AGENDA ITEM 8 - RESOLUTION 4318-PRIVATE FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM
.aT
BACKGROUND/CONSIDERATION: I have enclosed a resolution that will
eliminate the connection fee for suppression system connections to
our water system.
RECOMMENDATION: This was enclosed in your original report. I
highly recommend this resolution be adopted. In addition to the
adoption of the resolution, we also recommend the water connection
fees be refunded to those customers that paid connection fees under
the current fee schedule (those approved on June 17, 1996). This
would qualify only Loren's Auto Repair in the amount of $16,384.
The Hampton Inn's fee ($896) was paid under the prior connection
fee schedule and should not be refunded.
ACTION REQUIRED: The RESOLUTION should be approved to implement the
change/reduction in connection fees. A MOTION authorizing the
connection fee of $16,384 should also be approved (for the record)
for Loren's Auto Repair.
