Any system improvements required, shall be paid by the city, or by a credit against the impact fees to be paid by the developer. Nothing in this chapter, however, shall require the city to make system improvements except as set forth in the capital facilities plan and unless and until the city council has determined to do so. Any developer seeking to commence development activity prior to the terms set forth for installation under the capital facilities plan and prior to the city’s commitment to participate in a project or to provide the required system improvements may construct all of the project and system improvements and may, with the approval and at the discretion of the city council, enter into a written system improvements reimbursement agreement with the city for the repayment of the actual, reasonable costs of the system improvements installed by receiving credits toward development impact fees or reimbursement from current or future impact fees as determined by the city council.
