PASSED by the City Council of the City of Owasso, Oklahoma on the 17th day of January, 2012. kr Doug. Honebrike. Mayor /s' Sherry Bishop, City Clerk es/ Julie Iembardi, Coy Attorney The City Wi .ut Limits. TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Owasso FROM: Angela Hess Finance Director SUBJECT: Meadowcrest Gravity Sewer Relief Line Assessment Fee DATE: January 13, 2012 BACKGROUND: In January 2011, The Owasso Public Works Authority awarded Ira M. Green Construction Company of Claremore the contract for construction of the Meadowcrest Gravity Sewer Relief Line. The project was implemented to facilitate expected residential and commercial growth in the northwest section of the city over the next 5 - 15 years. Additionally, the construction of the sewer relief line will reduce the possibility of wet weather sanitary sewer overflows in that part of the city. Funding for the project was a public /private partnership. The final cost of the project was $553,660 of which Owasso Land Trust contributed $180,000 for the added capacity to the system around the Maple Glen I and II Subdivisions. Alternatives were analyzed and considered in making the decision to build the Meadowcrest Gravity Sewer Relief Line. The decision was made to eliminate the lift station and construct a gravity sewer line to connect with the Ranch Creek Interceptor. As a result of the completion of this project the following benefits were realized: • Reduction of wet weather sanitary sewer overflows in the Hale Acres subdivision (per Consent Order No. 10 -036 provided by ODEQ • Access to the proposed gravity sewer relief line for approximately 408 non - developed acres • Provision for several access points for the Sports Park users • Elimination of electrical, mechanical, and maintenance costs currently associated with the Meadowcrest Lift Station • Increased capacity to established service areas This assessment fee differs from previous fees associated with earlier projects with mandatory assessment fees. The total cost of this project is not expected to be recovered through the assessment fee due to the fact improvements to the Meadowcrest lift station were needed to accommodate current residential and commercial property existing in the assessment area. Construction of the Meadowcrest Gravity Sewer Relief Line was completed on November 11, 2011. Final acceptance of the project and final payment was approved by the Owasso Public Works Authority Trustees on December 20, 2011. PROPOSAL: The City Council is being asked to approve an ordinance to establish an assessment area and mandatory assessment fee for properties that are within the assessment area and authorized to tie into the Meadowcrest Gravity Sewer Relief Line. Payment of this assessment fee will be mandatory and assessment fees will be due upon the approval of a final plat or connection to the sewer relief line. The complete drainage basin includes a total of 612 acres as depicted on the attached map. The Owasso Sports Park and the Meadowcrest addition are deducted from the assessment area acreage. Additionally, Maple Glen I and Maple Glen II additions and a 15 acre designated area, are deducted from the total 612 acres per the contract with Owasso Land Trust (OLT). Owasso Land Trust contributed $180,000 toward this project as part of an agreement between OLT and the City of Owasso for partial reimbursement of construction costs for the Meadowcrest Relief Sewer Line and partial exclusion from the payment of the proposed mandatory per acre assessment fee. The following is the breakdown of the excluded acreage: Tract Acres Complete Drainage Basin 612 Minus: Sports Park 79 Meadowcrest 50 Maple Glen 24 Maple Glen II 36 Designated Area 15 Total Remaining Assessment Area 408 Final cost of the project was $533,660, less the $180,000 contribution from Owasso Land Trust, resulting in final costs of $353,660. The total cost of the project includes the purchase of rights of way; construction costs; professional fees; and all other lawful and authorized fees. The mandatory assessment fee has been calculated to be $867 per acre. Existing single family residents located within the assessment, would be allowed to pay a onetime assessment fee of $867 to tap into the sewer line, regardless of the amount of acreage owned. Should the property owner decide to subdivide the acreage for future development, an assessment fee of $867 per acre would be mandatory per the proposed city ordinance. The primary objective in offering existing single family residents the opportunity to pay a flat fee for tapping into the sewer relief line is to encourage current septic system users to take advantage of this opportunity to become City of Owasso sewer customers. The flat fee would make it more affordable for existing single family residents to tap into the Meadowcrest Gravity Sewer Relief Line. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends City Council approval of Ordinance No. 1000 establishing the Meadowcrest Gravity Relief Sewer Line assessment area, and a mandatory per acre assessment fee in the amount of $867 for properties located within the complete drainage basin assessment area.
