He stated he was not sure why this was a public health and safety hazard and who decided <br />it was a public healthy and safety hazard. <br /> <br />Assistant City Engineer Jankowski responded a failing septic system was determined by Council <br />and the State to be a public health and safety hazard. He noted this was a greater hazard because <br />contaminates could leave the property and contaminate service water which is distributed over a <br />wide area. He stated animals could also come into contact with the raw sewage, pick up bacteria <br />and carry it into the community. He believed this was a clear .case of public health and <br />something needed to be done about it. <br /> <br />Councilmember Look stated the question in his mind was if the septic system should be replaced <br />or repaired. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dehen asked if there were any problems with the City putting on a 25 percent <br />premium charge. <br /> <br />City Attorney Goodrich responded the 25 percent premium charge was a standard charge. He <br />indicated the City was not gaining on this charge. He did not believe this was setting any <br />precedent and there was no legal liability. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Look, seconded by Councilmember Wise, to adopt Resolution 09-11- <br />262 directing staff to cause the repair of the septic system at 16207 Azurite Street in accordance <br />with the conditioned specified with the quote information being kept private until all quotes are <br />received in the staff recommendations. <br /> <br />City Council / November 10, 2009 <br />Page 5 of8 <br />
