Boob .43 PAGE 44 Step C-3 - As part of discussions with the developer and his engineer, the Developer's Agreement Form will be completed and executed. The related fees, all spelled out in the agreement., state that some fees are payable "up -front" before the DER applications are executed and some are payable prior to meter installation. The fees assessed will be according to county ordinances. Step C-4 - The approved plans and specs will be forwarded through the Technical Review Committee of the county to the Board of County Commissioners for its approval of the project. The package to the Board will include the Developer's Agreement. Approval discussion will normally be scheduled at a regular meeting of the Board. Development Franchise If the developer requires a franchise, a different sequence is re- quired as shown on the sequence diagram. Step F-2 - The County Ordinance and Franchise Procedure spells out the information package contents that must be submitted to the county in applying for a franchise. The major part of this information must be submitted for review before the site plan can be approved. Any questions raised by the county or other agencies must be answered to the satisfactior of the Board of County Commissioners and be included as part of the fran- chise application package. Step F-3 - When the package is considered to be complete, the package is reviewed by the appropriate offices of the county and forwarded with recommendations for approval to the Board of County Commissioners when it is satisfied with the package. Step F-4 - The Board will normally review the franchise applications at a regularly scheduled Board meeting. The Board will approve the fran- chise and all provisos as contained in the application package. Step F-5 - The Franchise Resolution will be prepared and executed per the provisos of the approved franchise package. Step F-6 - The next logical step is the preparation and delivery to the county of three sets of plans and specs. The county will follow a review and approval procedure as described in Step C-2 except the approval of the Board had been previously obtained for the franchises. Since one of the conditions of a franchise is the provision for the county eventually to operate and maintain the system, we are vitally interested in having the most reliable and readily maintainable systems. This is the reason for the careful attention to the specifications and inspections that are planned and will be provided. The plans that are approved are the plans that are to be later submitted to the DER with the application. Step F-7 - In this step, any fees required by ordinance or resolution will be paid. In addition, the escrow account as required for ERC pro- visions of the resolution will be established. This fund will be available to the county to help offset the expense of the plant capacity and hy- draulic mains for connecting the franchised system to the county system. The following steps apply whether the utilities are part of the county system or a franchise system. Step 8 - The developer's engineer will forward the correct number of copies of the DER application to the county. The form will be checked for accuracy of the figures. If the plans had passed through the approval cycle and all applicable fees paid, the applications will be executed and forwarded to the -engineer for permit processing. Step 9 - The DER, upon reviewing the application, will issue the permits as requested. After the permits are received, the developer can proceed with the utility installation as approved. Step 10 - Inspections and acceptance testing as required by county, state and federal regulations will be completed before the system can be put into service. These include pressure tests, disinfection, bacteria analysis, as -built plans, lift -station start up, certifications, etc., as required by regulation.
