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. � "
