Background/Discussion Council completed a draft review of the 2010 fee schedule on October 19. Council requested a clarification on the definition of SAC units for the City of Rogers when a development fee comparison for surrounding communities was reviewed. Following are comments from the economic development director: "Rogers applies their SAC fees for Commercial/Industrial uses at a rate of $4,300 for the first unit, lus $1,850 for each additional unit. Rogers specifically defines a unit of sewage volume as 100,000 gallons per year. In Elk River the units are established in the City's ordinance by estimated usage and diffexent variables like square footage, seats, beds, rooms, etc. depending on the specific facility use. For example: 20,000sf office building Office facility 8.33units - 1 unit per 2,400sf Elk River @ $4,079/unit = $33,978 SAC Charge Rogers @ $4,300 first unit + $1,850/additional unit = $17,860 SAC Charge" The only changes to the fee schedule since the October 19 meeting are as follows: The fee for agricultural animals in the R1a and Al districts (chickens) was set at $150. This was approved by Council at the November 16 meeting. WAC fee increased by Elk River Municipal Utilities from $2,000 to $2,500 per WAC unit.
