He expressed agreement with this language as it gives the residents a lengthy extensxon and gives the City assurances that at some date certain, they will hook up. We need to have a date certain. It can be different from 10 years but we do need to have one. Councilmem~r Peterson agreed. Councilmem~r Zimmerman suggested it would be nice if there was a device to run City sewer througb and let whomever wants to hook up to do so and who doesn't want to doesn't have Councilmem~r Peterson reminded Councllmember Zimmerman that the extension has to be paid for s~mehow. That type of program would cost the tax payers a lot of money. CouncilmemSer Zimmerman stated he still has a problem with a date certain and asked if a more positiv~ solution couldn't be found.
