(1)The district is authorized to establish a schedule of rates, rentals, and charges to be
collected from all real property within a construction subdistrict served by
construction subdistrict facilities. This schedule shall be in addition to the charge
authorized by KRS 220.510. This schedule shall be determined for each
construction subdistrict on the basis of one
(1)or more of the factors stated in KRS
220.510.
(2)Before final adoption of such a schedule the district shall give notice of it pursuant
to KRS Chapter 424. The first notice shall be dated as of the date of the first
publication; that notice shall state that the proposed or revised schedule of rates,
rentals, and charges will remain open for inspection in the office of the district for
thirty
(30)days from the date in the notice, and that any person claiming to be
aggrieved by the proposed schedule may file written objections to it with the
district. The district shall examine and hear any and all such objections, may modify
the proposed schedule, and shall adopt and establish a final schedule within sixty
(60)days after the date of the first notice.
(3)Such schedule shall be established and revised from time to time so as to produce
revenues for the construction subdistrict sufficient:
(a)For the payment of all construction subdistrict bonds and obligations except
those payable from assessments,
(b)For the payment of all costs and expenses of operating and maintaining the
construction subdistrict which expenses shall include, but not be limited to, an
equitable portion of the wages, salaries, and fees of officers and employees of
the district,
(c)For the payment to the district of an amount which represents an equitable
allocation of the cost of district facilities used, directly or indirectly, by the
construction subdistrict if there is such a use,
(d)To meet all or part of reasonably foreseeable future need for trunk, main,
connecting sewers and any other facilities necessary to link the construction
subdistrict facilities to the district facilities, or, where such linkage is not
feasible, to link the construction subdistrict facilities to and dispose of the
sewage in a treatment plant serving at least one
(1)other construction
subdistrict,
(e)For the payment of an equitable portion, not to exceed twice the amount
required by paragraph (b), of any amount necessary to establish and maintain a
fund created by subsection (6), and
(f)For the payment of all cost of renewals and replacements of construction
subdistrict facilities.
(4)Any and all portions of expenses, salaries, wages and fees necessary or incident to
improvements for which bonds are issued may be paid from bond proceeds.
(5)The rates, rentals, and charges authorized by this section need not be the same for
all real property within the construction subdistrict but may be based upon any
reasonable classification.
(6)The district may create a fund which the district shall hold in trust to guarantee
payment of construction subdistrict bonds authorized by KRS 220.577. As trustee
of such fund, the district, to the extent of any payment made from it, shall have all
the rights of bondholders against the construction subdistrict revenues. Bondholders'
current rights shall prevail, however, over the fund's rights. The fund shall not
exceed ten percent (10%) of the principal amount of the bonds outstanding under
KRS 220.577. Payment from the fund shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the
unpaid principal amount of any bond in default. If the principal amount of the bonds
outstanding becomes less than ten
(10)times the amount in the fund, any excess in
the fund (beyond the maximum amount authorized) shall be transferred to a
separate special fund to be spent, when deemed advisable by the board, for
construction, improvement, maintenance, or operation of sewerage or drainage
facilities which will benefit the construction subdistricts which have contributed to
the fund.
