A draft ordinance was prepared and given to Metropolitan Council for their review. Metropolitan Council has approved the draft noting that it met all of their requirements and concerns. The FIRST READING of Ordinance No. 08 - 96 was held at the July 8, 1996 Council meeting. Since that time no further comments or corrections have been proposed. Mr. Kluegel recommended that the City Council adopt the SECOND READING of Ordinance No. 08 - 96. Council Member Kuether asked approximately what would it cost each homeowner to comply with the proposed ordinance. Mr. Kluegel explained that the licensed pumpers would be qualified to perform the inspection so that the cost would be the same as it would cost the homeowner to get their septic tank pumped, approximately $80.00 to $100.00. Council Member Kuether asked if this proposed ordinance is as restrictive as the Washington County septic tank ordinance. Mr. Kluegel said no, however, this proposed ordinance would identify problem septic tanks. Council Member Kuether asked when this proposed ordinance would become effective. Mr. Kluegel explained it would be effective 30 days following its publication. He noted that there is no inspection requirement until March, 1997.
