith Everett b. Mukilteo will charge a total fce of�?3]5.00 for sc��er connection (Gverett's quoted fcc) Or... � .Tohn L.
