City Council Resolution abandoning their city ordinance(s) related to the SSTS (septic) <br />program. <br />2. A signed agreement between the City and the County (have an example attached from the <br />City of Rogers). <br />3. Copies (or originals) of all SSTS (septic) records on file with the City. <br />4. Notice of 1 year (if possible) ahead of City transferring SSTS authority to the County. <br /> <br />No, there is no cost to the City associated with this transfer. <br />Yes, the county has adequate resources – including 4 certified/licensed SSTS inspectors on staff. <br />No, once the transfer of SSTS authority is complete, the county cannot ‘delegated’ back to the city at <br />some future time. <br /> <br />Hennepin County has no ‘planning & zoning’ authority in any city. So, we do not have a building <br />inspection program or any other related (construction) programs. We integrate our SSTS services as <br />part of each city’s process – a step – in the city controlled process. So, if you currently have a SSTS <br />(septic) step in any of your permitting procedures, the county would perform that step for the city. <br />For example, if the City receives a building permit for a new home or a remodel that includes an <br />added bedroom, the County would perform the Septic portion of your permitting process. <br />Obviously, there’s some communication needs here, but we can work with the City and your <br />customers to make it a smooth transition. <br /> <br /> Duane Hudson, RS <br />Program ManagerEnvironmental Health <br />Office: 612-543-5215 | Mobile: 612-408-5002 | Fax: 952-351-5222duane.hudson@hennepin.us | hennepin.us <br />West Suburban Human Services Center1011 First St SHopkins, MN 55343
