Prior to the adoption of 13.24.030 on 01/20/2003, Section 13.24.030 read as follows.
If the city council finds that it is in the public interest
to assist a sponsor in recoupment of
private funds expended for construction of sanitary sewerage and/or water facilities, the city
council shall make and enter into a recoupment agreement with the property owner for
construction of the facilities within the facility planning area of the city, to serve the area in
which the property of the sponsor (the "sponsoring property") is located and other areas located
within the facility planning area of the city. Once made and entered into, the recoupment contract
shall be filed with the recorder of each county in which the city s facility planning area is
located in order to notify persons interested in connecting to or using the facilities that there will
be a charge in relation thereto. Said contract shall also provide for the dedication of the facilities
to the city for public use upon completion of the construction of the same in compliance with the
codes and ordinances of the city, and acceptance thereof by the city. Said contract shall further
provide for reimbursement to the sponsor of a proportionate share pf the total cost of such
construction from beneficiaries located in the city s facility planning area who directly or
indirectly tap-in to or use the sewerage facility to deposit waste water therein or use the water
facilities to draw water therefrom. Such recoupment shall be paid to such sponsor based upon the
schedule of payments set forth in the recoupment contract between the city and the sponsor. Such
contract may also provide that the city, at the expense of the sponsor, will assist in the
acquisition of necessary rights-of-way by the exercise of the city s power of eminent domain to
the extent the same is allowed by law. The contract may include such other terms and conditions
as are approved by the city council. (Ord. 1754 § 1 (part), 1999)
