MEMORANDUM
February 11, 1988
TO: INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS COMMITTEE
FROM: J. DALE HAWLEY, INTERIM CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: NORTHWEST BAKERSFIELD SEWER SERVICE
Previously the Council Committee recommended no City sewers without
annexation. This was later modified to allow sewer service without
annexation if the County agrees with the following provisions:
1. Stop urban sprawl.
2. Limit development to one house per 20 acres.
3. City to handle all development inside the City's sphere.
4. CSA 71 be placed Outside the City's sphere.
I agree with what the Committee was trying to accomplish. I agree in
theory, but as a practical matter with conditions as they presently
exist, the County cannot and will not accept these provisions.
Therefore, I recommend the following:
1. The developed areas within the City's sphere be allowed to
connect to the City's sewer by an agreement with the County.
The applicable connection and user fees be applied. In lieu
of a user surcharge, the County handle all billing and
collection costs plus administration fees (this arrangement
is similar to agreements with East Niles Community Services
District, Union Avenue Ssanitation District, and Alta Verde
Sanitation District).
2. Undeveloped areas within the City's sphere be served by the
City upon request for annexation.
In addition, I also recommend for the island areas that we allow
connection to City sewers if the applicant signs a sewer rental
agreement agreeing to annex when feasible. This will require a
revision to our existing agreement forms.
