Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) SUMMARY; The current deadline for residents to hook up to city water and/or sewer is August 31 , 1992 . A number of residents have requested an extension to this deadline. Their concern is that they feel they can not afford to hook up at this time. Some have also requested that they be allowed to place the cost for hooking up on their property taxes. At the work session on August 3 , 1992, Council indicated that the prospect of "ordering" properties to hook up under state statute 412.221 was likely. To accommodate the residents who wish to place the cost on their taxes, a special assessment hearing would be needed. Since there is a 60 day time period after the hearing before construction can occur; and since this would push con- struction into October or November, the deadline for connection to water and/or sewer should be extended to June 1, 1993 . Staff is recommending that the Council simply "stay" enforcement of the connection requirement until June 1, 1993 . Staff will begin the work necessary to establish special assessments for connections and complete the hearing and assessment role over the winter. Construction would likely occur in early May of 1993. c Ric inetor City Engineer/Director of Public Works j3ECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council suspend enforcement of the mandatory connection requirement of Chapters 70 and 71 of the Municipal Code until after June 1, 1993 .
