Responding to Councilman Crosby, the Chief of Police explained that
offi cers on foot are at a di sadvantage. There are about six ways in

The City Attorney reported that some of the trucks are at the Highland

trucks to and from work. The immediate problem is storage of building

Counci lman Crosby asked about the reference to an "over-the-l imit sol id
wood fence." The Planner stated that a six foot high fence was brought
to Mr. Sofos's attention. The height was reduced some, it is between
five and six feel. At Councilman Crosby's request' the City Planner
was directed to inspect the fence and determine if it is of legal
height.

SEt^lER RENTAL SERVICE CHARGES ( 0rd i nan ce No. I064 i ntroduced for f irstreading February 17 , 1976)
Under date of February 10, I976, the City Attorney wrote to the City
Counci l as fol l ows: "As you will recal l, we are obl i ged to adopt a new
schedule for collecting funds for sewer rentais. l,Je have prepared a

Declaring the hearing open, Vice-l'layor Mangini invited comments from the

The City Engineer/Director of Public Works, invited by the Chair to com-
ment, eiplained that the City is presently under contract with the State
|,later Quility Control Board for grant funds to assist in financing-
construction at the treatment plant and the outfal l sy*em. The Environ-
mental Protection Agency imposed a retroactive requirement on the con-
tract indicating the City should comply with current and new guidelines
for a revenue piogram. lire 0rdinance before the Council compl ies with
the requirements. Each jurisdiction is required to have each user pay
for i mprovements to the sewer sys tem in proporti on- to. its usage of the
system. Industrial users will pay a proportionately higher fee because

v.ice-Mayor Mangini asked if it is the intent that each jurisdiction be
requirei to bear maintenance costs of its system. The City Engineer-
responded "yes." Also, the City is obligated to establish a capital

Counci I man Cusi ck s tated she was will ing to accept the fact tha t the
