Council President <br /> Location Preceding Action Attachments Department(s) Approval <br /> City of Everett Sewer Ordinance 2688-03, Proposed Ordinance. Legal <br /> Service Area Budget Committee: <br /> Oct 8, 2008 <br /> Amount Budgeted <br /> Expenditure Required Account Number(s): <br /> Budget Remaining <br /> Additional Required <br /> DETAILED SUMMARY STATEMENT: <br /> This amendment would increase the funding assistance limit from $4,000 to $8,000 and extends this funding <br /> opportunity to existing sewer customers that have non-conforming sewer connections. The original <br /> Ordinance (No. 1561-89) established this funding assistance opportunity, with a maximum amount of <br /> $4,000, in order to encourage retirement of existing septic systems. To date, that Ordinance has been <br /> amended three times (Nos. 1816-91, 2084-95 and 2688-03) and the maximum funding amount has remained <br /> unchanged. The proposed increase from $4,000 to $8,000 is approximately equivalent to the escalation of <br /> utility construction costs since 1989. Increasing the maximum funding amount would restore the value of <br /> this financial incentive as it was originally intended. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(Exact action requested of Council): <br /> Adopt an Ordinance amending Ordinance No. 1561-89, as amended by Ordinances No. 1816-91, 2084-95 <br /> and 2688-03, authorizing an increase of sewer utility funding to encourage installations of sanitary sewers in <br /> unsewered areas of the City and establishing rates and charges related thereto. <br /> 15 <br /> C:\Documents and Settings\pcomish\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK1ED\Ordinance amending 1561-89 and 2688-03 CC Agenda Cover Oct.DOC <br />
