It requested that the Board adopt an Ordinance creating the North Merritt Island Transmission System - Phase 2 Capital Recovery Fee.

Summary Explanation and Background:
On January 7, 2020, the Board directed staff to advertise an ordinance to establish the North Merritt Island Transmission System - Phase 2 Capital Recovery Fee to be charged to users connecting to the new North Courtenay Parkway force main extension.
The North Merritt Island Transmission System was installed along North Courtenay Parkway from Hall Road to Church Street. This 6-inch force main serves as the regional wastewater transmission system connection for all parcels in Merritt Island between the 2 streets mentioned.
Regional wastewater infrastructure needs which improve or extend the County's system are "pre-paid" with Water and Wastewater Capital Reserves, with prorated repayment by users at the time of connection. An ordinance is used to formally establish the service area and requires payment of a capital recovery fee at the time of connection. Specific fees are established by resolution when construction is completed. The Capital Recovery system has been used to extend the regional water and sewer service in all of the County's service areas. This differs from the MSBU process in that fees are recovered at the time of connection to the system instead of completion of the project.
This North Courtenay wastewater system extension project received grant funds in the amount of $424,064.19. The remainder of the cost of the expansion would be prorated by the number of anticipated Equivalent Residential Connections (E R C) with an estimated per connection recovery charge of $1,335.81.
