I have reviewed the standard Developer Agreement, and under the Rates Provision of this Agreement, it is provided that the City may establish, amend or revise the rules and regulations covering water and sewer services to the Property, including the costs thereof. It is clear that the City may increase sewer connection fees to developers who have a Developer Agreement, under the terms of the Developer Agreement. The Rates Provision of the standard Developer Agreement states specifically: The City agrees that the rates to be charged to Developer and individual consumers of water and sewer services shall be those set forth by ordinance of the City. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agree- ment, the City may establish, amend or revise, from time to time, in the future, and enforce rules and regulations covering water and sewer services to the Property, including the costs thereof. PARKER, JOHNSON, OWEN, MCGUIRE, MICHAUD, LANG & KRUPPENBACHER, P.A. Mr. Richard Rozansky April 25, 1989 Page 2 Any such initial or future lower or increased rate schedules, and rules and regulations established, amended or revised and enforced by the City from time to time in the future, as provided by law, shall be binding upon Developer; upon any person or other entity holding by, through or under Developer; and upon any user or consumer of the water and sewer service provided to the Property by the City.

SEWER CONNECTION FEE INCREASE As you know we have increased our sewer connection fees in the recent past. The question is - Can we pass on the increase to those developers who have a developer agreement but have not as yet opted to utilize the allocation?

A connection fee report was not described as part of the original Scope of Services and is provided to the City because the Master Water and Wastewater Plans were completed within the budget and funds were available to provide this needed additional information. DEFINITION OF CONNECTION FEE Connection fees are one-time charges per equivalent residential unit (ERU) or gallon of usage for water and sewer improvements needed for expansion to serve new future users. They are generally separate fees for water and sewer which include all project costs such as construction, engineering, surveying, land, financing, and related administrative and legal costs. Connection fees include only facilities required for expansion and do not include upgrading improvements or changes required by new regulations. Because of changing legal requirements, it will be necessary for the City Attorney to review the latest legal aspects of connection fees and the methods used herein for connection fee calculation. PORTION OF PROJECT COSTS TO BE INCLUDED IN CONNECTION FEES All project costs associated with the construction, engineering, design, legal, administrative, interest, financing, and other appropriate costs to expand the . '. water and wastewater facilities to serve future users may be included in the water and wastewater connection fees. We have included these costs with the exception of interest and financing on the projected projects contained within the Master Water and Wastewater Plans. The City can elect to establish a connection fee schedule based upon some percentage of the calculated fee contained herein. Conklin, lri)' - 'orler and HolRtGas ~ ~ ENGINEERS. INC. a 500 w. FULTON STREET POST OFFICE BOX 1976 SANFORD, FLORIDA 32772-1976 TEL 407-322-6841 TEL 407-831-5717 FAX #407-330-0639 WATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS The existing water treatment facilities are generally adequate to serve existing customers and planned expansions will be constructed primarily to serve new growth. A Water System Master Plan was developed for the City in June 1987 and is the basis for projected water system improvements and expenditures. A brief review of the various expansion elements required for the 20-year planning period from 1987 to 2010 is provided below: 1) Construction of Wells #5 and #6 and Aerators (1988 & 1989) Additional wells were required to upgrade the system as described in the bond issue and purchase. Therefore, a portion of the cost for these facilities will not be allocated to the connection fees required. The total cost for well #5 including the well abandonment is approximately $140,000. The projected cost for well #6 is $100,000 and the aerators is $50,000 each. To meet existing needs, a capacity of 1750 gpm (875 gpm per plant) is needed. Presently, there are two wells with a capacity of 1100 each with no backup. Therefore, 875 gpm of each of the new wells were required to meet existing needs and backup requirements. The capacity of the new wells will be 2400 gpm and an allocation of 1525 gpm or 63.5% per well should be made to the connection fee. The present aerator capacity is 1800 gpm, which exceeds the present needs. The new aerators will have a capacity of 2600 gpm, which requires an allocation of 800 gpm capacity or 31% to the connection fee. 2) Ground Storage (1995 and 2005) Additional ground storage is required at both water treatment plants. These facilities are entirely for future growth and connections. The estimated cost including site piping is $470,000 arid has a 100% allocation . to the connection fee. Conklin, ~'.irt.r and Holmeu ~ [P) ENGINEERS, INC. a 500 W. FULTON STREET POST OFFICE BOX 1976 SANFORD, FLORIDA 32712-1976 TEL 407-322-6641 TEL 407-631-5717 FAX #407-330-0639 3) High Service Pumping (1997 and 2007) Additional high service pumping will be required at both water treatment plants. These facilities are entirely for future growth and connections. The estimated cost including piping is $60,000 and has a 100% allocation to the connection fee. 4. Ton Chlorination Facilities The existing chlorination facilities are inadequate to meet the future needs of the system. The systems must be expanded by providing ton chlorine cylinders, a beam balance scale, automatic switchover and larger capacity chlorinators. The existing system serves a population of 13,245 and will meet the needs thru 2010 at a population of 23,549. Therefore, the system will provide for a service population of 10,304 or 43.8%. The estimated cost of these improvements is $80,000 and has an allocation of $35,000. 5) Auxiliary Power The existing water system is equipped with auxiliary power via individual propane powered engines for the two wells and two high service pumps. This is adequate to meet existing needs only. New auxiliary power is proposed for both facilities capable of operating the entire facility. The allocation is identical to the ton chlorination system above or 43.8% of the total estimated cost of $100,000. 6) Distribution System Improvements are required to the distribution system to meet the future demands in newly developed areas. Since these impr:ovements are not necessary to provide the present customers with better service, 100% of these costs are allocated to the connection fee. Total estimated cost is approximately $148,800. .. Conklin, lh)" o>>rte, and Holme. @ ~ ENGINEERS, INC. a 500 W, FULTON STREET POST OFFICE BOX 1976 SANFORD. FLORIDA 32772-1976 TEL 407-322-6841 TEL 407-831-5717 FAX #407-330-0639 Effect on Water Connection Fee These facilities will service the additional population change to the year 2010 or approximately 10,304 people. The design per capita usage is 95 GPCD and yields 978,880 gallons of capacity. The estimated connection fee is equal to the projected costs divided by the projected benefit and equals approximately $0.96 per gallon. The current fee of $1.12 per gallon does not require adjustment as other factors such as bonding (or financing) and inflation have not been included in the cost estimates. A summary of the projected costs and allocations is shown on Table I. Additional detail on the items discussed above may be found in the Master Water Plan. WASTEWATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS The existing wastewater collection system and treatment facilities, upon completion of ongoing construction, will generally be adequate to serve existing customers. Expansion planned for the future will primarily be for future growth and, therefore, 100% of the projected costs will be allocated to connection fees where applicable. A Master Wastewater Plan was developed for the City in August 1987 and is the basis for projected wastewater system improvements and expenditures. A discussion of the expansion improvements required to serve the City through the year 2005 is provided below. 1) Wastewater Treatment The Winter Springs wastewater treatment facility has recently been upgraded to provide a public access level of treatment. This allows effluent to be used as an irrigation source within public access areas, i.e., golf courses and private residences, etc. In addition, the City, purchased a second .' package treatment plant increasing the biological treatment capacities of the facility to 3.0 MGD. The filtration, chlorination and sludge handling facilities will also be increased to.a treatment capacity of 3.0 MGD. The total projected costs for all proposed and ongoing treatment plant improvements are approximately $2,196,750 which will be totally allocated to connection fees.

Currently the effluent disposal capacity is 1.35 MGD. By the year 2010, the capacity will be 2.23 MGD and will exceed the need at that time by 0.23 MGD. All costs associated with developing new disposal sites are allocated to the connection fee. It was assumed that development of new effluent disposal sites would continue at the same cost to a capacity capability of 3.0 MGD. 3) Lift Stations The improvements needed to existing lift stations are not required until 1990. Since lift station 10 only requires modification due to new growth (rehabilitation is not required), 100% of the projected cost was allocated to the connection fee. The projected cost is $190,810. The equivalent capacity served between 1990 and 2010 is approximately 0.87 MGD. Other improvement costs were incidental and were not included in the connection fee analysis. WASTEWATER CONNECTION FEE The expansion improvements shown in Table II will provide additional wastewater treatment and disposal capacity. The table subdivides the wastewater system into three categories. We must assume that development of irrigation systems for effluent disposal will not decrease in cost per gallon. Therefore, the combination of all three categories is equivalent to the projected connection fee per gallon to increase the wastewater system to a capacity of three million gallons per day. The collection system (not including existing lift stations and forcemain improvements) required to serve the future growth is not included as part of the connection fee. The collection system ~ll be constructed by the individual property developers and connected to the existing system. The developers will also be required to provide any new lift stations to serve .. their properties. Conklin, lF1)' orter and Holmes @ ~ ENGINEERS. INC. a 500 W.

Such items may increase the projected costs and affect the projected connection fee. Corrections can be made in the future to compensate for these increases, if required. The figures contained within this report indicate that the connection fee for wastewater should be increased from the current $3.10 per gallon to approximately $6.30 per gallon to meet the future needs. CONNECTION FEE IMPLEMENTATION The City may consider the adoption of connection fee schedule using a percentage of the calculated fees presented herein. For general reference, Table IV presents current water and sewer connection/impact fees for other Central Florida Governments. Collection of these fees will occur over the planning period as each project is completed and capacity becomes available for sale. Collection will also be affected by the demand for new utility services by development. The program described within the Master Water and Wastewater Plans phases the construction, which provides the City with flexibility both for implementation and expenditures. Because several municipalities have experienced legal problems and challenges with the establishment of connection fees, proper implementation is very important as you are well aware. The methodology of fee calculation and the details of the implementation procedure should be given a careful legal review by the City Attorney. The City has an approved User Charge Ordinance, Ordinance No. 356, that was incorporated into the City Code after approval on December 8, 1986. We believe that modification to this ordinance may be appropriate to reflect any new connection fees adopted~. . Conklin, ~.. orter and Holmes @ [P) ENGINEERS, INC. a 500 W.
