Councilmember McGlone asked about the annual growth assumptions used. <br />City Engineer Himmer indicated the assumptions used growth of 260 units per year and 2.6 <br />persons per household. <br />Councilmember McGlone noted that during years there was no growth the City was collecting <br />fees and asked if the Council is comfortable with the assumptions based on growth. <br />City Engineer Himmer explained it is for 20 years and the assumptions in the overall <br />Comprehensive Plan were higher. The assumptions used were consistent with the Utility Plan <br />and the Council can adjust up or down. He reviewed the reductions to connection fees of about <br />$1,300 /unit in total. <br />The consensus of the Council was to approve assumptions used by staff to formulate the <br />comprehensive water system CIP budget and associated rate and fee structures to fund the <br />proposed improvements. The Council directed staff to draft the final comprehensive utility plan <br />reports and schedule for adoption at a regular City Council meeting. <br />2.03: Expanded Recreational Vehicle Use <br />Police Chief Way reviewed the staff report and asked if the Council still supported the definition <br />of The COR where ATVs and golf carts would be restricted. <br />Councilmember Wise stated he thinks it will be all or nothing. <br />Mayor Ramsey stated he would like to approach this differently, make ATV /golf cart use as <br />liberal as possible, and then hold a work session to debate whether to add restrictions. <br />Councilmember McGlone stated residents in Northfork were thrilled with the idea of taking <br />some other form of transportation to this place. <br />Mayor Ramsey stated he knows the consensus by some on the Council the last time this was <br />discussed. <br />Councilmember Tossey stated he does not think anyone will use these things so he does not have <br />a problem with nonrestricted use. <br />Councilmember Strommen stated she is not in favor of opening it and asked how much staff and <br />Council time will be spent on this issue, noting there are other issues of importance and she has <br />not heard an outcry that there is a need for this. In addition, staff has been cut so she is <br />concerned about an extended debate on restrictions that should or should not be added. <br />Councilmember McGlone stated some people in Northfork like this idea so he would support an <br />ordinance without restrictions and noted the Council can change the ordinance if something does <br />not work. <br />City Council Work Session / April 24, 2012 <br />Page 7 of 10 <br />
