RESOLUTION NO. 2001-059 <br /> <br />A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CiTY OF <br />SANTA ANA SETTING THE AMOUNT OF THE SEWER <br />SERVICE FEE ESTABLISHED PURSUANT TO SECTION <br />39-55 OF THE SANTA ANA MUNICIPAL CODE AND <br />ADDING SAID FEE TO THE MISCELLANEOUS FEE <br />SCHEDULE <br /> <br />bk:8/27/01 <br /> <br /> BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS <br />FOLLOWS: <br /> <br /> Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines <br />and declares as follows: <br /> <br />On May 21, 2001 the City Council was presented, at a study session, with <br />evidence demonstrating that large portions of the City's sewerage system, <br />located in no one area but citywide, is of sufficient age that it is need of <br />additional and extraordinary repair and replacement. <br /> <br />The City currently does not levy a fee or charge for the service of <br />transporting sewerage. This service is a commodity in that the more water <br />a water customer consumes the greater the sewerage that the customer <br />generates. <br /> <br />The City's Charter and State law, including but not limited to Government <br />Code section 54340 et seq., provide that the City may establish <br />reasonable charges and fees for the service the City provides in <br />transporting sewerage to the Orange County publicly owned treatment <br />works and related infrastructure. <br /> <br />A fee for this service would not duplicate any existing fee, charge, levy or <br />other toll currently collected by the City or any public agency, and would <br />be distinct and separate from any current or future (i) sewer standby or <br />availability charge or assessment, (ii)special benefit assessment of <br />special tax imposed pursuant to state or local law, (iii) sewer connection <br />charge or sewer capacity charge paid in connection with or as a condition <br />of approving an application for sewer service, or (iv) any mitigation fee <br />imposed on new development pursuant to state law (Government Code <br />§ 66000 et seq.) or local law. <br /> <br />This fee would not be charged, because no sewerage service is being <br />provided, to raw land, vacant property (i.e., where no water service is being <br />provided), to a customer who is consuming no water, to a water customer <br /> <br />Resolution No, 2001-059 <br /> Page 1 of 7 <br /> <br /> <br />
