He <br />indicated a policy would be developed relating to terms and process. Councilmembers McGlone <br />and Tossey stated their intent to not support the motion as it resulted in another government <br />program. Mayor Ramsey and Councilmembers Elvig and Strommen voiced support for the <br />program, subject to staff developing a policy, because it would protect resident's safety, health, <br />and welfare to be proactive and pump septic systems prior to reaching a point of failure. In <br />addition, CDBG funds involved outside funding to help people at a time of need. Development <br />Services Manager Gladhill explained staff brought forward this request because it will take time <br />for staff to develop policy. It was noted the septic tank pumping requirement was an unfunded <br />State (not City) mandate. <br />Councilmember Backous left the meeting at 8:14 p.m. <br />Further discussion: The Council discussed options for determining when a septic tank needs to <br />be pumped, such as number of occupants. <br />Motion failed as it required four votes.
