Councilmember Riley <br />stated he found the Program contained rules that he does not support so he does not support <br />participation. Mayor Pro Tem Backous stated he too has the highest respect for the EPB and <br />while this Program may be a tool, it could be misused and he does not believe the City needs an <br />outside agency involved. <br />Motion failed.

Absent: Mayor Strommen and <br />Councilmember Johns. <br />7.03: Consider Adoption of Ordinance #14 -03 Amending City Code Chapter 113, Article <br />II, Entitled Individual Sewage Treatment Systems as Required by the Minnesota <br />Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) <br />Development Services Manager Gladhill reviewed the staff report and recommendation to adopt <br />an ordinance amending Code in order for the City to remain in compliance with State Minnesota <br />Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) regulations and assure private septic systems do not become <br />a public health risk or contaminate ground water.
