- 01 010 COUNCIL MEETING September 8, 1986 Page Eight ICONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION #36 - 86, REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT FOR NON - ALLOCATED SAC COLLECTION. RESOLUTION #36 - 86 Mr. Schumacher explained that presently the City is requiring the payment of SAC for every new building permit issued in the City in- cluding permits that are issued outside of the Urban Service Dis- trict Area. Metro Waste Control Commission (MWCC) has been study- ing their policy on the SAC fees for hooking up to the Metro Sewer (SAC) and considering the possibility of rebating to the City all SAC collected outside of the Urban Service District. Resolution #36 -86 is requesting that MWCC seriously consider reim- bursing Lino Lakes for all the SAC it has collected through the years where there is not likely to be sewer in the near future or possibly never. If the MWCC does adopt this policy Lino Lakes should receive close to $400,000 in rebates. The Council would have to formulate a policy as to where these funds would go and if the City should re- quest the entire rebate because there are some areas that will even- tually get sewer. This resolution will let MWCC know that Lino Lakes is interested in the rebate program. Mr. Schumacher noted that SAC will be increased in the next few years Ifrom the present $475.00 to over $1,100.00. There was concern that citizens who have already paid SAC not be charged again when they do receive sewer. Mr. Schumacher said the City has kept record of the payments. Mr. Hawkins explained that if the City does collect the SAC for areas not designated for sewer service, these fees will have to be escrowed and then the City will have to pay the balance if the SAC rates have increased. He explained how a City in Anoka County is handling the situation. Mr. Marier moved to adopt Resolution #36 -86 with the reservation that the City protect those who have paid all the SAC charges and any ad- ditional charges assessed to the property be paid by the City and the City Council will designate the use of the funds that are set aside. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
