As a result of this testimony, Council chose to defer action on the ordinance until a future <br />date. Deferral of Council action on the ordinance affects the implementation of revisions <br />to the local wastewater SDC as originally proposed and noted in Finding B above. Staff <br />therefore has recommended deferral of all proposed revisions specific to the local <br />wastewater SDC and Exhibit A hereto has been revised to reflect this change. <br />E. Oral comments were made during the 30-day public comment period provided <br />for the preliminary Administrative Order. Findings on comments specific to the proposed <br />revisions to the local wastewater SDC will be deferred. In response to comments made <br />about the remaining amendments proposed by Administrative Order No. 58-99-7 6, I make <br />the following specific findings: <br />Comments on revision to the regional (MWMC) wastewater -SDC: <br />Concerning the regional wastewater SDC rate table: the medical office description <br />should be revised to category 65, the car wash description category should be <br />revised to 6B, and categories of laundry (6A), Clothing/DryGoods/Housewares (5X), <br />Other Services (62), Automotive and Other Repair (64), Construction Trade <br />Services (66), Other Educational/Cultural (68), and Other Entertainment (7X) should <br />be added. <br />Findings: The medical office description has been listed within category 65, <br />the carwash category has been listed as 6B, and the other categories have been <br />added as noted. <br />Comment on inflationary adjustments to the transportation, stormwater, <br />and parks SDCs: The inflationary adjustments should be represented in the <br />formula and calculation details of each system in order to provide clarity to the <br />resultant rate adjustments. <br />Finding: The formula and calculation details of each affected system have <br />been revised to actually reflect the cost basis of the resultant rate adjustments as <br />proposed. As a result, mathematical rounding will revise the resultant rates, from <br />original rates posted, by pennies. In addition, some existing duplication of this <br />information has been deleted. <br />Comment on description of Systems Development Charge: Provide <br />further refinement of the description of Systems Development Charge. <br />Finding: The description has been revised to state that SDCs are used to <br />fund that portion of the cost of constructing eligible infrastructure needed to respond <br />to growth impacts in the community and where applicable to recoup a portion of the <br />community's investment in the infrastructure already in place. <br />Comment on exemptions: The specific reference to the transportation SDC <br />Administrative Order - 2 <br />r:\adminord\fees\99sdc2ao 1.wpd(09/09/99) <br />
