DIVISION 7. SEWER USE USER GLASSIFICATIQN RATES AND CHARGES.
Section 22.176. Revenue Generation System Established.
A revenue generation system is hereby created which shall be
designed to produce adequate revenue for the following:
(a) Operation and maintenance (including replacement of equipment,
accessories, or appurtenances during the design life of all treatment
works necessary to maintain design capacity and performance) of the
sewage system, and
(b) A sewage system capital improvement account to accumulate the
equivalent future value of the grant amount as adjusted for inflationary
cost increases. For the purpose of this requirement, accumulation of
the equivalent future value of the grant amount shall mean total revenue
collections and appreciation of such amount . Sewage system shall mean
municipal sanitary sewage facilities; capital improvements shall not
include the replacement or repair of equipment, accessories, or
appurtenances necessary to maintain design capacity and performance
during the design life of all treatments works. However, capital
improvement may include such repair and replacement if they are a part
of a treatment plant or pumping station capacity expansion, or upgrade
necessary to meet more stringent effluent limitations required by a
regulatory agency, or are necessitated as the result of man-made or
natural disasters.
Section 22.177. Disposition of Revenues for Sewage System Capital
Improvements.
Deposits and withdrawals from the revenue generation sewage system
capital improvement account shall be governed by the following
provisions:
(1) Revenue shall be deposited annually (or, at the municipality's
election, on a more frequent basis) into the sewage system capital
improvement account not later than the end of each one-year period
beginning with the date of initiation of operation of the complete grant
funded treatment works. The annual deposits (plus investment income)
are intended to accumulate the equivalent future value (based on the
projected annual inflation rate of 7.8%) of the grant amount during the
design life of the grant funded project The amount of the required
yearly deposit shall be determined according to the following formula:
1. G = 834,785
DL = 20 years
i = 7.8%
D = Required yearly deposit
D = G X i(l+i)DL
(l+i)DL-1
D = 834,785 .078(1+.078)20
(1+.078)20-1
D = 834,785 .078(4.4913326)
4.4913326-1
D = 834,785 .3503239
3.4913326
D = 834,785 X .10034
D = /83,762/yr, rounded down
D =• 6,980/mo.
Where: D equals the amount of the total yearly deposit
G equals the grant amount
DL equals the design life in years of the grant funded project
i equals the projected annual inflation rate which is set
at 7.8%
4' Revenue may also be deposited on other than an annual basis provided the
total amount deposited is equal to, or greater than, the sum of the
deposits required at that time. Prepayments to the account or
allowable.
The City may terminate deposits to the account when the sum of all
deposits exceeds (or is equal to) the amount determined by multiplying
DL by D where DL and D are as described above.
Section 22-177. Use of Accrued Funds.
The accrued funds shall be used only for sanitary sewer system
capital improvements and may be withdrawn and used any time for this
purpose. Since such withdrawn funds represent previously collected
revenues (and income earned thereon) the amount of withdrawn funds need
not be replaced or returned to the capital improvement account.
Section 22-178. Certification of Revenue Generation System.
The City shall submit to the Bureau of Wastewater Management, State
of Florida, for each fiscal year, certification by a certified public
accountant, that the sewage system capital improvement account is
maintained in accordance with the requirements of the State.
Section 22-179. Annual Deposit to Sewage System Capital Improvement
Account.
4110
The City will deposit annually (or more often at the City's option)
into a sewage system capital improvement account the amount of money
required by the revenue generation system formula described above. It
is the intent of the City to provide these funds from impact fees but
should impact fees be insufficient the City shall have the option of
increasing the impact fees or transferring money from the regular user
charges provided herein.
Section 4. This ordinance shall take effect as provided by law.
