Recommendation
It requested that the Board consider approval of Legislative Intent and Permission to Advertise an Ordinance creating the North Merritt Island Transmission System - Phase 3 Capital Recovery Fee.
End
Background:
The North Merritt Island Transmission System Phase 3 will be installed along North Courtenay Parkway from Church Street to North Tropical Trail. 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.
The engineering firm that has designed this North Courtenay wastewater system extension project has estimated that construction will cost $1,359,864. The final cost of the expansion would be prorated by the number of anticipated 379 Equivalent Residential Connections (E R C) with an estimated per connection recovery charge of $3,588.
