Ten of the City’s 26 full-time employees would receive step <br />increases. The net aggregate dollar increase equaled $90,527, and the overall budget for <br />employee wages would increase by 4.7%. Using state supplied software, the Finance <br />Department verified that the City would remain in compliance with Pay Equity <br />Statutes. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved RESOLUTION 2019-50 SETTING 2020 <br />SALARIES FOR CITY EMPLOYEES AND ESTABLISHING EMPLOYEE <br />REIMBURSEMENT LEVELS. <br /> <br />Approve Extension Requests for Connection to City Sanitary Sewer – 129th Street <br />Improvement Project <br /> <br />In 2007, a street project was done with improvements to 129th Street, Elmcrest Avenue, and <br />Ethan Avenue that included installation of municipal sewer and water. According to ordinance, <br />property owners have one year to connect to the system or request an extension. Council <br />approved three-year extensions in 2007, 2010, 2013 and again in 2016 on six properties, which <br />would be expiring at the end of this year. Four of these properties have individual sewage <br />treatment systems that were in compliance with Washington County’s septic requirements, one <br />property is a seasonal business with a holding tank that is pumped annually, and one is an <br />unoccupied residence. Staff had recommended approval of extensions for five of the properties <br />with the condition they remain compliant with Washington County’s septic requirements, and <br />recommended the unoccupied property be required to connect to the municipal system prior to <br />issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved the three-year <br />extensions for connection to City Sanitary Sewer until December 31, 2022, subject to the <br />conditions as stated. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
