To: Mark E. Bernhardson. City Administrator <br />From: Michael P. Gaffron, Asst Planning & Zoning Administrator <br />Date: January 17, 1989 <br />Subject: SAC Charge Refunds - Additional Information <br />Additional information regarding the M.W.C.C. SAC Charge Refund <br />Program limitations and requirements has been obtained from Don Bluhm of <br />the M.W.C.C. as follows: <br />1. The City Council does have the sole authority to take part in or <br />reject participation in the SAC Refund Program. The M.W.C.C. has no <br />requirement for a public hearing to be held. It is up to the <br />individual cities to determine whether or not they want to hold a <br />public hearing, and whether or not they wish to participate. <br />2. It is Bluhm's feeling that the City would probably not have any <br />future liability if we do not take part in the program. Furthermore, <br />he notes that of 105 communities eligible for a SAC Refund Program, <br />only 5 or 6 have elected to proceed with the program, but more than <br />half of the 105 have said they will not take part in such a program. <br />3. He reiterated that of the few cities that have choosen a program, <br />typically they have designated only portions of the areas in the <br />community as being eligible for refunds, and have identified other <br />areas which will likely be sewered in the near or far future, as <br />not being eligible for the program. <br />4. Our next step is to draft a resclution based on the Council's <br />wishes, and transmit such resolution to the M.W.C.C. They do not <br />require a list of eligible properties if we choose to not participate. <br />Please advise if you want me to draft a resolution rejecting <br />participation in the SAC Refund Program.
