APPROVAL OF PLAN TO PROVIDE SEWER SOUTH OF MONKEY JUNCTION
Chairman Mathews requested the Assistant County Manager, Dave
Weaver, to briefly update the District Board on the project.
Assistant County Manager, Dave Weaver, advised that after
several Work Sessions, considerable interest had been expressed for
the provision of sewer in the Motts Creek Basin. He reported the
following actions could be taken to provide sewer to this area:
(1)Build the interceptors and pump station as shown on the
attached map at $1.6 million. This section was part of the
Sewer Master Plan but was not scheduled for construction until
2006.
(2)Charge a Transportation Fee of $450 per lot and an equivalent
fee for commercial development at the time the building permit
is issued for all new construction. This fee should be
charged up to the year 2006, and it is estimated that $1.9
million of revenue will be generated from the fee.
The District Board was requested to take the following action:

(1)Approve the construction plan and direct staff to proceed with
development of construction specifications and bid documents.
(2)Adopt the Transportation Fee until the year 2006 for all new
construction.
(3)Direct Staff to continue to develop revenue sources to recover
costs of growth.
Discussion was held on the impact of growth to this area when
the sewer system is expanded. District Commissioner Sisson
emphasized the importance of the District Board recognizing that
the proposed sewer expansion will create residential growth that
will require additional schools, parks, libraries, and
transportation corridors. He reported the County will have to be
prepared to meet these infrastructure needs once the expansion is
completed.
Motion: District Commissioner Greer MOVED, SECONDED by Vice-
Chairman Barone to approve the construction plan as presented,
adopt a Transportation Fee of $450 per lot and an equivalent fee
for commercial development until the year 2006, and direct Staff to
continue to develop revenue sources to recover the costs of growth.
Upon vote, the MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
