ORDINANCE NUMBER 94-9628
AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING EAST DRY CREEK INTERCEPTOR
CAPITAL RECOVERY CHARGES BY ADDING SECTIONS 41-74 THROUGH 41-76
TO ARTICLE III OF CHAPTER 41 OF THE SALINA CODE, AMENDING SALINA
CODE SECTION 41-71.1 AND REPEALING THE EXISTING SECTION.
BE IT ORDAINED by the Governing Body of the City of Salina,
Kansas:
follows:
Section 1. That Salina Code Section 41-71.1 is amended to read as
Sec. 41-71.1 Sewer connection permits and fees.
(a) Prior to the issuance of any permits for any connections with
the sewer mains or laterals of the City and in addition to any other
fees or charges assessed pursuant to this chapter, the following fees
shall be paid:
(1) For each connection for the use of property included within the
boundaries of the city since January 1, 1950, if such property
has never since January 1, 1950, and is not now in any
wastewater benefit district of the city, the sum of five hundred
dollars ($500.00) .
(2) For each connection for the use of property not within the city
limits and not in any wastewater benefit district of the city,
the sum of seven hundred fifty dollars ($750.00) .
(3) No fee shall be required for connections of the use of property
located in a wastewater benefit district of the city.
Section 2. That Article III of Chapter 41 of the Salina Code is
amended by adding the following sections:
Sec. 41-74. Legislative findings.
The governing body finds that:
(1) Pursuant to K.S.A. 12-860, the governing body of the city is
authorized to establish charges for the use of the sewage
disposal system as shall be reasonable and sufficient to pay the
cost of extension and enlargement of the system, and the
payment of any bonds and the interest thereon as may be issued
for such sewage system.
(2) The city has constructed
the East
Dry Creek Interceptor which
removes Sewer Plant No.
2 from
service, provides
substantial
reserve capacity for the
growth areas to the south
and east of
the city, and allows transfer
of service areas
from the
essentially fully loaded
Southeast
Interceptor and
East Side
Interceptor service areas.
(3) The proportion of the East Dry Creek Interceptor capacity
attributable to future flow capacity has been calculated by the
city's consulting engineers to be 66.15 percent. The total East
Dry Creek Interceptor project cost of $6,960,000 with a 5.14
percent, twenty (20) year bond issue results in a total project
cost including debt service of $11,221,000. Consequently,
$7,422,700 in capital costs and debt service are attributable to
the future flow capacity of the East Dry Creek Interceptor.
(4) The public interest is best served by the assessment of a
capital recovery charge to assure that future development bears
its proportionate share of the cost of the future flow capacity
of the East Dry Creek Interceptor.

(5) The report entitled "East Dry Creek Interceptor Capital
Recovery Charges, Briefing Document", dated February 14,
1994, sets forth a reasonable methodology and analysis for the
determination of a fair and reasonable capital recovery charge
based upon the new user's consumption of the future flow
capacity of the East Dry Creek Interceptor. The capital
recovery charge is to be paid as part of the user's monthly
water and sewer utility bill over a period of ten (10) years or,
at the election of the owner of a new single family residence,
in a lump sum based upon estimated consumption for a single
family residence.
Sec. 41.75. Imposition of charge.
Any person who, after the effective date of this ordinance,
seeks to connect to the city's sewerage system to service a new
free-standing building or use on either:
(1) a tract within the city limits that was unplatted as of the
effective date of this ordinance; or
(2) a lot or tract that was outside the city limits as of the
effective date of this ordinance
and which is in an area serviced by the Southeast Interceptor, the
East Side Interceptor, or the East Dry Creek Interceptor, as shown
on the map attached to this ordinance as Table 1, shall be required
to pay a capital recovery charge as set forth in the East Dry Creek
Interceptor Capital Recovery Charge Schedule attached to this
ordinance as Table 2.
Sec. 41.76. Payment of charge.
Prior to the issuance of any permits for any connections with
the sewer mains or laterals of the city for any single family
residence located on any lot or tract subject to the capital recovery
charge provided for in Sec. 41-75, the applicant must either elect
and pay the applicable lump sum charge or elect to pay the applicable
monthly charge which shall commence upon the initiation of service
and shall continue each month for a period of ten (10) years. In the
case of all other users subject to the capital recovery charge, the
applicable monthly charge shall commence upon the initiation of
service and shall continue each month for a period of ten (10) years.
Section 3. That the existing Section 41.71.1 is hereby repealed.
Section 4. This ordinance shall be published once in the official
city newspaper and shall be effective April 15, 1994.
