A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING A NEIGHBORHOOD SEWER REIM"URSEMENT
DISTRICT INCENTIVE PROGRAM.
WHEREAS, the City has initiated the Neighborhood Sewer Extension Program to extend public sewers
through Reimbursement Districts in accordance with TNA-C Chapter 13.09;and
WHEREAS,the amounts reimbursed by residential lot owners in the past have been bellow$8,000 per
connection;and
WHEREAS,the reimbursement districts that are currently under consideration have estimated
reimbursement costs ranging from$9,000 to$14,000 per connection;and
WHEREAS,the costs of reversing residential plumbing,closing the existing septic tank,installation of a
sewer lateral to connect to the public system,and payment of the connection fee add several thousand
dollars more to the burden of a residential lot owner who wishes to connect to City sewer;and
WHEREAS,the City Council wishes to initiate an incentive program to encourage residents to connect to
public sewer;and
WHEREAS,the City Council finds that establishing a maximum reimbursement fee for residents to pay
will further the objectives of the program by encouraging formation of sewer reimbursement districts and
actual connections to public sewer;and
WHEREAS,based on previous reimbursement districts,the amount of$8,000 appears to be a reasonable
amount to establish as the maximum fee for reimbursement by residential lot owners;and
WHEREAS,the City Council concurs that the sum of$15,000 should be established as the maximum cost
per connection;and
WHEREAS,the City Council wishes to offer this incentive program for a two-year period,after which the
program will be evaluated for continuation.
