1 1 1 CITY COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 27, 1994 connection permit fees and sanitary sewer connection permit fees by Council resolution. This would eliminate the need to amend the City Code every time the connection fees are changed. Mr. Volk explained that he will proposed that a resolution be passed to increase the municipal water connection fee from $50.00 to $100.00. The City has recently instituted a new procedure to connect to municipal water when the connection is in the middle of a driveway. The new procedure requires the installation of "manhole" provided by the City. The cost of the "manhole" is about $50.00. The increase in the municipal water connection permit fee will cover the cost of the "manhole". Council Member Kuether moved to adopt the FIRST READING of Ordinance No. 10 - 94 and dispense with the reading. Council Member Elliott seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION NO. 94 - 37 SETTING THE PERMIT FEES FOR CONNECTION TO THE MUNICIPAL WATER SYSTEM AND THE SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM, DON VOLK The purpose of this resolution is to establish permit fees for connection to the municipal water system and the sanitary sewer system. Currently these fees are established by the City Code. The City Code is being amended to allow these fees to be changed by resolution. This would eliminate the need to adopt an ordinance and amend the City Code every time permit fees are changed. The current fee is $50.00 for a permit to connect to the municipal water system and $75.00 to connect to the sanitary sewer system. The resolution would set the fees at $100.00 for the municipal water system permit and the sanitary sewer connection permit would remain at $75.00. The reason for the increase in the water connection permit is to cover additional costs incurred by the City for supplying water valve "manholes" for residential driveways. Mr. Volk explained that connection permit charges are established to cover the costs incurred by the Utility Department for inspections and other related costs. They are not intended to be revenue producing fees for the City. Council Member Kuether moved to adopt Resolution No. 94 - 37 and dispense with the reading. Council Member Elliott seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Resolution No. 94 - 37 can be found at the end of these minutes. Mr. Volk noted that the resolution does not become effective until after the second reading of Ordinance No. 10 - 94 and its publication as required by the City Charter. PAGE 6 25;
