City of Oroville says change SC-OR accord

From the Oroville Mercury Register:

City of Oroville management asked the City Council Tuesday to request changes in a developer agreement the wastewater treatment plant has been working on for six months.

An agreement between the Sewerage Commission-Oroville Region and developers was on the agenda for discussion at the meeting. City Attorney Dwight Moore said the agreement could be remedied by breaking it into two parts, so developers would know what they would have to pay for and how much it would cost before signing an agreement.

SC-OR has been crafting a capacity agreement for subdivisions with more than 20 dwelling units and annexations. The agreement would require developers to sign an agreement to pay for a capacity study and infrastructure necessary to provide wastewater treatment services to a proposed development or area annexed into the city limits.

SC-OR operates the wastewater treatment plant that serves the three-member agencies that collect wastewater and sewage. The city of Oroville, Lake Oroville Public Utility District and Thermalito Water and Sewer district belong to the joint powers Authority Agency.

Moore said the agreement, as written, would require developers to agree to pay for infrastructure before a capacity study determined what they would be paying for.
