A public hearing should be called for September 22, 1980, to receive e input. The City entered into an intergovernmental agreement in 1977, amended it in 1978, and is under obligation to adopt the regional rates. The only rate that the City has control over is the $1.95 local charge. Ms. Racette explained that the $3.05 charge is to cover maintenance and includes a capital charge which would be put aside to offset future costs. She said that they expect to have no increases in the charges unt il 1983. Between now and then operation and maintenance costs will go up but the capital reserve funds will be used to cover those added costs so that by 1983 no funds would go to the capital fund, but all charges would go to cover operation/maintenance costs. Ms. Miller asked the rationale for charging people a "sewers available" fee. Mr. Cook explained the system was des-igned for that individual's use whether the person uses it or not. Mr. Lieuallen moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, to call a public hearing for September 22, 1980; re: proposed ordinance to imple- ment new Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission sewer users' charges. Motion carried unanimously. I I I. PUBLIC HEARINGS e A. Street Vacation for Krumdieck (SV 80-1) (map distributed) Manager explained this was not a routine street vacation. A housing project for handicapped and mentally retarded is being considered for the vacated street. Section 8 special funding is being applied for at . HUD. The project is not close to final stagps. The Planning Commis- sion has approved the vacation unanimously. The City would require a payment. The exact figure of the payment is under negotia- tion. Manager recommended only a first hearing until the details were worked out. Two letters had been received protesting the vacation itself. He introduced Mr. Croteau, Planning, to respond to the letters. Mr. Croteau explained the Planning Commission did consider the street vacation this summer and unanimously recommended approval. The intent is to incorporate the vacated street into a subsidized 35-unit housing development for the handicapped. In 1978 the City rezoned the south tax lots to RG/SR with attached Site Review. The staff has not reviewed any project plans for the purpose of site review. Judith Tegger, at the time of the zone hearing, asked that she be notified when site review was begun. Mr. Long referred to the letter of September 15, 1980, which outlined seven issues. Mr. Long said he would reply to the first three. e 9/17/80--5
