RE: Water Impact Fees for Fun Beverage
Dear Paul,
Thank you for your inquiry concerning the computation of Fun Beverage's water late
comer's fee. I asked the Public Works Department to verify the amount, which they have
completed. As you know, the late comer's fee is based on the contract the City has with
Montana Venture Partners. The contract allows the investors to collect part of their
investment back from users connecting to the water and/or sewer main they paid for. Their
engineers have the cost of installation, and have computed the charges for capacity
consumed. Based on the diameter of the water main Fun Beverage installed which
determines capacity of the lines being consumed, the charges Fun Beverage received are
correct in accordance with the contract. The City only administers the contract by collecting
the agreed upon fees and distributing them to the investors. The City can not deviate or
adjust the fees without the consent of the investment group.
Should you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
James . Patrick
City Manager
