. i <br /> In the process of preparing the revisions to Chapter 74 City staff did obtain comments from a <br /> limited number of selected outside local sources considered to have a direct interest in this <br /> matter. These included Charles Hunsinger of Bainbridge, Gee, Milanski & Associates; Phillip <br /> W. Cochran; and Greg Kutchy and Gary Hornickel of the Sanitary District of Decatur. In <br /> addition, staff did review the codes and ordinances from other agencies as a matter of practice to <br /> obtain information on how other agencies may regulate and address issues that are similar to <br /> those the City encounters. <br /> A copy of the proposed revised Chapter 74, Sewer Service and Connections (Exhibit A), is <br /> attached. The proposed revisions represent a significant and substantive change to the existing <br /> Chapter 74. An "executive summary" is attached listing the substantive revisions to the current <br /> Chapter 74 and the reason for incorporating the proposed revision. <br /> A copy of the proposed revised Chapter 75, Water Connections and Services (Exhibit B), is also <br /> attached. The proposed revisions to Chapter 75 are basically renaming the chapter and the <br /> deleted language referencing sewer service and connections. <br /> The revisions to Chapter 74 will aid the City in better managing and maintaining the integrity of <br /> its sanitary sewer system. This will primarily occur through improved guidance and control <br /> relating to the installation of sanitary sewer services and the manner in which they are used, <br /> managed and maintained. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTION: No known objectors. <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: <br /> Input was obtained from Matt Newell, City Engineer, and Wendy Morthland, Corporation <br /> Counsel. Input from outside sources included Charles Hunsinger of Bainbridge, Gee, Milanski <br /> &Associates; Phillip W. Cochran; and Greg Kutchy and Gary Hornickel of the Sanitary District <br /> of Decatur. <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: <br /> The Director of Engineering and Infrastructure, Steve Swanson, will be in attendance at the City <br /> Council meeting to answer any questions of the Council on this item.
