Mr. Schmidt stated that he comes <br /> before the Committee to reaffirm Ordinance 10461-16. This was brought before the Council in <br /> October, 2016 and passed. Mr. Schmidt stated, That particular ordinance largely dealt with the <br /> removal of compact fees and the assessment of system development charges for wastewater and <br /> water users. We did not provide proper notice to wastewater users outside of the City's corporate <br /> boundaries. This really deals with three (3) or four(4) sections that only touch upon wastewater <br /> users outside of the corporate district. The rest of that ordinance is still good, actionable law. The <br /> only thing that exists right here, in front of the Council, is to allow for a public hearing, pursuant <br /> to the statute, so that all users outside of the corporate boundaries may provide an opportunity to <br /> get their voice to the Council about the rate change and, in this particular instance,the fourteen <br /> percent(14%) surcharge that was being implemented in place of compact fees.
