PAG LIN
1 1 Section 1. Section 384.38, subsection 3, Code 1995, is
1 2 amended to read as follows:
1 3 3. A city may establish, by ordinance after notice and a
1 4 public hearing consistent with the requirements of section
1 5 384.50, one or more districts and schedules of fees for the
1 6 connection of property to the city sewer or water utility.
1 7 Each person whose property will be served by connecting to the
1 8 city sewer or water utility shall pay a connection fee to the
1 9 city. The ordinance shall be certified by the city and
1 10 recorded in the office of the county recorder of the county in
1 11 which a district is located. The connection fees are due and
1 12 payable when a utility connection application is filed with
1 13 the city. A connection fee shall not exceed the equitable
1 14 part of the total original cost to the city of extending the
1 15 utility to the properties within the district, less any part
1 16 of the cost which has been previously assessed or paid to the
1 17 city under this division IV. All fees collected under this
1 18 subsection shall be paid to the city treasurer. The moneys
1 19 collected as fees shall only be used for the purposes of
1 20 operating the utility, or to pay debt service on obligations
1 21 issued to finance improvements or extensions to the utility.
1 22 This subsection shall not be construed to require a city to
1 23 establish a special assessment district when connection to the
1 24 city sewer or water utility is requested by the person whose
1 25 property may be served by the connection.
1 26 EXPLANATION
1 27 This bill provides that a city is not required to establish
1 28 a special assessment district in order to connect a property
1 29 to city sewer or water utilities if the person whose property
1 30 will benefit from the connection requests that the sewer or
1 31 water be connected.
