SUBJ: Sexer Availability Gh�rge Refunde
In 1973, the Metropolftan Maste Gantral Coa��i�sion Sft.W.C.C, 1 i�nitiated a poliay
of charging feee at the time of buiiding per�ft i�suance to aetabliah a fund for
the oonstruction and renovation of +rast� tre+�tment plants end interceptor eexer
lines tS. A.C. ). This fee xas �+�tablish�d by l4.W.C.C. with th� r�sponeibility
of collecting it being delegated to each municfpality rithin t�►e seven caunty
metro area�.
Theee #eea rrere collQated on each n�N building or remodeled buildings Mith
additions based upon a paremeter table and residential equivalent�. Thi� epplied
to all stractures built rhether they xere served by �uniaip�l eerer ar private
serer systems. A monthly report and #ee remittance �►as med� to 1!.W.C.C. by �aah
munfcipality. M.W.C.C. reviered the funds snd deposit�d them in their
constructfon �ccount.
� The practice af collecting S.A.C. fees from people utilizing privete serege
treatment systems caused sev�rel queations of legellty and r�asonab�.eness #.o b�
raised� resulting in a ?I.Mt.C.C. policy chsag�. The policy change exe�npted all
propertiee utilizing private eyetems fram having to pay S.A.C. fe�s. Another
result ot the poliay rss trie i�plementation of e voluntary refund progrem.
M.W.C.C. set� forth the opportunity #or all f�es callected for priva�e sexer
eystems to be refunded to th� propertiee fro� �rhich it xas calleated.
These fees had been coli�cted from 1973 until the paliay chenge effectiv� 1/1187.
Since many of the eff�cted properties cauld have chsnged own+erehip s�ver�l ti�es
it made mvet sense to meke the r�fund to the property and current aMner. The
retund is bein� made from M,W.C.G. to the entity rhich fssued th� p�rmit and
remitted the fees. It 3s then the d�ciaion of this �ntity ss to rh�ther or not
to refund the fee to th� property, or establish a fund #cr eerer installetian, "
or to utilize the money in any other rsy council desires. The big catch is that
xith a refund from M.W.C.C. the property o�ners Mill have to psy a S.A.C. fe�
at the current rate Khen they hook to �unicfpal service.
We at the City of Rosemount must decide the method of h�ndling the refund.
Staff has reseerched the building permit files from 1973 to 198? determining th�
number of properties affected e,nd the amount of fees r��nitted. Our records
indicate thet 163 pro jeets Ker� aeceesed during thts t�me frame rith @ach pay�ent
ranging from 8275 to 9475. The total S,A.C. feea coilected fro�n the 163 pro�ect�
ras 559�325.00.
It i� sta#fs recommendation that the City recefve the refund from M.W.C.C. and
then in turn �aake the refunde to the current property orners. The tot�l refund
money is not sufficient to inatall serer ta an area Nhfch is not curr�ntly
served. Nor daes it see�n apprapriate, in staffs opinion. to use the a�oney for
anythin� other than aexer aunetruction.
There ere no plans to provide sewer to any of th� non-ser�r dfatrict� in the next
five t5) ye�rs. Most af the areas �ay nat eee e�Mer in 2t} yeers �nd th�
' possibility exists thet so�ae areas may nev�r see seMer.
