<br />Request for Action <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />To Item Number <br />Mayor and City Council 10.2 <br />Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by <br />Work Session October 5, 2020 Bob Ruprecht, Building Official <br />Item Description Reviewed by <br />Adoption of the Met Council Sewer Availability Suzanne Fischer, Community Dev. Director <br />Charge (SAC) Schedule <br />Reviewed by <br />Cal Portner, City Administrator <br /> <br />Action Requested <br />Review an ordinance adopting the Metropolitan Council SAC schedule. <br /> <br />Background/Discussion <br />The Metropolitan Council publishes and regularly updates a Sewer Availability Charge Procedure <br />Manuel. Appendix A-1 and A-2 of this manual set forth square footage and independent use criteria for <br />determining the number of SAC units applicable to commercial users. <br /> <br />The City of Elk River currently calculates commercial SAC rates pursuant to a schedule set forth in City <br />Code Section 78-189 (d). However, Section 78-189 (c) is from 1982 with a last update in 78-189 (d) in <br />2013. Staff suggests adopting Appendix A-1 and A-2 of the Met Council Manuel. <br /> <br />Benefits of following Met Council’s SAC Schedule: <br /> The Met Council Schedule is more user friendly and includes updated industries (i.e. breweries) <br /> Makes us more consistent with area municipalities <br /> Updated on a regular basis <br /> Metro area builders are already familiar with this schedule <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br /> N/A <br /> <br />Mission/Policy/Goal <br />The Elk River Mission Statement <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> Amended Ordinance 78 Service Availability Charge. <br /> Met Council SAC Procedure Manual Sections A-1 and A-2. <br />https://metrocouncil.org/Wastewater-Water/Funding-Finance/Rates-Charges/Sewer- <br />Availability-Charge/SAC-Pubs/Appendix-A-SAC-Criteria-for-Commercial-Properties.aspx <br /> <br /> <br />The Elk River Vision <br />A welcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional <br />service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity <br />
