EXHIBIT A Except as hereinafter provided should the periodic review reveal the City has not attained the projected population and the projected use of REC units; the City will implement the following remedial measures in a manner which is proportional to the shortfall and reflects the annual sewer charges established by the Metropolitan Council,-provided that a "wastewater ineffiga nc fee" will not be imposed if imposing such fee would be in conflict with any of the provisions of the Memorandum of Understanding and, in no case will the implementation of these remedial measures result in year 2030 projections of sewered dwelling units, sewered employment, total dwelling units or population in excess of those agreed to by the City and the Metropolitan Council by the 2005 Memorandum of Understanding between the City and the Metropolitan Council. 1. Automatic adjustment of the growth staging table to reflect the growth of households, population and RECs needed to meet the population commitments the City agreed to under the Memorandum of Understanding. The adjusted growth staging table, upon approval of the Metropolitan Council, shall be deemed to be immediately incorporated in the City's comprehensive plan. This remedy includes appropriate and timely modification of official controls, e.g., zoning and subdivision ordinances which are consistent with the comprehensive plan, in accordance with state law, to implement the comprehensive plan. 2. if the City does not meet its population commitment in 2010, its household commitments for 2015, 2020, 2025 and 2030 shall each be adjusted upward by an amount equal to the difference between the committed population and the actual population in 2010, muitiplied by 0.5. This process shall be repeated in 2015, 2020, 2025 and 2030. Housing units added under this provision shall be added at an average density of at least 3 units per acre. If the City does not meet its REC commitments in 2010, it shall pay to the Metropolitan Council a "wastewater inefficiency fee" (WIF) to help pay the operation, maintenance, and capital costs of underutilized regional wastewater infrastructure and the costs of providing regional sewer service for development elsewhere in the region that would have occurred within the City. A determination will be made on the number of deficient RECs by subtracting actual RECs from the committed RECs identified in the adopted comprehensive plan. A WlF shall be paid for every deficient REC and will be due on the dates specified below. Estimated WEF per Each Time Frame Deficient REC Payment Date 2007 -2010 $2,600.00 January 31, 2011 2010 -2015 $4,200.00 January 31, 2016 2015- 2020 $5,200.00 January 31, 2021 2020 -2025 $5,500.00 January 31, 2026 20252030 $5,600.00 January 31, 2031
