Purpose. From time to time the City deems it to be in the best interest of the City and its residents to finance certain public improvements or service through a special service area. When such a determination has been made, it is appropriate and desirable to establish a method by which those property owners that are not included within the original special service area but seek the use or benefit of the facilities or services financed through such special service area pay an equitable share of the establishment or maintenance of such facilities or services (a "special service").
Fees. Any property owner seeking to use or benefit from a special service financed through a special service area is required to either be part of such special service area or to pay a participation fee as a prerequisite to use of the special service. The participation fee shall be calculated as follows:
Base Fee + [(Base Fee x Interest) x Time] = Participation Fee
"Base Fee" is total divided by participants, unless another appropriate value is determined by the City Council;
"Interest" is the maximum rate of interest that may be charged for any bonds issued for the special services or 1.0%, whichever is greater;
"Participants" is the total number of original participants in the special service area;
"Term" is 120% of the maximum maturity period for bonds issued in connection with a special service area;
"Time" is the number of years that have elapsed from the bond issue date to the payment of the participation fee, but in no event shall the time exceed the term; and
"Total" is the total principal amount of bonds to be issued for the special services.
Applicability. Participation fees shall be charged throughout the duration of the term against any person or property prior to connection to or use of any special services financed through a special service area, where such person or property was not included in such special service area.
Allocation of participation fees. To the extent participation fees are collected while taxes are still being levied against the participants for payment of special service area bonds, such participation fees shall be used to equitably abate future tax payments on such bonds. If participation fees are collected after taxes are no longer being levied against participants to retire bonds, the participation fees shall be allocated to a participation fee fund for five years after all bonds for the special service area have been retired (the "holding period"). The participation fee fund shall be used for ongoing expenses related to the special service area and the special services. After the holding period, the monies in the participation fee fund shall be reallocated to the City's general fund or such other fund as the City Council determines is in the best interests of the residents.
Editor's Note: Section 14 of this ordinance directed the City Manager to transfer any participation fees that have been held for more than five years to the City's general fund.
