new policies, an Inviornmental Impact Statement. Mr. Edgar stated that he would set dates for Study Sessions on this budget and tentatively scheduled the public hearing on the 1972-73 Budget for May 22, 1972. Further report Re: Increase of the Sewer Connection Fees Mr. Edgar reported that this report is before the Ci~y~Council because of the action taken by the Board of Directors of the Valley Community Services District at their special meeting on April 25th, increasing the district's sewer connection fees to $735,00 for Single Family, $550.00 for Multiples and $420 for Mobile Homes. Mr. Edgar stated that in light of the City Council's action last week, and as a result of your expression to keep the City's fees at the same level as those of the District, he would propose that the City's sewer connection fees be increased again on an urgency basis in order to keep pace with the increases levied by V.C.S.D. He recommended that the City's sewer connection fees be established as follows: Single-Family: $735.00 Multiple: 550.00 Mobile Homes: 420.00 Councilman Pearson urged the Council to increase these amounts even high- er in order to build a cash reserve for the time when the city will need new sewer capacity, whether it be that a new plant is built by the City, or by V.C.S.D. or Zone No. 7. He suggested that the City define what it wants to accomplish and set the fees accordingly. Mayor Reid stated that he felt that any action other than what is pro- posed by the City Manager should be delayed at this time because of pending litigation involving the City and V.C.S.D. Councilman Pearson still objected by stating that the 200 building per- mits granted these next two months will depreciate our fund just that much more and emphasized that there can be no realistic sewer connection fee unless it is related to costs. Councilman Kinney agreed that there should be an evaluation of that fee but felt it was irrational to take this kind of action tonight. Councilman Mori indicated that he felt that the Council should take an agressive .positive attitude but should wait until adequate data is available in order to make an intelligent decision. After further discussion on this entire matter, it was moved by Council- man Mori and seconded by Councilman Kinney that Ordinance No. 661, in- creasing the sewer connection fee as recommended by the City Manager in his report of April 28, 1972, be adopted on an urgency basis. Councilman Pearson moved to amend ~e Ordinance to decrease the sewer service fee to $3.00 per month. There being no second to Councilman Pearson's amendment, Mayor Reid called for the vote on Ordinance No. 661. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmen Herlihy, Kinney, Mori, Pearson and Mayor Reid NOES: None ABSENT: None 4. 5-1-72
