107. ORDINANCE NO. 2003 - 30 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS, TEXAS AMENDING SECTIONS 86.003 AND 86.004 OF THE CITY CODE TO REVISE REGULATIONS RELATED TO EXTENSIONS AND CONNECTIONS TO THE CITY WATER AND WASTEWATER SYSTEMS; INCLUDING PROCEDURAL PROVISIONS; AND PROVIDING FOR PENALTIES. RECITALS: 1. City Code Section 86.003 currently includes a policy under which the City pays for the first 100 feet of a water or wastewater utility extension needed for a private development, unless the City has not budgeted funds for this purpose in the Water-Wastewater Fund budget. The staff has recommended that this policy be discontinned, since the City has not budgeted funds for City contributions towards water or wastewater extension costs in many years, and the inclusion of this policy gives rise to expectations on the part of developers that cannot be met. 2. City Code Sections 86.003 and 86.004 also provide for regulations and approval procedures for extension and connection to the City water and wastewater systems by uses outside the City limits. The staff has recommended that this policy be revised so that extension and connection requests will be accompanied by am~exation requests to more effectively facilitate annexation of areas to be served by City utilities befbm development occurs.
