sewer utility.If a property owner/developer of residential
property is required to install a water main with a diameter in
excess of 8 inches or a sewer main with a diameter in excess of 10
inches,and if the purpose for such oversizing is to provide for
future extension of said main to adjacent properties within the
utility service area,and not merely to meet the needs of the
property responsible for constructing said main,the City may
reimburse said property owner for the difference in material costs
incurred solely by reason of the oversizing requirement.No such
reimbursement shall be made except upon the following:complete
installation of the water or sewer main and approval of the same
by the City Engineer:a submittal of a bill of sale and warranty
for the water or sewer main to the City:certification of the
oversizing costs,with such verification from the material
supplier and contractor as the City Engineer may require:approval

or its assigns,for the costs of such construction,including the
costs of engineering and design work,and all costs of labor and
materials reasonably incurred.Such contracts shall be governed
by the following provisions:
(a)Within 60 days after a utility line is accepted by the
City and a bill of sale/warranty is filed with respect to the
same,the proponent of the recovery contract shall submit a
request for the same,using a form supplied by the City,together
with supporting documentation showing all costs incurred in the
project.
(b)An assessment area shall be formulated based upon a
determination by the City as to which parcels of real estate
adjacent to the utility line will be directly benefitted by the
same.
23
,.~-.::;,.'.1.".~.,'"~-.'.'.
(c)The reimbursement share of all property owners in the
assessment area shall be the prorata share of the total cost'of
the project,less any contributions paid by the City.Each
reimbursement share shall be determined by using a method of cost
apportionment which is based upon the benefit received by each
property from the project.This will generally be prorated on a
front footage basis.There shall be no reimbursement to the
proponent for the share of the benefits which are allocated to its
property.
(d)A preliminary determination of the area boundaries and
assessments,along with a description of the property owners'
rights and obligations,shall be forwarded by certified mail to
the property owners of record within the proposed assessment area.
If any property owner requests a hearing in writing within 20 days
of mailing of the preliminary determination,a hearing shall be
held before the City Council,notice of which shall be given to
all affected property owners.The City Council's ruling shall be
determinative and final.
(e)The contract,upon approval by the City Council,shall
be recorded in the records of the Snohomish County Auditor within
30 days of such approval.The recorded contract shall constitute
a lien against all real property within the assessment area which
did not contribute to the original cost of the utiliity project.
(f)If,within a period of ·15 years from the date the
contract was recorded,any property within the assessment area
applies for connection to the utility line,the lien for payment
of the property's proportionate share shall become immediately due
.and payable to the City as a condition of receiving connection
approval.
(g)All assessments collected by the City pursuant to a
recovery contract shall be paid to the original proponent,its
personal representative,successors or assigns,within 30 days
after receipt by the City,less an administrative charge of $50.00
for each collection.
(h)At the termination of the IS-year recovery period,the
lien shall continue,but all collections thereafter shall be for
the benefit of the City and shall be deposited in the City's
utility fund.
(i)Nothing in this section,nor any provision in a recovery
contract,shall be construed as establishing the City as a public
utility in areas not already connected to the City's utility
system:nor shall this section,or any recovery contract,be
construed as establishing express or implied rights for any
property owner to connect to the City's utility system without
24
"'\i--!'-!;';..,"
first qualifying for such connection by compliance with all
applicable City codes and ordinances.
EFFECTIVE DATE OF ORDINANCE.This ordinance shall become
