Council adopts sewer capital facilities plan; members ask staff to monitor ERUs tied to accessory units
Summary
Council adopted Resolution 25-25 adopting the Sewer Capital Facilities Plan and asked staff to monitor sewer flow modeling because accessory dwelling units (ADUs) could raise equivalent residential units (ERUs) in near-term projections; staff said the model can be updated and that problem areas will be identified during monitoring.
The council adopted Resolution 25-25, the Sewer Capital Facilities Plan, and discussed long-term capacity planning and monitoring.
One council member urged staff to account for auxiliary dwelling units when projecting sewer flows, saying recent state changes make ERU projections difficult "because of the auxiliary dwelling units, which actually increases the potential ERUs per hole." Staff and consultants said the city's model can be updated and that the plan will be monitored and revised on the recommended schedule.
The resolution passed following council comment and a roll-call vote. Council asked staff to bring an analysis and schedule for audits and monitoring back to the council before year-end to ensure potential capacity constraints are identified and addressed.
