The Community is responsible for remitting SAC within 30 days of the end of the SAC reporting period in which the permit or business license was issued. To pay the current year's SAC rate,all Determination requests for MCES must be submitted with complete documentation no later than 10 MCES operational days before the end of the year in order for staff to have time to complete the Determination. The Community permit or license must be issued no later than December 31. (i.e.to pay the 2015 SAC rate,all Determination requests must be submitted no later than December 18,2015 and the Community permit or license must be issued no later than December 31,2015.) 5.5.1.2 Interest Charges At the discretion of the MCES Finance Director,MCES may add interest to any unpaid and delinquent SAC balances,as permitted by law. 5.5.1.3 Past Due SAC When unremitted SAC charges from prior years are discovered(e.g., in a Community Review),the Community must respond in writing within 60 days of the date of the Community Review letter if the Community can provide additional information or has a dispute with any of the findings in order to preserve the Community's legal rights. All undisputed portions of the Community Review findings must be paid within 60 days. In an extraordinary situation,the Community may request more time via a written appeal to the MCES Finance Director.Note: The liability for unpaid SAC is the Community's responsibility regardless of collection of Local SAC from property owners. 5.5.1.3.1 Good Faith Efforts and Use of Earlier SAC Rate Where the Community has acted in Good Faith in the opinion of the MCES Finance Director,MCES may accept a payment based on an earlier SAC rate and/or without interest accrual.The earlier SAC rate is that rate that was in effect at the time the SAC should have been submitted to MCES. Acceptance of the earlier rate is contingent on payment within 60 days from the date of the Community Review letter(or longer in extenuating circumstances, at the discretion of the MCES Finance Director). 5.5.1.4 Collection of Unpaid SAC MCES reserves the right to collect any unpaid SAC using any mechanisms provided by law, including the use of a Deficiency Levy as provided in Minnesota Statutes §473.521(4)which requires the County Auditor to levy an ad valorem tax on all properties within the Community. 5.5.1.5 Discount for Prompt Payment The Community is allowed to retain 1%of the net amount due for current SAC charges to MCES as a discount for prompt payment.However,the Community may not take this discount if all the reporting forms and payments are not remitted to MCES within 30 days of the end of the month(or quarter if quarterly reporting is approved by MCES). The prompt payment discount is not allowed to be taken on any adjustments or Temporary Capacity Charges made on the SAC report. (See section 5.5.2.1 for Reporting Deadline.) 5.5.1.6 Payment Deferrals (Pursuant to M.S. 473.517 subd. 6) 5.5.1.6.1 SAC Deferral Program MCES will make available to Communities a deferral program to provide the liquidity to facilitate a Community program for business deferrals(where the total Determination for the business is 25 or less SAC units). A Community must execute the standard Master SAC Deferral Agreement to participate in this program. Details of the deferral program are contained in the agreement,including Page33
