Title
Resolution Approving an Extraterritorial Wastewater Service Agreement Between the Town of Castle Rock and Bryan Degarmo and Carolyn Degarmo [2864 Fifth Street, Castle Rock CO 80104]
Body
________________________________________________________________________________
Executive Summary
Staff seeks Town Council approval of a resolution (Attachment A) authorizing an Extraterritorial Wastewater Service Agreement ("the Agreement", Exhibit 1 to Attachment A) with Bryan and Carolyn Degarmo ("the Degarmos"). The Degarmos own property at 2864 Fifth Street, which lies outside the Castle Rock town limits. Castle Rock Municipal Code (13.12) permits the extension of water and/or wastewater services to properties outside municipal boundaries through such agreements.
Approval of the Agreement is recommended for the following reasons:
1. Continuation of Service: The property’s septic system is impacted by the Fifth Street Improvements Project ("Roadway Project"), necessitating an alternative wastewater solution.
2. Broader Infrastructure Needs: The service extension aligns with the Town’s efforts to enable current and future connections for properties in the vicinity.
Under the Agreement, the Degarmos will pay monthly standard sewer rates plus a 25% surcharge, while the Town will cover the one-time system development fee of $5,562 and reimburse the Degarmos $12,600 to offset monthly sewer bills. Additionally, Castle Rock Water will be reimbursed $97,195 from the Roadway Project funding to construct the sanitary sewer infrastructure needed to provide adequate wastewater service to the Degarmos.
Budget Impact
Monthly Sewer Fees: The Degarmos will pay an estimated $35 per month for sewer services. A 25% surcharge will be applied in accordance with the Municipal Code.
One-Time Connection Fee: The standard $5,562 connection fee will be covered by the Town’s General Fund.
Lump Sum Fee Reimbursement: $12,600 will be paid to the Degarmos from the CIP/Fifth Street Construction (213-4575-445.79-34) account.
Fund Transfer: A fund transfer of $97,195 from the Fifth Street Improvements account (135-3175-431.78-85) to the Other Revenue - Reimbursements (213-4575-395.10-00).

Staff recommends approval of the Extraterritorial Wastewater Service Agreement with the Degarmos for the property located at 2864 Fifth Street.
