Explanation
BACKGROUND: The Department of Public Utilities recommends reimbursement to the City of Dublin for overpayment of sanitary sewer capacity fees. The City of Dublin created three master meter subdivisions: The Glens at Ballantrae, The Cottages at Ballantrae Woods, and Deer Run. The City of Dublin owed Columbus for three master sanitary sewer connections (one for each of the three subdivisions). Dublin properly paid for two master sanitary connections (The Glens at Ballantrae and The Cottages at Ballantrae Woods). Additionally, over a period of four years (2016-2019), the City of Dublin paid for numerous single family connections within all three of these subdivisions. These payments were not owed and therefore need to be refunded. The City of Dublin has not yet paid for the master sanitary sewer connection for Deer Run. The amount owed for that connection is being deducted from the balance owed by The City of Columbus. The amount owed to the City of Dublin, minus the amount the City of Dublin owes for the master sanitary sewer correction for Deer Run, is $250,620.00.
Contract Compliance is not required as this refund is necessary to our customer to whom we have agreed to provide services.
FISCAL IMPACT: $250,620.00 will be appropriated from the unappropriated balance of the Sanitary Sewer Operating Fund and expended for this purpose.
EMERGENCY DESIGNATION: This ordinance is being submitted as an emergency in order to provide for the prompt refund of these fees to our customer.
