CONSENT
ITEM #:
MOTION
AGENDA ITEM: Amending Wastewater Treatment Systems Ordinance to Extend Time for
Connection
SUBMITTED BY: Kristina Handt, City Administrator
BACKGROUND: Current City Code 51.022 (A) requires a building to connect to municipal sewer within one year from the time a connection is available to the building.
Met Council Rules allow for 24 months for the connection to happen from the time a connection is available.
ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL: Should the Council amend City Code to be consistent with Met Council Rules and allow 24 months for a building to connect to municipal sewer from the time a connection is available?
PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: The proposal would simple change the connection time from 1 year to 2 years.
FISCAL IMPACT: This change would impact the sewer fund balance by possibly delaying the $1,000 connection fee by an additional year. Net result over time would have no impact. OPTIONS: 1) Approve Ordinance No. 08-XXX 2) Amend and then Approve Ordinance No. 08-XXX 3) Do not adopt Ordinance No. 08-XXX RECOMMENDATION: Motion to adopt Ordinance No. 08-XXX
