Whenever drainage facilities (either on or off-site) listed as proposed improvements in Chapter VI, Section C, of the McKinleyville Drainage Plan, or facilities determined by the Director of Public Works to be functionally equivalent, are required by the County to be constructed and installed by the subdivider as a part of the subdivision or by a developer of a parcel(s), the cost of construction of such drainage facilities, as contained in the plan, shall be credited against drainage fees chargeable to such subdivision or development project, provided such facilities are owned by the County at the time such fees are payable, or will be owned by the County upon acceptance thereof by the County. (Ord. 1758, § 1, 11/12/86; Ord. 2092, § 2, 10/10/95; Ord. 1864, § 4, 05/23/89)

If the credit exceeds the fees owed by the subdivider or developer, the County shall reimburse the subdivider or developer in the following manner:

At the beginning of each fiscal year, fifty percent (50%) of the drainage fees deposited during the previous fiscal year shall be allocated to reimburse subdividers or developers. If sufficient funds are available, all subdividers and developers shall be reimbursed in full at the end of the fiscal year, and the remaining funds shall become available for construction projects along with the other fifty (50%) of the drainage fees deposited. If sufficient funds are not available to reimburse all subdividers and developers, then they shall be reimbursed in proportion to the amount owed, except that all amounts less than $1,000 shall be paid in full first. Any deficiency shall be carried over to the next fiscal year. (Ord. 1864, § 3, 5/23/1989; Ord. 2092, § 2, 10/10/1995)
