Hobart board sets public hearing for revised connection fees under Sanitary Resolution No. 2026‑01
Summary
The Board reviewed an updated Connection Agreement intended to address tap-on fee complications and voted to set a public hearing and publish a connection fee study for the next meeting; the revision concerns water meter connection fees, not installation of service lines.
The Board reviewed Sanitary Resolution No. 2026‑01, an updated Connection Agreement intended to resolve problems caused when tap-on fees were tied to a property's use and that use later changed. Members discussed the need for City staff review and requested comparisons with tap-on fees charged by other municipalities before adoption.
On motion by Joe Broadaway and second by Gutierrez, the Board set a public hearing at the next meeting and directed publication of the connection fee study. The record clarifies the agreement pertains to water meter connection fees rather than installation of the water service line; the Board did not adopt the revised schedule at this meeting and asked staff to prepare comparative information.
