Chris Clark would like to see something done to
help out the Parks Department for the new
electrical service at the fairgrounds. He
suggested waiving the capitalization fee of
$500. Mike Klaus said he would like to help the
Parks Department because he appreciates what
they do. He would be willing to look at the
labor and handling fees but wants to make sure
the city is covering the hard costs associated
with the job. He also does not want to set
precedence by waiving fees. Tom thinks the city
does quite a bit by providing the swimming pool
and thinks the county should do what they do. He
is concerned about precedence and economic
times.
Chris Clark asked for clarification of the
handling fee. Stephen explained there are a
number of components that are used that are not
inventoried and it covers these items. Chris
Clark moved to waive the capitalization fee and
handling fee in the amount of $1,114. Motion
died for the lack of a second. Mike Klaus moved
to waive the handling fee plus half the labor
costs. Chris Clark seconded the motion. Mike
Klaus “yes”, Chris Clark “yes”, Tom Mayo “yes”.
Tim Dougherty thanked council for their
consideration.
The group discussed the request from the School
District to waive fees on a new sewer
connection. Mike Klaus said the tapping saddle
and connection fee are hard costs for the city

agreed there would be no adjustment for the
sewer connection costs for the School District.

Lane project is for the type of asphalt to be

right of way. Chris Clark moved to go forward

David said DEQ started requiring environmental
information documents (EID) several years ago on
the wastewater planning grants. He said if we
don’t plan to ask for federal loans then we
don’t need to have one. David also said an EID
must be redone every five years. If we have an
EID done during the planning grant process, it
will have to address all aspects of the plan
