427 Fire Department report indicated the existing unit was over ten years old , the manufacturer was no longer in business and parts were unobtainable , Safety and pollution minimum requirements were strict , and because of wear and design , the present unit was producing more heat and pollutants which could only partially be overcome by limiting pumping time , which was restrictive and unsafe . Proposed unit would be of larger capacity to accommodate new type tanks , and would be water- cooled and designed with modern teflon rings to minimize heat , wear and internal pollution problem . Funds were available in the current Budget . Motion carried on roll call vote , Councilman Henderson being noted absent . Outside City Limits Sewer Connection Fees , Councilman Rhodes moved to adopt RESOLUTION NO . 6685 ESTABLISHING CERTAIN FEES PURSUANT TO RESOLUTION NO , 5280 RELATING TO SEWER CONNECTION PERMIT ( CLARK- GULL) , seconded by Councilman Williams . Staff report indicated a conditional sewer connection permit had been granted by Council on February 13 , 1967 to Lewis W . Clark for four parcels fronting on Upland Road and situated in the County . John Gull , the present owner , had applied for the Permit and was in process of fulfilling conditions specified . Municipal Code regulations establish a basic sewer connection fee , but does not set the amount of the fee to be charged fa' connections outside City Limits , since this was subject to " such terms , conditions and fees as the Council finds necessary or appropriate " , Staff recommended that a non- refundable fee of $ 500 per connection be charged , in addition to the basic connection fee . Councilman Williams noted this was a change in policy , since the $ 500 previously was refundable , and asked for justification for the change . City Manager responded that the recommendation was for a policy change in that respect . He indicated that the request under discussion represented an exceptional situation , since Council did enter an agreement previously , although that agreement had left the fee open . What was being suggested to Council was that the fee be changel in concept from refundable to non-refundable on an interim basis , pending completion of Emerald Lake Hills General Plan study , and review of City ' s annexation and connection fees policies . If the property owner later decided to annex , the fees would be taken into considera- tion , although in this instance he recommended that there be no reference to the fee in terms of annexation , so as not to jeopardize City ' s position in considering applicability of Zoning Ordinance , In response to question concern- ing the amount arrived at for the fee , City Manager indicated this was arbitrary , derived from fee being refundable , and was an interim fee simply based on history . 2 -28 -72
