Re: Bill #23 -16 Substitute Version
Dear Council President Tim Scott,
On April 20, 2016, I, Patrick C. Kerr, City Engineer filed Bill #23 -16, which an ordinance proposing
to include new rules and regulations for assessment of installation charges. That Bill, based upon further
review, would benefit from additional language.
Notable substitutions to the original Bill are as follows:
1) Multi - Family properties were improperly omitted from water assessment installation charges, so
language was modified to include these property types.
2) Compact fees, where applicable, shall be charged only for sewer main line connections and not
water main connections.
3) It shall be the City's right to retain previously collected assessment fees
I am now filing a Substitute Bill #23 -16 which codifies these additions among several minor clerical
changes to the original submission which proposes new rules and regulations for assessment of
installation charges. Included in this submission is also a highlighted markup of the substitution bill that
clarifies the substitutions being made to the original Bill.
As before, either I, or Director of Public Works Eric Horvath, will present this Bill to the Common
Council at its appropriate committee meeting and at the public hearing during the Common Council's
regular meeting.
Thank you for your consideration of this Substitute Bill.

Ordinance No. -16
AN ORDINANCE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND,
INDIANA, AMENDING CHAPTER 17 OF THE SOUTH BEND MUNICIPAL CODE TO
INCLUDE NEW RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR ASSESSMENT OF
INSTALLATION CHARGES
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT
Chapter 17, Article 10 of the South Bend Municipal Code (the Code) contains sections
involving construction fees for water and sewer installation. In particular, it addresses assessment
of installation charges, which are fees intended to recoup the city's investment in the installation
of water mains and sewers. Users wishing to connect to the system are charged a standard rate
based on the size and /or dimension of their property.
The purpose of this ordinance is to establish an effective date for the below mentioned
assessments and to add language so that fees are only required of users wishing to connect to
water mains and sewers constructed and funded by the City with the expectation of recoupment
by the City. Essentially, the current ordinance requires assessment fees of all connections and
does not differentiate between utilities installed by the City or a private developer or whether the
utilities were installed by the City as part of an economic development agreement.
This ordinance will clearly define exemptions for assessment charge and establish an effective
date for implementation. In addition, it simplifies the presentation of the fee structure so as to
reduce confusion.
