City Attorney Ogle has conferred with Attorney Bill Johnstone and the wording for the amendment to the storm. sewer ordinance has been changed, Councilman Ruiz moved first reading-of_Ordinace #1011, an ordinance to amend Section I, 2.06, Deposit of Collections, of Ordinance #862, Seconded by Councilman Grainger. Councilman Nystul objected to the amendment because he believes it changes the philosophy of the sewer bond operation. When the 1976 sewer bonds in the amount of $445,000 were sold it was understood that when the 1968 and 1972 issues were paid off, the same amount of money transferred from the sanitary sewer fund for these issues would then be used to pay on the 1976 issue. This amendment would put storm sewer money into the general sewer operating fund and reverse the original plan. Director of Public Works Hafferman explained that according to EPA regulations, sanitary sewer money cannot be -used to maintain storm sewers, At present when the sewer line crews are called out to�unplug or work on storm sewers, they are paid from the Sanitary Sewer Fund. This year $5,000 was budgeted for salaries from the Storm Sewer Fund, and a portion of it has been used. It was further stated that the City ordinance and the bond indenture ordinance are in conflict. The bond indenture ordinance states that the revenue from the storm sewer assessment shall be used to retire the debt and maintain the storm sewer. Question called. Councilman Nystul voted nay. All other Councilmen voted aye. Ordinance #1011 passed first reading. Councilman Ruiz reported that when the Sewer & Water Committee meets with the other committees on April 15th, he would like all of the Council members present.
