Resolution to Establish Additional Sewer Connection Charges for Redmond Town Center Area Sewer Improvements
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
Public Works is requesting Council approval of a Resolution to establish Additional Sewer Connection Charges (ACCs) for properties within the Redmond Town Center area. These charges will enable the City to recover costs associated with sewer infrastructure improvements required to support anticipated growth outlined in the Redmond 2050 Comprehensive Plan.
To accommodate this growth, the City will undertake critical sewer system upgrades, including the upsizing of Lift Station #17 and associated sewer mains. While these improvements were identified as "Developer-Funded" in the 2024 General Sewer Plan, the City is proactively funding the work to help remove redevelopment barriers in the area. ACCs will ensure equitable cost recovery from parcels that directly benefit from these upgrades.
The total estimated project cost is $20.8 million. Charges will be assessed at the parcel level based on parcel size and the proportional benefit received. The proposed Resolution also includes provisions for cost reconciliation: property owners will receive refunds if actual project costs are lower than estimated; however, no additional charges will be imposed if actual costs exceed projections.
