Alliance Church Reductipn of Sanitar Sewer Hook-up Charges Mayor Hinkle indOcated that the Alliance Church Executive Board members disagree with the City's osition regarding the number of units that should be assigned to the Church for s nitary sewer hook-up fees. Mayor Hinkle indOcated that initially, the sanitary sewer hook-up charges for the Alliance Church yere established at $13,380, which provided for 22.3 units. Mayor Hinkle further indicated that after reviewing the City's sanitary sewer hook-up charge established at the $13,380, the Alliance Church Board decided this number was too large; therefore, Mr. Ken Mitchell had a series of meetings with Darrell Mack, Rick Breezee, and the City Administrator, which alternately resulted in a reduced fee to $9,084. Mayor Hinkle indicated that:the Alliance Church Executive Board still has some concerns regarding the fee for the sanitary sewer hook-up charge. Mr. Ken Mitchell, representative of the Alliance Church Executive Board, indicated that originally it was understood that the estimate for the sanitary sewer hook-up would be approximately $3,000, and further indicated that the Executive Board felt $9,084 was higher than they felt it should be for the capacity of the Church. Discussion was carried on regarding the means of calculation for the sanitary sewer usage of the Church. The City Administrator indicated that the formula the City used was presented by the Alliance Church Communi tee and based upon students use at the rate of 25 sq. ft. per studnet. Mr. Ken Mitchell indicated that the school would never have more than 130 students at one time, and the City's calcula- tion would allow for more than 130 students. Mr. Ken Mitchell further indicated that he felt the large multi-purpose room should not be considered for sanitary sewer usage as the people that use the facilities would be counted for or allocated for in the actual Church and classroom area. The City Administrator indicated that there was no way the City would be able to monitor or control the use of the multi-purpose room. The City Administrator in- dicated that the room could be used at other times than Sunday, for weddings, fel- lowship activities, and various other uses.
