AN ORDINANCE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
OF THE VALLECITOS WATER ®ISTRICT
MODIFYING WASTEWATER CAPITAL FACILITY FEES
IN CALENDAR YEAR 2008
AND REPEALING ORDINANCE NO: 150
BE IT ORDAINED by the Board of Directors of the Vallecitos Water District
("District") as follows:
Section 1. Declaration of Policy and Background. On July 6, 2005, the District's
Board of Directors adopted an updated Water, Wastewater, and Water Reclamation
Master Plan (°Updated Master Plan"). In May of 2008, District staff presented the draft
of the District's 2008/2009 Budget to all Committees of the District's Board of Directors.
The District used information provided in the Updated Master Plan and draft Budget to
prepare a fee study and calculate a wastewater capital fee structure that reflects the
cost of facilities in the District's 2008/2009 Capital Budget. The fee study analyzes
capital facilities needed by the District to serve the growing demands of new
development and increasing demands of existing customers.
A staff report was made available for public inspection and review ten (10) days
prior to a public meeting and notice was given in compliance with Government Code
section 66016.
The District, by this Ordinance, desires to modify the Wastewater Capital Facility
Fee Schedule in Calendar Year 2008 which reflects the costs taken from the District's
2008/2009 Budget.
The Board of Directors of the District considered modifying its Wastewater
Capital Facility Fee Schedule at a public meeting on June 18, 2008, in accordance with
Government Code section 66018.
Section 2 Findings. The Board of Directors of the District finds and
determines as follows:
(a) Purpose of the Fee. The purpose of the District's Wastewater
Capital Facility Fee is to provide an adequate wastewater conveyance and treatment
system to serve new development and additional demands from existing users within
the District's service area and to provide adequate funding for future construction of
facilities described in the Updated Master Plan and the District's Capital Budget.
Ordinance No. 158
Page 2
(b) Use of Fees. All wastewater capital facility fees as listed on the
Wastewater Capital Facility Fee Schedule, attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and
incorporated herein by reference, shall be used to finance construction of wastewater
facilities described in the Updated Master Plan and the District's Capital Budget.
(c) Relationship between Use of Fee and Type of Development.
Wastewater capital facility fees will be charged to new development and to existing
users with increased demands as measured by Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDU's),
which takes into consideration land use designations, type of use, and amount of flows.
(d) Relationship between Need for Capital Facilities and Type of
Project. The Board of Directors of the District finds and determines that, in order to
provide adequate wastewater service, all new development and existing users with
increased demands within the District's service area will require the capital facilities
specified in the Updated Master Plan and the District's Capital Budget.
(e) Relationship between Amount of Fee and Cost to Particular
Projects. The wastewater capital facility fee for each new development shall be based
upon the demand of a particular project on the District's wastewater system through the
analysis of type of use and flaws. Excepting residential customers, existing users will be
charged additional wastewater capital facility fees based on annual flow volumes. The
additional wastewater capital facility fees shall be based on the purchased capacity and
the increased demands as measured by EDU's of wastewater. The District finds and
determines that the Wastewater Capital Facility Fee Schedule insures that each user
will pay a fair share of new facility construction based upon actual demand upon the
wastewater system.
(f) Environmental Review. In accordance with the California
Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15061, the Board of Directors ordains that
the capital facility fees established by this Ordinance are exempt from CEQA for the
following reasons:
The capital facility fees are not a "project" as defined by Guidelines
Section 15378;
2. The project is exempt in accordance with Guidelines Section
15273(1), 15273(3), and 15274(4); and
3. The activity will not have any significant impact upon the
environment pursuant to Guidelines Sections 15061(b)(3).
The Board of Directors of the District orders and directs that the foregoing
exemptions and reasons be made a part of the Notice of Exemption and that the Notice
of Exemption be filed with the County Clerk of the County of San Diego.
Ordinance No. 158
Paae 3
(g) Cost Estimates. The cost estimates set forth in the Master Plan
Update and the District's Capital Budget are reasonable estimates for the capital
facilities shown and the development fees expected to be generated by new
demand will not exceed a total of these estimated costs.
h) Growth and Population Projections. Given the historic growth rates
of the District and the cyclical nature of new demand, District staff shall annually
examine the relationship between growth projections, capacity planned, and capacity in
the current system. The rate of growth shall be annually considered and the fees
analyzed so the proper level of fees are in place to capture the appropriate revenues
based on a reasonable relationship between the growth and the necessary service
facilities.
Section 3. Segregated Accounts and their Accounting. The District has
established separate accounts in its accounting records segregating wastewater
capacity fee revenue and related interest accrued thereon from other revenue and funds
of the District. For each separate account, the District's Finance Officer shall, within one
hundred eighty (180) days after the last day of each fiscal year, make available to the
public and present to the District's Board of Directors a written report containing all of
the information required by Government Code section 66006(b)(1).

2. Fees are based upon the amount of the increased demand as measured by Equivalent Dwelling Units
(EDUs) of 250 gallons per day (GPD) of wastewater.
3. Each applicant for service is subject to analysis of land use, size of property, and type of use for
capacity determination and fee calculation, with minimum capacity of one EDU. The fee for residential
use is determined using the chart below. The fee calculation for non - residential use may be based on
an analysis using Master Plan criteria and /or the currently adopted average flow schedule by use
category as incorporated in the monthly service charge schedule. The applicant may submit
information to be considered in the capacity determination.
4. Fees are owed, due, and payable at the time application is made to connect to the wastewater system,
or upon billing additional capacity, and prior to commitment by the District for service. To assure
availability for proper planning and to meet obligations incurred by the District to develop additional
capacity in the wastewater system in a timely manner, all capital facility fees are non - refundable.
5. Following commencement of service, other than service for residential use, the account will be
monitored for flow volume. If the flow exceeds the purchased capacity based on the most recent
twelve -month average, the payment or lease a (if qualified), of additional capital facility fees may be
required. Unless determined otherwise, all water entering the property through the water meter or from
an on -site water source is assumed to reach the wastewater system.
6. The monthly lease charge for each user participating in the Sewer Capital Facility Lease Program shall
be based on the impact to and use of the District's capital sewer facilities and shall be calculated as a
product of metered water at the currently adopted rate as adjusted automatically per Section 7 of this
Ordinance No 158. The current rate per GPD is $38.06 ($9,515 / 250 GPD). The monthly lease charge
rate shall be determined by the following formula: Monthly Capacity Lease Rate = 1/180 x GPD x
current GPD rate x 1.15 for administration and interest.
7. The District will adjust fees on January 1 of each calendar year based on the annual percent change
in the Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index.
