Council introduces ordinance to update sewer connection EDU factors; first reading waived
Summary
The council introduced an ordinance to align sewer connection charges with a recent study (setting multifamily EDU at 0.88 and mobile homes at 0.85), waived the first reading, and left final adoption pending the standard return after public comment.
The Council opened and closed the public hearing on proposed amendments to municipal code section 13-04-040 to update Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) factors for sewer connection charges and introduced the ordinance for first reading.
Public works staff (speaker 24) summarized a June 2024 study and explained the city had already implemented the updated EDU values administratively: single-family at 1.0, multifamily units at 0.88 EDUs per unit, and mobile homes at 0.85 EDUs per unit. "This is basically a cleanup item," staff said, noting the ordinance codifies what the finance department had been applying since council review earlier in the year.
Council voted to introduce the ordinance and waive the first reading; a late public comment submission will be considered ahead of final adoption on the subsequent reading.
Next steps: staff will post the corrected ordinance language, include the late comment in the record, and return the item for formal adoption per standard ordinance procedures.
