Staff provided an overview of the changes to the Ordinance’s conveyance process noting it will be amended to eliminate the Preliminary Acceptance Phase and only require Final Acceptance. The County will assume ownership of the facilities at Final Acceptance with a one-year warranty provided by the dedicator. The Subcommittee reviewed the documents individually as follows: Article III - Utilities Standards and Procedures • A majority of the changing include updating of names, dates, etc. • The Final Acceptance will require approval by the BCC (Board of County Commissioners) which is anticipated to occur 4 – 5 weeks after staff has approved the documentation submitted as required under the process. • Prior to Final Acceptance, a letter will be issued by staff so the developer may obtain Certificates of Occupancy without a delay given the timeline for the BCC approval. • Staff is in the process of finalizing the details on the process which will not include a UPS (Utility Performance Security) for private non subdivided properties given the given the amount of infrastructure is minimal in these cases. • This may include condominium communities as the owner of the association is responsible for the major amount of infrastructure on their side of the metered development without liability to the County. • A UPS will be required for other infrastructure proposed to be conveyed to the County in the amount of 110 percent of the construction costs or $10,000 whichever is greater. • Staff is still reviewing the requirements of the UPS including how the amount is determined in relation to the definition outlined for the construction cost estimate. It is anticipated the procedural requirements for the UPS will not be included in the ordinance, rather a policy document. • Another aspect still under review is the procedure for dealing with an unclaimed UPS. Staff will continue to draft the document and return it for further review by the Subcommittee.
