WOODLAND PARK W/S Supt. Hyde explained that he has spoken to the Pizza Hut repre-
sentative, who will be locating a Pizza Hut in the building next to the Scoreboard
Bar, and has advised them of the annexation procedure, hookup fees and possible
water main extension. In addition to the $500 per unit hookup fee there is a late-
comers fee for people to tie onto the system that the residents in SID 337 paid for.
An ordinance will have to be passed to formalize the additional charge.
A recommendation was made to establish a late comers fee for all areas receiving
service from the Woodland Park lift station who are out of the SID 337.
Discussion took place in regard to extending the deadline for the residents who have
not hooked onto the system -- to keep the hookup fee at $350 as an encouragement.
•The Committee made the decision to recommend to the staff that the Committee is
willing to allow the $350 hookup fee for a brief period providing the City has firm
commitments that the residents will hookup before the end of the construction season.
