Case #4: Report from Finance Committee Councilmember Elvig reported the Finance Committee had four things on the agenda. The last two items regarding the RTC Master Agreement and RTC Park Agreement will be discussed later in the agenda. 1.) Amendment of the 2004 Schedule of Rates, Fees and Charges Finance Officer Lund explained this case is to bring back the water and sewer trunk fees, which were previously adopted in January of 2004, amended on August 10, 2004, and amended again on September 13, 2004. The increase in rates on August l0th were due to a sewer and water study done by a consulting firm of the City. A developer came forward with concerns due to the large increase and the Council then amended the rates to a graduated increase, beginning at 25% of the total increase amount. After reviewing the water study it was determined it would be best to amend the rates back to the 2004 January 1st adopted rates. Any determined increases will be brought forward in October for adoption on January 1, 2005. The recommendation tonight is to re-amend the rates for sewer and water trunk charges back to the January 2004 adopted rates of water at $1,327/unit and sewer at $596/unit. Motion by Councihnember Cook, seconded by Councilmember Elvig, to ratify the recommendation of the Finance Committee and adopt Resolution #04-09-300 Amending the 2004 Schedule of Rtes, Fees and Charges to include the following: Water Trunk Charge $1,327/unit Sewer Trunk Charge $596/unit Motion can:led. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Cook, Elvig, Kurak, Pearson, Strommen, and Zimmennan. Voting No: None. Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon advised in light of this action the Development Agreement with the Village of Sunfish Lake 2~,d Addition should now be amended to the 2004 rates.
