SEWER LATERAL REGULATIONS PUBLIC HEARING
We have just learned that the date for the Public Hearing regarding responsibility
for sewer lateral repair has been changed from July 10, 2007 to July 24, 2007.
However, based on the information that we had at the time, the Clerk's Office
noticed the matter last week for the meeting of July 10. Unfortunately, it is too
late for us to retract the notices from the newspapers.
Therefore, this matter should be placed on the July 10 agenda for continuance.
If you concur, we will happy to prepare an agenda bill to continue the public
hearing to July 24, 2007.
I have also notified Acting City Engineer Johnson of this issue. Please let me
know if you have any questions, or would like to discuss this further.
