 Title 10. UTILITIES
 Chapter 10.32. FAIR SHARE PROGRAM

  § 10.32.02. Findings and intent.  

Latest version.

  • The city council find and determines that:

    A.

    The implementation of a fair share program is a public necessity which will enhance and protect the quality of life in the city and the state;

    B.

    The requirements and standards of this chapter are necessary for the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the city in that the implementation of a fire share program will maximize the use of public funds for the creation of adequate water or wastewater facilities to serve the future growth of the city;

    C.

    The creation of a fair share program which will authorize development by allowing an applicant to contribute a proportionate share of the cost of a water or wastewater facility will promote a strong commitment to comprehensive facilities planning, contribute to the provision of adequate public facilities for future growth and promote certainty in the development approval process and reduce the economic costs of development by providing greater regulatory certainty;

    D.

    Construction of planned water or wastewater improvements may, in certain circumstances, be expedited due to the presence of the fair share program funds which will allow the city to supplement the funds currently allocated for water or wastewater improvements;

    E.

    A fair share program improves public facilities and encourages private participation in the construction of necessary water or wastewater facilities thus strengthening the public planning process and encouraging sound capital improvement planning and financing; and

    F.

    This chapter implements and is consistent with the city comprehensive plan and the provisions are intended to be the minimum requirements necessary to accomplish the purposes and objectives hereof; and

    G.

    The city is responsible for the funding of water and wastewater capital improvement projects and for which fair share payments ultimately will be collected. In the event insufficient fair share payments are collected to fund the improvements, the city will be responsible for the shortfall.
