Neither party shall unreasonably withhold agreement to an expansion <br /> meeting the aforementioned criteria. In addition, District shall <br /> cause the basic connection charge set forth in Section 14 to be estab- <br /> lished and shall maintain said charge until a new sewage rate study <br /> is undertaken and new rates have been recommended which are reasonably <br /> necessary to meet the financing needs established by Section 14, in- <br /> cluding a reasonable amount to allow for future plant expansion. <br /> The expansion of plant capacity approved by the Regional Board <br /> shall be funded initially from the uniform, basic connection fee levied <br /> pursuant to Section 14 of this contract. If the amount of the basic <br /> connection fee is insufficient to fund all of the costs for expanding <br /> the plant's capacity, District shall immediately notify City in writing. <br /> Within fourteen (14) days of the above notice, the parties shall meet <br /> and within thirty (30) days, agree in writing to fund the additional, <br /> unfunded capacity either jointly or individually. If the parties agree <br /> to participate jointly in providing the required additional funding, <br /> they shall share proportionately the capacity so funded, based upon <br /> each party's contribution. If one party unilaterally provides the <br /> monies to pay for the unfunded additional capacity, the other party <br /> having elected not to participate, the capacity so funded shall be <br /> reserved exclusively for the funding party; the other, non funding <br /> party shall not be entitled to use any capacity funded by the other <br /> party without the express written authority of the funding party. The <br /> funding party shall be responsible for and the beneficiary of any <br /> increases or decreases in operation and maintenance costs attributable <br /> to the expansion. <br /> -12- <br />
