Determining this to be an earnest request on the part of the landowners, the City commissioned a preliminary engineering report on the requirements of extending City sewer services into this area. This report is now complete and available for construction design and planning. It has been the general consensus of Council that if this area is to be developed to urban density, it is in the best interests of the City and the landowners in the area that it be served by City sewer services. RECOMMENDATION: It is the opinion of staff that it would be prudent to send out a request for proposals to solicit the front-end investment by the private sector in this sewer extension project. This may prove to be an effective gauge of the interest level of the landowners and investors of the community to invest in this area. Therefore, staff recommends that Council pass Resolution 4987 to direct that the RFP be transmitted. FISCAL EFFECTS: None at this time. Respectfully submitted, a 4 Cha es Harba1f, City Attorney es H.
