� Council meeting with the bid award. This would be a change order to the initial project and wouldn't change the original cost estimates for the Mytlewood properties. • Once property is assessed, the property owner is obligated to pay the costs. If Comforts of Home didn't complete their project,they would still have to pay the assessment. The property becomes more valuable once sewer and water are available. Even though the system has been designed for 40 units, it doesn't guarantee that a different project is entitled to 40 units. The number of approved sewer units would be reviewed as part of a new application; however, it may be difficult to restrict another project to fewer units. C. Casco Point • Mud has become an issue; contractor was out on Sunday and has been working to get things cleaned up. • A map detailing storm sewer information was discussed. A pond will be constructed on a city-owned parcel with the downstream piping to be completed when all easements from affected properties are obtained. 3. Sugar Woods—Water Connection Charge • Questions regarding the water connection fee policy were raised because Public Works had a request for information on how to provide irrigation to the common areas of the Sugar Woods development. • After reviewing the history of the development and water connection fees,Council agreed with the staff recommendation that no additional water connection charges would be required for this particular development. The Homeowners Association will install an irrigation system for the common areas and will be charged for the water usage. 4. Xcel Energy • Information was provided regarding a Lighting Efficiency Program with rebates that is available to Xcel Energy customers. • Although the program may provide savings over time, Council was not in favor of pursing at this time because of budget constraints.
