Regular City Council Meeting
7.7.

Information
Agenda Item
Resolution - City Council:
Consider a resolution creating an ad-hoc committee to study and report to the City Council its findings and recommendations, regarding repair and replacement of the portion of sanitary sewer lateral lines in the public right-of-way.
Item Summary
The recent change in the City ordinance regarding repair/replacement of private sewer lateral lines brought to light many instances of inconsistency in the cost of said work. In several cases, there appears to be a large disparity between the expected average cost of these repairs and what a customer was required to pay. Based on this, and in light of the need to develop a permanent solution, an ad-hoc committee is proposed.
The Committee will include eleven members. One member is to be appointed by each elected official, with the Mayor’s appointee serving as the Chair, for a total of seven. Four members are to be selected from the currently registered plumbers authorized to work in the rights-of-way. These four will be selected by the Council as a whole, bringing the Committee to a total of eleven. Note: there are currently twenty-one registered plumbing companies that meet this requirement, and the list is attached.
The City Council can adopt the resolution and create the Committee at this meeting, and return to the meeting on April 23, 2024, to appoint the eleven members.
The Committee will study all matters related to this issue and return to the City Council with their findings no later than the first meeting in July.
The City Manager and City Attorney, or their designees, shall attend all meetings of the Committee and serve as resources as requested.
Fiscal Impact
N/A - any meeting costs will be absorbed into existing, approved budgets.
