STUBBLEFIELD MOBILE HOME PARK SEWER CHARGES The General Manager indicated the Sewer Committee had met and reviewed and interpreted the original sewer ordinance for mobile home park sewer charges regarding occupied and unoccupied spaces. He stated the ordinance provided that sewer fees would be charged to all facilities that had been approved by an appropri- ate governmental agency. He stated in view of the fact there might be an inequity, possibly an amendment would be in order. Since the District is not being charged by the City of San Bernar- dino, nor is the District extending any capital outlay for im- provements, it would not be detrimental to the equity of the situation if the District would not charge a fee. The General Manager recommended an amendment to the ordinance to the effect that where the District has neither a capital expenditure, nor an improved building permit, that no fees be charged after July 1 of this year. The District would require a certificate of occupancy from either the City or County Building Department stating a condominium, apartment or mobile home park space was ready to be occupied. There would be no charge for two years if the space is unoccupied. It would be up to the Mobile Home Park representative to notify the District when a trailer had been moved in. If the District found tke report to be incorrect, then the whole park would be considered by the District to be occupied. Ail payments to July 1, 1976, will stand at this time. The amended ordinance would become effective July 1, 1976. After con- siderable discussion on the matter, it was M/S/C (Johnson - Stoops) that the ordinance be amended to change the method of montkly sewer charges on dwellings, especially mobile home parks, charges to begin wken original occupancy takes place, as indicated by a certificate of occupancy by the County or City Building Department. The ideas to be referred to the General Manager and legal counsel to bring back an amendment ~ the ordinance for Board approval at the August 9th Board Meeting.
