City Manager Yunker reviewed this resolution is to approve summary publication for Ordinance 2022-09. But, since the Ordinance was not adopted, this will be considered at the next meeting. C. Ordinance 2022-09 — Amending Section 50.16 of Chanter 50 Storm Water and Sanity Sewers. City Manager Yunker reviewed City Staff has worked closely with the Metropolitan Council of Environmental Services (MCES) to establish a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) related to the Ongoing inflow and infiltration (UI) Program. City Council approved the MOU under Resolution 22-052 at the June 14, 2022 City Council Meeting.

Mayor Stille stated if a resident doesn't want to tear up their yard in the winter, the new buyer could do the repair. The repair doesn't need to be completed before the sale. This is between the buyer and seller as to how this will be handled. Councilmember Webster stated there was a visual inspection done at the most recent street reconstruction.
