The City Sngineer said that when the garage was beang planned, it was anticipated that the arena would have been finished and the arena was to provide the lines and from there they were to go to servzce the garage, and then the arena had to be rebid. He said that the garage line has already been stubbed to che arena and they ho�e to get it in 7ay next month if the arena people keep moving. Councilman Liebl said that the Council realized that there has been some inconvenience, but the City did not want to waste $2,000 l�y not waiting. Mr. Richard Harris said that a list oc de£iciencies at the garage has been prepared and he strongly urged the Council to examine it carefully. Councilman �.,ieb1 said that the Council has received the letter. Mayor Kirkham said 'chat these matters have been taken care of.

MINCO SEWER CONNECTION COSTS: 7`he City Engineer said that Mr. Schurr representing Minco Proclucts, Inc., was present at the Council Meeting. He explained that ilinco Products is going to be hooking to the NSSSD line and they are unY�atapy about the cost they will have to bear. He said they are requesting a temporary connection with the chance that it may become a permanent connection iL- it is not feasible to connect onto the Sears property at a later time. The City �;ngineer reviewed the difference in cost between an average sewer connection and the cost of a sewer hookup with a drop manhole. It means that Minco Products will spend approximately $1,190 more rh an a nornal lateral a.;sessment. � He saicl that they were willing to do this iJ. the Council woulcl not assess any future lateral charges to this aroperty. i � � f j ,r;d OJ SPL^'CIAL COUL+iCIL Mc:E'PIPdG, JULY 29, 1968 PAGE 7 Councilman Harris m�de a motion to approve the permit and let � Minco connect pertnanently to the NS55D line and ii in the future there are any modificarions, the City wi11 pay the charges. He later withdrew this motion aPter the CounciZ discussed the past policy oi the Council. The Finance Director explained that in the past when a proverty aaner hooked on to the sewer, they were charged an equivalent Iateral connection charge, and if the extra cost o£ the hoo]cup was more than the connection charge, it is let yo at that. He said that the City has never refunded paid cash L-or the excess costs and there has never been another lateral assessment levied a'rter the connection cliarge has been paid, so that allowing credit against a future assessment has never come up. He said thac the average lateral assessments change =rom year to year. �"�ayor Kirkham sa�d he Leli rt wisest to �ollv,a the policy the Council has fo7_Iaaed in the past. The City Attorney said that he could not see any practical reason why they `aould disconnect the hoo;cup if it was done with an outside drop. Mr. Schurr said that they would like to ge� this settled and as far as they were cancerned, as a permanent connection. Councilman Liebl said that ii the policy was changed and the City paid any future assessmenL, , the money would have to come out af the sewer £und and the Ca.ty would be subsidizing this. The Council also discussed the REC charges for Minco. Mr. Schurr showed the Council a letter he had previously received irom the Cicy Manager and said that naw he had been intormed that he has to pay the charge naw. The City Manager suggested that the Adrninistraiion write an agreement wii.h Minco confirming what tlze letter trom L-he City Man ager said in the £orm oi an agree- men" stating that the $2,500 in escrow is not the final amount, and c�h en the tinal usage charga is estab7_ished, Minca wi11 pay the diiferential. �i'his would a11aw them ta pick up their permit, and they can pay any additional charges due in the future. The Finance Director was asked to explain again how the lateral charge p�licy is handled. He said that i.he property owner would pay the cost or the coxuzection to the manhole; the City would iigure the equivalent lateral charge and deduct any extra cost the property owner may have h�d from the charge. He said that ii there is any extra cost over the normal lateral charge, the pro�etty owner does not pay anything, but the City does not pay � t1�e property owner anything either. , � �� � SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING, JULY 29, 1960^ PEiG� F3 MOTION by Councilman 6amuelson to concinue L-he established Council policy on hookup charges. Mr. Schurr asked it they would get crectit iL there was ever a lateral charge. The F'inance Darector said that it had never happened before and it was unlikely chat iL would happen here. Gouncilman Liebl said that the City would have to prove there was a benefit to their property, so how coula he be assessed. The MOTION was seconded by Couttcilman Liebl, and upon a voice vota, there being no nays, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carraed unanimously. MOTION by Councilman Harris that tlxe Administration grant the sewer permit to the Minco Products, Inc., and prepare an agreement stab.ng that Minco Products, Inc. agrees to pay any additional L-uture costs over and above the $2,500 in escrow.
