District waives hookup fees for Country Haven, secures future access and revenue share
Summary
Superintendent Mark Kress reported the district waived sewer hookup fees for 42 Country Haven units — an estimated $100,000 savings for that development — in return for guaranteed future sewer access for district schools and 50% of any future hookup fees if the development expands.
Superintendent Mark Kress told the Snake River School Board that the Country Haven sewer line connection at the high school is nearly complete and that the district waived hookup fees for 42 Country Haven units in exchange for guaranteed future access and revenue sharing.
Kress said waiving the fees saved Country Haven roughly $100,000 and that the agreement secures access for Rockford Elementary, the middle school and any future school buildings. The district will receive 50% of any future hookup fees if the development expands, according to the superintendent's report.
Board minutes record the superintendent's presentation but do not list the precise legal instrument or the detailed terms of the agreement beyond the fee waiver, the 50% future-fee share, and the number of units. The board did not take a separate formal vote on the sewer-connection agreement during the meeting; the superintendent presented it as an informational item.
The minutes list the hookup-fee waiver and revenue-sharing arrangement as a district benefit that reduces immediate capital needs for connecting district facilities while preserving the district’s priority access to the line.
