"28.1 On a quarterly basis, Customer agrees to pay to Fort
Worth a Wholesale System Access Fee for each new or enlarged
connection for wastewater service made within Customer's service
area served by the General Benefit capital facilities of the Fort
Worth System. The Wholesale System Access Fee to Customer for each
such connection shall be based upon the size of water meter and
shall be equal to the Wholesale System Access Fee collected for the
same size water meter made within the jurisdiction of Fort Worth.
The calculation of said access fee shall be consistent with all
applicable state and federal regulations, and shall include only
those costs associated with General Benefit capital expansions and
capital improvements necessary to provide service to new
development. Nothing within this contract shall be deemed to
prevent either Fort Worth or Customer from charging their own
retail customers impact fees in excess of the Wholesale System
Access Fee charge provided for herein.
"28.2 Fort Worth agrees that all monies remitted to it
pursuant to this Section will be placed in a separate interest
bearing account to pay only for the cost of constructing those
types of capital improvements or facility expansions as permitted
by Chapter 395, Texas Local Gov_ernmen_t___Code, or any amendment
thereto, or by any successor statute thereto, and will not be used
for operation and maintenance expenses. Once expended, such funds
M
and all interest earned thereon will be considered a "contribution"
for rate setting purposes only.
"28.3 Customer shall provide to Fort Worth such information
that relates to the making of new and/or enlarged connections
within its jurisdiction as may be requested by the Director,
including but not limited to building permits, with each quarterly
payment required in this section.
"28.4 Neither Fort Worth nor Customer shall waive any impact
fee due from a retail customer for a new or enlarged connection to
its respective system within its jurisdiction. However, either
Fort Worth or Customer may pay such impact fee into the fund
required for paying for the capital improvements.
"28.5 The Wastewater System Advisory Committee created
pursuant to Section 29 hereof shall select five (5) of its members
to a subcommittee to be known as the Customer Impact Fee Committee
(CIFC). Every three years, beginning June, 1992, the CIFC shall
submit a list of five qualified engineers or planning consultants
to the Director. The Director shall select a consultant from such
list to assist Fort Worth in developing land use assumptions,
identifying capital improvements, and formulating capital
improvement plans and access fees. The consultant shall be
responsible to Fort Worth and its citizen's advisory committee,
but shall also report to the CIFC. The cost of the consultant
shall be deemed a System Cost. In the event the CIFC fails to
submit a list of five consultants to Fort Worth, Fort Worth shall
select a consultant to perform in the manner described herein.
4
"28.6 Fort Worth agrees that only those capital improvements
as defined in section 1.29 hereof shall be included in the capital
improvements plan for the purpose of determining Wholesale System
Access Fees; provided, however, Fort Worth may include other
capital improvements for the purpose of determining impact fees to
its own retail customers. Fort Worth shall not be required to
include all such capital improvements in the plan. The CIFC shall
be responsible for working with Fort Worth and its consultant to
determine the capital improvements to be included in the
calculation of any Wholesale System Access Fees. The CIFC shall
recommend to the Wastewater System Advisory Committee which capital
improvements should be included in the calculation of any Wholesale
System Access Fees. The CIFC shall also meet with Fort Worth's
citizen advisory committee as such citizen's advisory committee
reviews and considers land use assumptions, the capital
improvements plan and impact fees.
"28.7 Prior to the adoption of any land use assumptions,
capital improvements, or access fees, the CIFC shall be furnished
a copy of the proposed capital improvement plan or fees at least
30 days prior to any scheduled hearing thereon.
"28.8 Each ,year Fort Worth shall provide to the Wholesale
Wastewater Advisory Committee an audited financial statement of the
Fort Worth Water Department's records.
"28.9 For the period of time from the date of execution
hereof until June 5, 1993, Customer agrees to pay to Fort Worth
Wholesale Wastewater Access Fees per new connection based upon the
5
size of the water meter, such fees to be equal to or less than
those amounts set forth in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and
incorported herein for all intents and purposes. The actual
Wholesale System Access Fee to be paid by Customer shall be
determined by the City Council of Fort Worth. After June 5, 1993,
Customer agrees to pay access fees in such amounts as may be
determined in the manner provided elsewhere herein."
"28.10 Fort Worth and Customer agree that the methodology for
the calculation of Wholesale System Access Fees required herein is
consistent with the methodology prescribed by Chapter 395, Texas
Local Government Code. In the event that such statutory methodology
is amended or replaced by a new statute, the Wholesale Wastewater
Advisory Committee may engage legal counsel to work with Fort Worth
to propose amendments to this contract to conform it to such
amendment or new statute. The reasonable cost of such legal
counsel shall be system cost."
