The intent of the methodology is that new development should not be charged for a higher level of service than that currently provided to the community or to which the community has committed future resources. Therefore, additional capacity needs are determined using the City's existing level of service or the City's funded level of service. In a similar manner, new development should be credited for past and future bond payments on infrastructure related existing debt (Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission [MWMC]) and past trunk sewer levies. The general approach used to calculate the development charge for various systems is based on requirements set forth in ORS 223.304: · Reimbursement fees shall be established or modified considering "the cost of the existing facility or facilities, prior contributions by existing uses, gift or grants from federal or state government or private persons, the value of unused capacity available to future system users, rate-making principles employed to finance publicly owned capital improvements and other relevant factors identified by the local government imposing the fee." · Improvement fees shall be established considering "the cost of projected capital improvements needed to increase the capacity of the systems to which the fee is related.
