    WHEREAS, Water Resources requests approval to sole source the purchase of a pontoon vertical profiler system from Fondriest Environmental, Inc. located in Fairborn, Ohio;

    WHEREAS, City Council approval is required to sole source a purchase under State Public Contracting Statute GS 143-129 (e)(6). State law allows exceptions to the letting of public contracts for the purchase of apparatus, supplies, materials or equipment when standardization or compatibility is the overriding consideration;

    WHEREAS, In light of the vulnerability of the city’s raw water reservoirs and water treatment facilities, to potential threats and hazards from water quality and contamination events, the need to incorporate additional resiliency and protection measures became evident;

    WHEREAS, The requested water quality / contaminant alert monitoring system is comprised of a floating pontoon anchored to the bed of Lake Brandt in such a way that it continuously samples and reports water quality parameters from waters immediately adjacent to the treatment plant intake;

    WHEREAS, The system is designed both to optimize treatment processes for the Mitchell Water Treatment Plant in response to raw water changes and to provide early warning of contamination events so actions can be initiated to protect the public water supply;

    WHEREAS, To help increase the ability to detect petroleum spills a hydrocarbon monitoring instrument will be integrated into the contaminant-alert system. Other sensors will be utilized to help monitor for algae blooms as well as taste/odor issues and other problems that are detrimental to treatment plant processes. The installed sensors and system will continuously measure lake water quality and allow for the logging of environmental conditions. This data will in turn allow Water Supply and Stormwater Division staff to better understand the ecology of the lakes and watershed; and

    NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GREENSBORO:

    That the City is authorized to enter into a sole source purchase of a Fondriest Environmental Pontoon Vertical Profiler System from Fondriest Environmental, Inc. for the Lake Brandt raw water intake subject to the terms outlined above. The Mayor and/or City Manager and the City Clerk are hereby authorized to execute on behalf of the City of Greensboro a proper contract to carry the proposal into effect, payment to be made in the amount of $158,000 from Water Resources Operating Fund Account No. 501-70-7021001.6059.

    Moved by Mayor Pro-Tem Johnson, seconded by Councilmember Thurm to adopt the ordinance and stated that the Greensboro City Council believed that its action to approve the rezoning request for the properties at 4000, 4002, and 4010 Walker Avenue from R-5 (Residential Single-family – 5) to CD-O (Conditional District - Office) to be consistent with the adopted GSO 2040 Comprehensive Plan and considered the action taken to be reasonable and in the public interest for the following reasons: the request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan’s Future Built Form Map and Future Land Use Map; the proposed CD-O zoning district, as conditioned, permits uses which fit the context of surrounding area and limits negative impacts on the adjacent properties; and the request is reasonable due to the size, physical conditions, and other attributes of the area, it will benefit the property owner and surrounding community, and approval is in the public interest.

    Section 2: That Section 29-53 of the Greensboro Code of Ordinances is hereby amended to read as follows:

     

    Sec. 29-53. System development fees; capacity use fees; declaration of purpose.

    There are hereby established system development fees and capacity use fees as hereafter set out. The purpose of the system development fee and the capacity use fee is to partially recover directly from new customers the costs of the capacity of the utility system to serve them.

    The system development fee shall be applied to new development that connects to the utility system. New development shall be defined as any of the following: 1) the subdivision of land; 2) the construction, reconstruction, redevelopment, conversion, structural alteration, relocation, or enlargement of any structure which increases the number of meters or increases the meter size; or 3) any use or extension of the use of land which increases the number of meters or increases the meter size which began after November 29, 2017.

    The capacity use fee shall be applied to existing development that connects to the utility system. Existing development shall be defined as land subdivisions, structures, and land uses in existence as of November 29, 2017.

    It is hereby declared that such charges are reasonable and necessary and results in a more equitable and economically efficient method of recovery of such costs to handle new growth and to serve new customers without placing an additional financial burden on existing customers solely through inordinate enhancement of water and sewer rates. Hence the following and system development fees and capacity use fees are adopted and approved as follows:

    (a)   System development fees: The system development fees shall be set at the rate as outlined in G.S. § 162A-200 et seq. (Session Law 2017-188 (HB 436)). The City of Greensboro completed the required supporting analysis in accordance with G.S. § 162A-205 et seq. A copy of the study shall be filed with the city clerk, and the study may be accessed on the City of Greensboro website.

    The system development fee shall be imposed for new development to fund costs necessitated by and attributable to the costs associated with new development and system growth. The fee is based on the blended value of both the existing and expanded system capacity and its calculation includes both existing assets and future capital projects required to serve growth.

    The system development fee shall not exceed the allowable calculated amount as determined by the supporting analysis under G.S. § 162A-205 et seq. and the supporting analysis shall be updated at least every 5 years.

    Sec. 29-53.1. Exemptions and refunds of the system development fee and capacity use fee for housing units located within the corporate limits of the city and defined as serving affordable to low income households with incomes below 80% of the area median income as calculated annually by the U.S. department of housing and urban development.

    There shall be no exemptions and refunds of the fees for housing units affordable to low-income households which are located outside of the corporate limits of the city at the time the individual applies for a water meter or sewer connection. Exemptions and refunds of the fees for housing units affordable to low income households located within the corporate limits of the city at the time the individual applies for a water meter or a sewer connection shall be as follows:

    (a)   Units not for rental. Any single-family, not for rent, residential unit containing one thousand five hundred (1,500) square feet, or less may be exempt from the fees based on building permit data. Any single-family, not for rent, residential unit over one thousand five hundred (1,500) square feet may be exempt from the fees based on builder participation in a low income housing production program as verified by the Greensboro Neighborhood Development Department.

    (b)   Rental units.

     (1)  All rental residential units shall be subject to the fees based on meter size and the same will be paid at the time of application for water or sewer connection;

    (2)   Provided that low income rental residential housing units renting for a monthly rental rate equal to, or less than, the Fair Market Rental rates currently adopted by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for the Greensboro, North Carolina, area, and in effect at the time of application, shall be eligible for refund of the fees in accordance with subsection (3) below;

    (3)   The fees will be refunded to the owner of a rental unit upon presentation of proof, on forms available from the city, to the Neighborhood Development Department that sixty (60) percent of the units in the rental development are rented for an amount equal to, or less than, the Fair Market Rental rate currently adopted by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for the Greensboro, North Carolina, area, and in effect at the time of application. The rental amount shall not be adjusted for utilities.

    (4)   A property owner intending to request a fee refund for particular rental residential units must file written notice with the Neighborhood Development Department when the fees are paid and provide rent documentation once the property has reached sixty (60) percent occupancy.

    (5)   Provided further that any residential rental units, the owner of which has contracted with the City of Greensboro in advance of construction guaranteeing that sixty (60) percent of the unit rentals will be equal to or less than the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Fair Market Rental rates, shall be entitled to an exemption from the fees.

    (c)   The Neighborhood Development Department shall have the duty of determining appropriate exemptions from and refunds of the fees. Exemptions shall be administered by the water resources department. Refunds shall be administered by the Neighborhood Development Department.

    (d)   All refunds of the fees shall be from appropriations duly made and authorized by council.

    Sec. 29-53.2. Credits.

    Credits are provided to customers for parcels of land that already have an existing water and/or sewer service connection(s). This credit is provided to recognize the system capacity already allocated for the existing connection(s) serving a parcel that is being redeveloped or upgraded to require an increased-sized service connection(s).

    In order for the water resources department to determine whether a customer qualifies for this credit and the value of the credit, the following must be done:

    (a)   Water and/or sewer services to be abandoned must be abandoned at the main and shown on the construction drawing(s) with the property address(es).

    (b)   Water resources or engineering and inspections department inspectors must provide documented verification of abandonment for each address provided on construction drawing(s).

    (c)   Water resources records must validate that the service(s) described herein is a valid legal connection(s) based on records research.

    The value of previous connection(s) will be calculated based on the current fees in effect at the time of application for new connection(s). This calculated value of the previous connection(s) will be deducted from the fees calculated for the new service connections resulting in a net cost for new service.

    In the case of exceeding credits, no refund will be given nor will the customer be allowed to apply credits toward another project. However, a project may include more than one parcel of contiguous property and those credits for all individual parcels may be collectively applied toward the fee associated with establishing any new connection(s) for those same contiguous parcels even if recombined.

    In no case shall credits result in a net refund for a project.

    Section 3: That all sections not amended herein shall remain in full force and effect. 

    Section 4: That this ordinance shall become effective on July 1, 2023.
