BOARD AGENDA ITEM 4c
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: Ross Johnson, Manager of Plant Operations
MEETING DATE: January 19, 2012
ITEM - PROJECT NAME: C -Line Hydro Request for Proposals (RFP)
REQUESTED BOARD ACTION: Authorize staff to call for a RFP for C -Line hydro feasibility
study and possible design.
DISCUSSION: The last C -Line hydro feasibility study was completed in June of 2001.
Several factors have changed in the interim: power costs have increased, generation
technology has improved, and power utilities are under increased pressure to produce
renewal energy. Diamond Valley Ranch improvements are expected to alter the C -Line
terminus as well as create new power requirements in the application area via pivot
rigs. Staff believes it is an appropriate time to revisit the possibility of power generation
on the C -Line. Based on the outcome of the feasibility study the contract may move on
to design.
SCHEDULE: Present for board approval March 15, 2012
COSTS: $100,000 grant from El Dorado Water Agency plus $100,000 matching funds by
STPUD.

District Background Information
The South Tahoe Public Utility District is a California Special District, covering
the south shore of the Lake Tahoe basin, created and operating under the
Special Districts Act of 1917. The District commenced operations September 25,
1950. The District is a non - profit government agency, supported by water and
wastewater service fees and property taxes. The District employs —115 people
and serves an estimated 35,000 residents and businesses.
The five- member governing body, the Board of Directors, is directly elected by
voters for a fixed term of four years and has full power to establish service rates
and assess other policies for District operations.
Visit http: / /www.stpud.us to find out more about the District.
C -Line Power Generation Background
Ever since the effluent export system was completed in September 1967 the idea
of generating power with effluent has been discussed. An average of four million
gallons of water daily dropping 1975 feet in an existing conduit seemed to be an
ideal application for hydro generation. Unfortunately the C -Line was never
originally designed to accommodate hydroelectric power and is pressure rated
for only 150 psi.
The condition of the 45 year old C -Line is largely unknown. If the C -Line is
nearing the end of its useful life it may be advantageous to replace it, or slip -line
with a higher pressure line more advantageous for hydro generation.
Scope of Work and Deliverables
Phase 1 — Evaluation Study and Condition Assessment
• Task 1: Existing document review._ Collect and review previous HDR and
Kennedy Jenks hydro studies, plans and specifications, and portions of
the Diamond Valley Ranch Master Plan. Compile enough information
regarding existing District infrastructure to complete remaining tasks.
• Task 2: Meet with district staff to outline effluent disposal operations.
Became familiar with C -Line shutdown limitations. Understand current and
proposed land application practices to the extent that they could impact
power generation.
• Task 3: Determine the best approach for condition assessment of the
existing C -Line. The goal is to accurately determine the remaining useful
life of the existing C -Line within the constraints of the limited process
downtime available.
• Task 4: Implement the condition assessment determined in task 3.
Conduct condition assessment and deliver a detailed report.
• Task 5: Develop and evaluate a comprehensive analysis of power
producing option(s) for the C -Line. Determine option(s) for power
generation on the C -Line. If multiple options exist rank them using the
triple bottom line approach. Include options for C -Line replacement /
repair / resize.
• Task 6: Evaluate appropriate power technologies and equipment for each
power generating option. Establish or estimate permitting (including
FERC) approval costs and issues. Establish or estimate probable utility tie
in agreements. Conduct a planning level evaluation of the equipment
necessary. Include a total cost of ownership lifecycle analysis inclusive of
O &M, insurance, and administration.
• Task 7: Select best option and produce a business case evaluation for C-
Line power generation.
• Task 8: Prepare a final report documenting all findings and
recommendations
Phase 2 — Mini Hydro Design (Dependent on outcome of phase 1)
• Task 1: Perform site investigations and surveying, as necessary to
support design, including but not limited to geotechnical investigations
and hazardous materials assessment.
• Task 2: Prepare Basis of Design Report (draft and final). Meet with District
Team to discuss recommendations.
• Task 3: Prepare 50% Design documents, including drawings and
specifications. Meet with District Team to discuss comments.
• Task 4: Prepare 90% Design documents, including drawings and
specifications. Meet with District Team to discuss comments.
• Task 5: Prepare Construction Documents, including drawings and
specifications.
• Task 6: Provide as- needed support to the District to meet regulatory
requirements for the project, including but not limited to, computations and
drawings to support permits.

BOARD AGENDA ITEM 4e
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: Julie Ryan, Senior Engineer
MEETING DATE: January 19, 2012
ITEM - PROJECT NAME: Headworks Replacement Project
REQUESTED BOARD ACTION: Approve proposal from Carollo Engineers for construction
support services, in the amount not to exceed $163,915.
DISCUSSION: On July 16, 2009, the Board approved Carollo Engineers as the design
engineer for the Headworks Replacement Project. Carollo's original budget for this
project was $1,558,942.56, for design and services during bidding and construction.
Their budget was extended by $296,534.00 on November 4, 2010, for additional design
services and construction support during Phase 1.
During construction of Phase 2, which is ongoing, staff has relied heavily on Carollo for
support to address primarily the following items, which were not anticipated when the
budget for construction support was developed back in 2009.
1) The Contractor has submitted a large number of "or equal" products, which require
more extensive review to ensure compliance with the Contract.
2) The Contractor's submittals have generally required numerous iterations to arrive at
an acceptable submittal package that meets the Contract requirements.
3) Staff called on the geotechnical engineer (who is a subconsultant to Carollo) to
provide on -site inspection of the excavations. This cost was not accounted for in
Carollo's original budget.
To account for these additional costs, and fund the remaining effort anticipated by
Carollo through the scheduled end of construction in October 2012, Carollo has
requested a budget increase in the amount $163,915 as detailed in Exhibit B to the
services proposal (attached). Carollo's original budget for Phase 2 Construction
Support was $284,722.

South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150
Attention: Ms. Julie Ryan, P.E., Senior Civil Engineer
Subject: Headworks Replacement Project — Scope of Services, Task Order 4D
Dear Julie:
As we have discussed and indicated in our monthly project management updates, Carollo has
identified that we are tracking to exceed our budget for Phase II Engineering Services During
Construction (Task 10). The primary reasons we will exceed our budget are related to our
efforts on Contractor's submittals and requests for information spent so far on the project. We
have reached a point where monthly expenditures have dropped substantially, however there
are remaining subtasks, such as record drawing preparation, yet to be completed. Table 1 on
the following page highlights the original contract hours, that expended to date (as of October
15) and what we anticipate at this point will be necessary to fully complete all of the tasks
identified in the original scope of work.
Carollo has reviewed well beyond the anticipated number of Contractor submittals, primarily due
to resubmittals related to "or- equal" product proposals. Per our original contract, we anticipated
reviewing approximately 75 submittals, which would include most major equipment submittals
and electrical /instrumentation submittals. This estimate was based on our historical working
relationship with the District, wherein the majority of the building material submittals and general
piping and valves were reviewed by District staff. As of December 31, Carollo had reviewed 221
total submittals, 109 of which were original and 112 were resubmittals. We are currently
reviewing 3 open submittals. We anticipate there are 11 outstanding submittals needing to be
resubmitted, as well as 17 other technical sections within the specifications that have not yet
been submitted upon. Based on our discussions, we understand that District staff will review
the Contractor's equipment O &M Manuals, and therefore have not included effort in our
estimate for review.
In addition to the submittals required for the Contractor to demonstrate compliance with the
Contract Documents, the Contract requires the system integrator to provide control narratives
and loop drawings to demonstrate that the control system will comply with the design intent. We
have anticipated that for this contract, the District plans to have Carollo review these
documents, since the programming is being completed by a third party through the Contractor.
Carollo has expended more effort assisting the District with field questions that have arisen due
to unforeseen conditions and contractor requested changes and clarifications. Our efforts
documenting these changes to the Contract within the CAD drawings will help us with our

efficiency preparing the project record drawings, but it has contributed to our exceedance of our
original budget for design clarifications and requests for information. As of December 31,
Carollo has assisted the District's construction management staff with the majority of the 106
requests for information (RFI) received to date and 15 design clarifications. While we did not
include a number in our original proposal, we anticipated approximately 60 RFI's and design
clarifications for a project of this size. To complete the project, we anticipate a combined
additional 30 formal requests for information and /or design clarifications will be processed prior
to project closeout, in addition to assisting District staff with informal requests for information
they may have to clarify the Contract Documents.

Notes:
(1) Original proposal assumed 90 drawings, at approximately 3 hours per sheet. Current conformed set is
166 drawings, and 2 hours per drawing average assumed. Estimated that approximately 100 hrs of CAD
time expended on Design Clarifications to date is directly applicable to production of Record Drawings.
(2) Hazardous material abatement subtask to be entirely administered by Wise Environmental.
In June 2011, Carollo added CME's services to provide engineering review and site services
related to the geotechnical conditions, when it was determined that the District did not have
these services available under their ongoing services contract. We negotiated a small task
order for a not to exceed amount of $4,500 to cover these services.
We anticipate at the completion of the project we will fulfill the task for completion of the Record
Drawings for the project. In our estimate for Task Order 4, we had assumed that the drawing
set for the Headworks Replacement Project would require approximately 90 drawings. The
Conformed Documents now stand at 166 drawings. Our efforts will be streamlined given our
documentation of field changes within the record set to date, however there will be information
provided by the Contractor that hasn't yet been included. We expect we will reduce our effort
on a per- drawing basis from the estimated 3 hours per drawing down to 2 hours per drawing,
however given the expanded drawing set compared to the original estimate, this will require a
small budget increase.
Based on the work to date, we believe there is potential cost savings with certain tasks, namely
the site visits and the change order assistance. We believe we can finish the project with as few
as five more site visits, and can trim our change order assistance slightly, allowing enough
budget to help on those particular change requests that require design support and analysis.

BOARD AGENDA ITEM 4f
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: John Thiel, Principal Engineer
MEETING DATE: January 19, 2012
ITEM - PROJECT NAME: Grizzly Mountain Booster Station
REQUESTED BOARD ACTION: Approve Change Order No. 5 to Thomas Haen Co. Inc., in
the amount of $53,445.
DISCUSSION: This proposed Change Order No. 5 includes additional work as follows:
• Part A - Contractor was directed to abandon the old Grizzly Mountain PRV
located in North Upper Truckee Road, and remove or abandon other 6" and 8"
pipes and an old fire hydrant. This work was originally included in the Grizzly
Waterline Project completed by Burdick Construction. Burdick had completed the
waterline ahead of schedule and the District was not ready to abandon the old
PRV and pipe connections at that time due to the ongoing work at the booster
station. Therefore, staff moved this contract work from Burdick to Haen. This work
was completed on a time and materials basis at a cost of $17,439.
• Part B - The installation of a holding tank and related piping was added to the
contract. The 500 gallon holding tank will store washdown, blowoff, and other
small amounts of water generated inside the building and flowing to the floor
drains. Direct connection to the sanitary sewer was originally planned but was not
completed due to difficulties encountered with groundwater and unstable soils
while excavating for the sewer connection. The holding tank will need to be
pumped out by District crews approximately once per year. A high water level
alarm is included in the holding tank installation. This work was completed on a
time and materials basis at a cost of $4,058.
• Part C - While excavating for the driveway, a large boulder was encountered
which required additional time and equipment to move. This work was completed
on a time and materials basis at a cost of $509.
• Part D - Provide complete assembly of Tesco L2000 Programmable Logic Controller
including configuration, wiring, control engineering, drawings, technical
documentation, programming and seji. p, communications setup and
John Thiel

Page 2
implementation, application programming documentation with control strategy
narratives, testing, startup, debugging, and training for a cost of $27,712. The
District originally intended to provide this project element from a separate
contractor, TESCO, and so it was not included in the contract work. Staff later
decided to have TESCO work directly with the electrical subcontractor for Haen,
to streamline the controls process and to reduce potential implementation
problems.
• Part E - Due to steep slope, groundwater, and unstable soils at the back of the lot,
which was disturbed during the excavation for the sewer lateral, the Contractor
was directed to install slope protection including seeded jute netting, drain pipe,
rock, and drain rock. This work was completed on a time and materials basis at a
cost of $3,727.
The total for Part A through Part E is $53,445. Staff recommends approval of Change
Order No. 5.

BOARD AGENDA ITEM 4g
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: Randy Curtis, Manager of Field Operations
MEETING DATE: January 19, 2012
ITEM - PROJECT NAME: Air Compressor (trailer mounted)
REQUESTED BOARD ACTION: (1) Find Holt of California bid to be non - responsive and
reject on that basis; (2) Find Volvo Construction Equip & Services to be non - responsive
and reject on that basis; (3) Waive minor irregularities of bid from Edward R. Bacon Co.;
and (4) Award bid to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, Edward R. Bacon Co.,
in the amount of $21,541.38.
DISCUSSION: Holt of California and Volvo Construction Equipment & Services submitted
bids for 49 hp engines with normal psi operating pressures of 100 versus the 80 hp
engines with minimum 125 psi ratings as specified in the bid documents. These bids are
not responsive to the District's solicitation.
As described in the Bid Results memo, the bid of Edward R. Bacon Co. contained the
deviations listed therein. Staff recognizes that it should have specified an "Interim Tier 4"
engine rather than a (final) Tier 4 engine which will not be required until 2015. The
Interim Tier 4 engine that Edward R Bacon Co. proposed does reduce the hp rating
slightly. The District may waive deviations as minor irregularities and accept a low bid
that substantially conforms to the call for bids if the variance could not have affected
the amount of the bid or given the bidder an advantage or benefit not allowed to
other bidders. Staff believes that the deviations identified in the Edward R. Bacon Co.
bid are immaterial and did not provide an advantage or benefit to the bidder, and
that the unit will meet crew operating requirements and recommends award of the bid.

BOARD AGENDA ITEM 6a
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: Brad Herrema, Legal Counsel
MEETING DATE: January 19, 2012
ITEM - PROJECT NAME: Request to Appear Before the Board re: Public Records
Request for Mailing Addresses for the District's Ratepayers
REQUESTED BOARD ACTION: Consider request received from John Runnels, Citizens
Alliance for Responsible Government, to furnish customer mailing addresses and if
available, E -mail addresses.
DISCUSSION:
Staff Comments:
By letter of December 19, 2011, John Runnels submitted a Public Records Request for
the mailing addresses for District ratepayers, including email addresses. On
December 22, 2011, his request was denied pursuant to Government Code Section
6254:16, discussed below.
Mr. Runnels relayed, under the Comments from the Audience portion of the January 5,
2012 Board meeting, that he thought the public interest in disclosure of the information
clearly outweighs the public interest in nondisclosure, and requested this issue be
decided upon by a vote of the Board.
The California Public Records Act ( "Act "), was enacted by the California Legislature to
ensure that the public has access to information concerning the conduct of the
public's business. This is achieved by allowing the public to inspect and /or obtain
copies of identifiable public records. The Act defines "public records" as "any writing
containing information relating to the conduct of the public's business prepared,
owned, used, or retained by any state or local agency regardless of physical form or
characteristics." The Act was designed to allow for greater governmental
transparency by making information more readily available.
At the same time, the Legislature recognized the need to exempt certain types of
government records from disclosure. There are numerous statutory exemptions as well
-51-
Tim Bledsoe
January 19, 2012
Page 2
as a general balancing test which allows an agency to withhold records if the public
interest in non - disclosure clearly outweighs the public interest in disclosure. The interests
that justify these exemptions are primarily related to the recognition of an individual's
right to privacy (e.g. privacy in certain personnel, medical or similar records) and the
need for a government agency to perform its assigned function in a reasonably
efficient manner (e.g. maintaining confidentiality of attorney - client privileged records,
records related to pending litigation and preliminary notes or memoranda).
Government Code section 6254.16 provides that nothing in the Act shall be construed
to require disclosure of the name, home address or telephone numbers of utility
customers of local agencies, except in certain circumstances. However, the disclosure
of the name, utility usage data and home address of certain utility customers is
authorized in six specified instances. The only applicable exception in this case is where
the local agency determines that the public interest in disclosure of the information
clearly outweighs the public interest in nondisclosure. (Gov. Code, § 6254.16(f).)
As described above, pursuant to the Act, customers' personal contact information is
not disclosable. In considering the Act, California courts have consistently ruled that
individuals have a substantial privacy interest in their personal contact information.
Because Mr. Runnels, at the time of his December 19, 2011 request, presented no
information demonstrating a public interest in disclosure of customer contact
information, his request was denied by staff. In order to disclose records containing the
requested information, the Board must find that the public interest in the disclosure of
customers' contact information clearly outweighs the public interest in nondisclosure.
Customer Comments:
Mailing addresses will be used to engage the 70% of out of town ratepayers who have
no access to daily local media coverage of STPUD activities. Providing an unbiased
report of STPUD policies and operations, a heads up to Proposition 218 notifications, and
site information for local internet blogs to provide information, interaction, and
involvement for out of area ratepayers.

From the Government Code, section 6254.16:
6254.16. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to require the
disclosure of the name, credit history, utility usage data, home
address, or telephone number of utility customers of local agencies,
except that disclosure of name, utility usage data, and the home
address of utility customers of local agencies shall be made
available upon request as follows:
(a) To an agent or authorized family member of the person to whom
the information pertains.
(b) To an officer or employee of another governmental agency when
necessary for the performance of its official duties.
(c) Upon court order or the request of a law enforcement agency

TO: Board of Directors
FROM: Pete Lavallee, Assistant Engineer
MEETING DATE: January 19, 2012
ITEM - PROJECT NAME: Wildwood Waterline Replacement Project and
Bal Bijou Waterline Project
PUBLIC HEARING
REQUESTED BOARD ACTION: (1) Hold a Public Hearing to receive comments on the
designation of the Wildwood Waterline Replacement Project and Bal Bijou Waterline
Project as substantially complex; (2) Pursuant to the facts described in the Staff Report,
find the Project is substantially complex and requires a 10% retention limit; and (3)
Authorize staff to advertise for construction bids.
DISCUSSION: The proposed waterline project includes the installation of 5,703 feet of
8 -inch waterline on the following streets: Sonora Avenue, Osgood Avenue, Pine Grove
Avenue, Paradise Avenue, Alder Avenue, Aspen Avenue, and Aspenwald Road. The
project also includes approximately 915 feet of new 8 -inch waterline on Bal Bijou Road
which is being installed in preparation of the City of South Lake Tahoe's Bijou Erosion
Control Project. The project will replace old, undersized pipes with a significant
improvement to fire flows. Design and the development of plans and specifications for
the Wildwood portion of the project was completed by Kennedy Jenks Consultants and
District staff designed and prepared plans for the Bal Bijou portion of the project.

project to 5% of the total contract amount. However, the retention amount may
exceed 5% if the Board, at a properly noticed and normally scheduled public hearing,
finds that the project is "substantially complex," and that the nature of the project
merits a higher retention amount.
District staff recommends that the Board designate the Project as substantially complex
(neither Senate Bill 293 nor the provisions of the Public Contract Code define the
characteristics of a project that should be considered "substantially complex ") and
meriting a retention amount of 10 %, based on the following:
• The Lake Tahoe Basin is a unique area, which, due to high environmental
sensitivity, is highly regulated by TRPA;
• Based on the limited construction season (May 1 - Oct. 15) within the Lake
Tahoe Basin, the project must be timely completed without the benefit of
time extension.

FROM: Jim Hoggatt, Engineering Department Manager
MEETING DATE: January 19, 2012
ITEM - PROJECT NAME: Manhole and Sewer Line Protection off Country Club Near
Upper Truckee River
PUBLIC HEARING
REQUESTED BOARD ACTION: (1) Hold a Public Hearing to receive comments on the
proposed designation of the Manhole and Sewer Line Protection Project as substantially
complex; and (2) Pursuant to the facts described in the staff report, find the project is
substantially complex and requires a 10% retention limit.
DISCUSSION: On January 5, 2012, the Board designated as an emergency project the
manhole and sewer line protection off Country Club near the Upper Truckee River (the
"Project "). In early December 2011, Underground Repair Sewer Crew on their routine
inspection, discovered the 12 -inch sewer line approximately 1,000 feet from the
intersection of Country Club and Bakersfield was exposed in the Upper Truckee River
and the river bank was within a few feet from a manhole. Upon staff's review of the
as -built drawings dating back to 1967 and 1968, it was found that the sewer line was
concrete encased starting 50 feet from the manhole for the river crossing. Over the
years, the river has eroded the river bank and main channel flow changed to within 3
to 5 feet of the manhole.
Recent legislative amendments to the Public Contract Code, effective January 1, 2012,
limit the amount of retention the District can withhold from a contractor for a capital
project to 5% of the total contract amount. However, the retention amount may
exceed 5% if the Board, at a properly noticed and normally scheduled public hearing,
finds that the project is "substantially complex," and that the nature of the project
merits a higher retention amount.
District staff recommends that the Board designate the Project as substantially complex
(neither Senate Bill 293 nor the provisions of the Public Contract Code define the
characteristics of a project that should be considered "substantially complex ") and
meriting a retention amount of 10 %, based g the following:

• The Lake Tahoe Basin is a unique area, which, due to high environmental
sensitivity, is highly regulated by TRPA;
• The majority of the Project will take place in the Upper Truckee River;
• Damage to the line protection and manhole could potentially result in a
rupture of the pipeline at any time with a subsequent discharge of
wastewater into the Upper Truckee River. The consequences of damage to
the pipeline include significant potential loss of sewer service to residents in
Meyers and a significant risk to water quality in the Upper Truckee River.
Because damage to the pipeline is most likely during high flows, a direct
repair would likely be infeasible as a potential response when damage
occurs; and
• Timing for construction is a significant concern because of the potential for
damage In the next snowmelt season, difficulty in conducting a repair during
high flows, and significant consequences associated with pipeline damage.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE SOUTH TAHOE PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT
REGARDING SCHEDULED INCREASES IN WATER CAPACITY CHARGES AND
AMENDING ADMINISTRATIVE CODE SECTION 3.1.49(e)
Be it enacted by the Board of Directors of the South Tahoe Public Utility District, County
of El Dorado, State of California, as follows:
SECTION I - POLICY AND PURPOSE
The purpose of this ordinance is to amend the Administrative Code to postpone the

SECTION III — FINDINGS
The Board of Directors of the South Tahoe Public Utility District, El Dorado County,
State of California, makes the following findings:
Ordinance No. 538 -12
Sewer Capacity Charge
Page 1
-71-
1. The District's sewer capacity charges were previously determined to be less than
the cost of providing such capacity by a comprehensive study authorized by the Board. On this
basis, the Board previously adopted Ordinance 502 -08, which set the District's sewer capacity
rates in order to reflect the actual cost of providing the services for which the charges are
imposed.
2. Recognizing that the costs of providing services would increase,
Ordinance 502 -08 additionally provided for a mechanism pursuant to which an increase in the
District's sewer capacity charge would take place on January 1 of each year from 2009 through
2013.
3. By Ordinances 534 -11, 527 -10, and 518 -10 the Board postponed the scheduled
increases three times — three separate six month terms effective January 1, 2010, January 1,
2011, and July 1, 2011, on the basis that allowing the scheduled sewer capacity charge increase
would contribute to adverse impacts on development within the District's boundaries by
increasing the costs of new development.
4. The Board finds that the current economic climate may still be adversely
impacting new development within the District's boundaries.
5. The Board finds that allowing the scheduled sewer capacity charge increase could
contribute to the adverse impacts on development within the District's boundaries by increasing
the costs of new development.
6. This ordinance is designed to postpone the increase to the sewer capacity charge
scheduled to occur on January 1, 2012, until July 1, 2012.
7. The Board has determined that it is in the best interest of the health and safety of
District's residents to postpone the scheduled increase in the District's sewer capacity charges.
SECTION IV — SEWER CONNECTION
1. Sewer capacity charges shall be determined as follows:
a. A sewer capacity charge shall be paid to the District by the applicant
desiring connection to the District sewer system based upon the number of sewer units which are
required for the applicant's project. Refer to Section V, Paragraph 1, Schedule No. 1.
b. At any time sewer capacity is added to any parcel for which the initial
capacity charge has been previously paid in an amount which did not include such additional
capacity, as a condition to such parcel remaining connected to the District sewer system, there
shall be a subsequent charge to provide for additional sewer capacity requirements. Refer to
Section V, Paragraph 1, Schedule No. 1.
c. Periodic Cost Adjustments. The sewer capacity charge for sewer
connections shall be adjusted as provided in this Ordinance to reflect the increased costs for
providing sewer service. Refer to Section V, Paragraph 1, Schedule No. 1.
2. Sewer capacity charges, as determined from time to time by the Board, apply to
all new connections and existing connections to which at any time sewer capacity is added to any
parcel for which the initial capacity charge has been previously paid. Capacity charge revenue is
used to pay for sewer facilities in existence at the time the charge is imposed or to pay for new
sewer facilities that will be constructed in the future that are of benefit to the person or property
being charged.
Ordinance No. 538 -12
Sewer Capacity Charge

3. Neither this Ordinance, nor payment of the capacity charges described in this
Ordinance, shall constitute approval of any capital project.
SECTION V —SEWER FEES, RATES AND SCHEDULES
1. Schedule No. 1 —
Sewer Capacity Fee, July 1, 2010 - $4,930.00
a. Periodic Adjustments: 16% on July 1, 2012, January 1, 2013, and January
1, 2014.
b. An amount equal to the Engineering News Records' construction cost
index, national average, for the prior twelve (12) month period,
commencing on January 1, 2015, and on January 1st of each subsequent
year.
SECTION VI — ADMINISTRATION
1. The effective date of this Ordinance is February 19, 2012.
2. The provisions of this Ordinance will be administered and enforced by the District
through the General Manager, who may delegate such enforcement to one or more employees of
the District.
3. Any applicant for sewer connection may appeal any District decision pertaining to
a sewer connection under this Ordinance to the Board by filing a written appeal with the Clerk of
the Board, within 10 days from the date of the action or decision. The Board may, in its
discretion, affirm, reverse, or modify any District action undertaken pursuant to this Ordinance.
SECTION VII — SEVERABILITY
If any section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this
Ordinance and its implementing rules and regulations is for any reason held to be
unconstitutional or invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of
this Ordinance or the Administrative Code. The Board of Directors declares and determines that
it would have passed section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase
thereof of this Ordinance and its implementing rules and regulations and the Administrative
Code irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, subdivisions,
paragraphs, sentences, clauses or phrases may be determined to be unconstitutional or invalid.
