Second Reading <br /> 51, Third Reading <br /> Public Hearing <br /> Budget Advisory Initialed by: <br /> Department Head <br /> Administration <br /> Council President <br /> Location Preceding Action Attachments Department(s)Approval <br /> Ordinance 3095-08 Ordinance Legal <br /> Amount Budgeted -0- <br /> Expenditure Required -0- Account Number(s): <br /> Budget Remaining -0- <br /> Additional Required -0- <br /> DETAILED SUMMARY STATEMENT: <br /> The current System Development Fee Ordinance(No.3095-08)expires December 31,2018. Staff recommends that a <br /> new four-year ordinance be adopted by City Council to be effective January 1,2019.The proposed ordinance aligns <br /> the City's system development fee program with industry/best management practices. <br /> The proposed ordinance will streamline the permitting process,improve staff efficiency and remove outdated <br /> requirements that have the effect of increasing business development cost. These outcomes will be achieved because <br /> the proposed ordinance changes the current water and sewer commercial fees' methodology from basing fees on the <br /> type of commercial use(e.g.restaurant,hair salon)to a fee structure based on water service size. This approach <br /> reflects the actual cost of service and establishes a connection between fees paid and services rendered. <br /> System Development Fees for Stormwater would also constitute a separate fee based on impervious surface area. <br /> Currently,the stormwater fee is part of the sewer development fee. <br /> The proposed ordinance would increase System Development Fees 0.74 percent in 2019 and 2.9 percent per year in <br /> 2020,2021 and 2022. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(Exact action requested of Council): <br /> Adopt an Ordinance establishing special system development fees for connection to the City of Everett water and <br /> sewer systems and stormwater system impacts,amending Ordinance 3095-08 <br /> 15 <br />
