Initiating Problem, Issues, Opportunity (Who, What, When, Where, Why): The Ciry is required to charge SAC fees associated with new development, redevelopment or new sewer coanections in the city. In 2009 the fee was $2,000 per SAC unit. This resolution authorizes the increase in the fee to $2,100, which is the rate Me[ Council requires municipalities to chazge for 2010. The City needs to collect this amount because the Met Council requires it to be fransmitted to them. Advantages If Approved: The Ciry will be authorized to collect the wrrect SAC fee, which must be paid to the Met Council. Disadvantages If Approved: Property owners will be paying more foL SAC fees when they get btilding permits or sewer connection permits. DisadvanWges N Noi Approved: The City will not be authorized [o collect the $2,100 SAC fee, which is the amount owed to Met Council. The City should not want to subsidize this fee. � " Towinmountof $2�100.00 ����i��� Transaction: CastlRevenue Budgeted: Funding Source: P�operty ownefs Activity Number: Financial Information: Funds are deposited into Fund 260 per city ordinance. �� � a � ���� (Explain) December 2, 2009 9:30 AM Page 1 �� St. �auf ii� � Septemher 10. 2009 TO: SUBJECTS: I) SGWER SERVICE AVAILABILITY CHARCiE (SAC) RATE FOR 2010 2) SAC OUTDOOR SPACE DfSCOUNT, EFFECI IVL- IN OCTOBER 1) A metropolitan (or wholesale) SAC is paid hy your municipality to the Council (MCES) as users connect to the metropolitan waste�vater s} stem for the first time or as a user's maximum demand Cor sewer capacity increases.
