VIII. OTHER ITEMS FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
LATE COMERS AGREEMENT -AMICK
Jim Whitaker,City Attorney,stated that Earl Amick is requesting a reimburse-//(*(,
ment agreement for the installation of water and sewer lines in connection
with the development of Vista Village Shopping Center several years ago.The
utility improvements were completed and turned over to the city about 1980.
At this time Mr.Amick is requesting a late comers agreement to require reim
bursement on a pro rata basis for those improvements.The problem is that Mr.
Amick did not contact the city and request a reimbursement agreement prior to
installing the utilities.Staff is requesting direction from Council on this
matter.Should the Council agree to the reimbursement schedule,the 15 year
time limit should start in 1980 since that is when the utilities became part
of the city's system.Also Mr.Amick should be responsible for defending the
validity of the assessment should a late comer challenge it.
Darrel Ries,representing Mr.Amick,stated that it had been the policy of the
city for at least 35 years that developers be reimbursed for installation of
utilities when adjacent undeveloped land is build upon but that there had
never been a requirement to have that agreement in writing.He felt the reim
bursement schedule should be granted and agreed that if there were any objec
tions to the hook up fee they would defend it and would also agree to the time
for the reimbursement schedule should start in 1980.
Joseph K.Gavinski,City Manager,stated that the city does have several writ
ten reimbursement agreements with developers.
There was some discussion by Council.
Action Taken:Mr.Frederickson moved that the reimbursement agreement be set
up and the city be held harmless should there be any litigation,seconded by
Mr.Reese,and passed unanimously.
