MEMORANDUM
TO: Village Council
FROM: Thomas G. Bradford, Village Manager �c
DATE: April 21, 1989
SUBJECT: Ordinance Increasing. Water Rates; Agenda Item IX-B
The attached Ordinance increases water rates pursuant to
your instructions at the last Village Council Meeting. In
addition to consumption rates, this Ordinance also increases
the Capital Connection Charges on Jupiter Island. This
increase on Jupiter Island is necessitated by virtue of the
additional lands purchased to expand Coral Cove Park and the
resulting reduction in potential development. Lost development
means fewer units to assess the extra capital costs associated
with providing service to Jupiter Island. Additional
information in this regard is provided within the Gee & Jenson
letter addressed to me dated February 24, 1989, a copy of which
is attached.

Re: Capital Improvement Charges
Jupiter Island
Dear Tom:
Attached is correspondence related to the establishment and
modification of a per connection capital improvement charge for
Jupiter Island customers.
The present charge is based on an expected total of 460
connections and a total project cost of $446, 500.05. The
$446,500.05 cost is for actual construction and permitting costs
of the 1983 intra-coastal waterway crossing project. To date
$196,977.25 has been collected by assessing this charge to new
connections, leaving $249,523.25 to be collected from future
connections.
The State of Florida has recently purchased four tracts adjacent
to Coral Cove Park through "Save Our Coast" funding thereby
reducing the total number of developable units on the island by
196 (12 units per acre) . The six remaining undeveloped tracts on
the island have the potential, at 12 units per acre to add a
total of 108 connections to the water system when developed. A
summary of the tracts is list below:

It would appear appropriate for the Village of Tequesta to raise
the connection charge to $2, 310 based on 108 future dwelling
units connecting to the system. This new charge would assure
complete reimbursement of the remaining project costs of
$249,523.25. The alternative of leaving rates unchanged ($1485)
could result in unreimbursed costs to the Village of $89, 100 even
after all 108 future units are connected to the system
Please call if you have any questions.
Very t ly yours,
