CODE: G TYPE: CONSENT PUBLIC HEARING: NO
SUBJECT:   Adopt Ordinance to Establish the Sewer Per Acre Charge in the Amount of $561.31 Per Acre for a Sewer Main Extension to Serve 6,274.62 Acres (Skyline Ranch and Walnut Creek) located at 6601 Longvue Ave (FM 2871) and to Establish the Basin Boundaries, Pursuant to Chapter 35, Article III, Division 3, Sections 35-81 through 35-86 of the City Code (ETJ and COUNCIL DISTRICT 3)

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached ordinance to establish $561.31 as the sewer per acre charge for the Skyline Ranch and Walnut Creek sewer main extension project, and to establish the basin boundary for this per acre charge in accordance with Chapter 35, Water and Sewer, Article III, Division 3, Section 35-81 through 35-86 of the City Code.

 
DISCUSSION:

This Mayor and Council Communication is to amend the previous established per acre charge boundary (M&C G-18541) for sewer main extensions to serve Skyline Ranch and Walnut Creek drainage basin (Ordinance No. 21843-08-2015). The purpose of this amendment is to include areas to be served by the Ventana Lift Station (M&C C-28780) which will transport effluent to gravity sewer main S-16590 located in the Walnut Creek drainage basin.  The existing Skyline Ranch and Walnut Creek per acre boundary is increasing from 4,962.03 acres to 6,274.62 acres as depicted on the drainage map attached to the ordinance.

The qualified costs are outlined below and remain unchanged from the previously established per acre charge:

The gross acreage of the sewer sub-basin is 6,274.62 acres.  By dividing the costs above by the number of acres in the sewer basin, the per-acre charge for the revised Skyline Ranch and Walnut Creek sewer extension is $561.31 per acre. The previously adopted sewer per acre charge (M&C G-18541) was $710.00 per acre. The increase in acreage reduces the per acre charge to $561.31. There is no restriction to the time period for the reimbursement to the Fort Worth Water Department.

This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
 
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:

The Director of Finance certifies that the establishment of this per acre fee will allow the city to recapture costs associated with the capital investment in sewer lines. Upon approval, the Water Department has the responsibility to collect fees under this ordinance.
