Answering a question from Ms. Schue, he said street sweeping charges are included in the storm drainage system operation and maintenance charges in the sewer user fees. Ms. Wooten called the attention of other councilors to a memo from Councilor Hansen in which he objected to the use of water consumption as the basis for paying street sweeping costs. He said sewer uses fees should have been addressed in the budget process. He favored reducing the regional sewer charges and giving the reduction to the consumer. - MINUTES--Eugene City Council July 17, 1985 Pa ge 6
