Reso 1441 02/2014RESOLUTION NO. 1441
RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE
VALLECITOS WATER DISTRICT RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. 1343
AND ESTABLISHING DISTRICT POLICY
RELATING TO THE TIMING OF COLLECTION
OF WATER AND WASTEWATER CAPITAL FACILITY FEES
WHEREAS, the Vallecitos Water District ( "District') currently requires that all fees
and charges are paid prior to Board approval of Development Agreements; and Water and
Wastewater Capital Facility Fees are paid at the time building permits are issued.
WHEREAS, the development community has raised concerns thatthe current policy
of payment prior to building permit issuance increases building expense due to interest
costs. Modifying the time when the Water and Wastewater Capital Facility Fees are
collected will result in reduced development and end purchaser costs.
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors finds that it will serve the best interests of the
District to establish a policy of collecting Water and Wastewater Capital Facility Fees prior
to final building inspection and /or utility release.
WHEREAS, the Water and Wastewater Capital Facility Fees shall be due and
payable in full prior to water and sewer service being established and the water services
shall remain locked until payment is received.
WHEREAS, Water and Wastewater Capital Facility Fees shall be based upon the
District Ordinance in affect at the time fees are collected and service is established.
Service shall only be provided through facilities accepted by the District Board of Directors.
WHEREAS, the San Diego County WaterAuthority ( SDCWA) Water Capital Facility
Fee shall be based upon the SDCWA policy in effect at the time the fees are collected.
SDCWA policy currently requires collection of SDCWA fees concurrent with the Vallecitos
Capital Facility Fees.
WHEREAS, issuance of a building permit does not reserve, ensure or entitle the
developer or applicant to either water or sewer service in the future. Service shall be
provided in accordance with all policies in effect at the time Water and Wastewater Capital
Facility Fees are paid and committed.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Directors of the Vallecitos
Water District that the timing of payment of Water and Wastewater Capital Facility fees
