A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
FRIENDSWOOD, TEXAS, ESTABLISHING THE FEES TO BE
CHARGED BY THE CITY TO NON-RESIDENT CUSTOMERS OF THE
CITY'S WATER AND SEWER SERVICE.
� � * * *
WHEREA5, the City of Friendswood, Texas (the"City") currently charges the same fees
to all customers of the City's water and sewer system, whether such customers are located inside
or outside the corporate limits of the City; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City recognizes that the provision of water and
sewer services to customers located outside the corporate limits of the City provides a benefit to
those non-resident customers, and indirectly imposes a financial burden on resident customers,
which is not shared by non-resident customers; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City desires to change the fees it charges to water
and sewer customers located outside the corporate limits of the City, uniformly, to ease the
financial burden imposed on the City's resident customers; now therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FRIENDSWOOD,
STATE OF TEXAS:
Section 1. The rates for water and sewer system services to be charged to customers
located outside the City's corporate limits shall be one and one-half(1.5) times that charged to
customers located inside the City's corporate limits. Notwithstanding the foregoing, customers
located outside the City's corporate limits shall be billed at the same rates as those charged
customers inside the City's corporate limits if (i) such services are provided pursuant an
interlocal cooperation agreement and the interlocal cooperation agreement does not provide for
different rates, or (ii) such services are provided pursuant to an agreement entered into prior to
the effective date of this Resolution. Such out of city customer rates shall be calculated by
multiplying the base rates heretofore approved by City Council, as set forth in Appendix D of the
Friendswood City Code,by one and one-half(1.5).
Section 2. The rates charged to non-resident water and sewer customers set forth in
Section 1 hereof shall not apply to entities engaged in non-profit enterprises as that term is
defined in 26 U.S.C. §501, as amended, which can demonstrate satisfactory proof of such non-
profit status. Such non-profit customers will be charged at the standard rate charged to resident
water and sewer customers.
Section 3. The fee schedule approved and adopted in Section 1 hereof shall apply to
all billings for water and sewer service beginning after the ls`day of July 2002.
PASSED, APPROVED, and RESOLVED this 1�` day of July 2002.
