Council introduces ordinance to amend mandatory sewer-connection rules after public hearing
Summary
After a public hearing on Oct. 22, 2024, Maricopa City Council voted 4–1 to waive reading and introduce an ordinance amending Chapter 13.12 (Section 13.12.015) on mandatory sewer connections; City Administrator Eric Ziegler presented the staff report and there were no public commenters.
Maricopa City Council on Oct. 22 introduced an ordinance to amend Chapter 13.12 of the City of Maricopa Municipal Code to clarify mandatory sewer connections (Section 13.12.015) after a public hearing and staff presentation. City Administrator Eric Ziegler "gave report" to the council during the hearing, and there were no public comments recorded for or against the measure.
Council then moved forward on two procedural steps: Council Member Crump moved to waive the reading of the ordinance and Council Member Owens seconded; the motion passed on a 4–1 recorded vote (Ayes: Albright, Crump, Owens, Morse; Noes: Bell). Crump again moved to introduce the ordinance, seconded by Albright; that motion passed on the same 4–1 tally, formally placing the ordinance on the council’s legislative track for subsequent readings or actions.
The proposed change targets mandatory sewer connections under Chapter 13.12, Section 13.12.015 of the municipal code, as stated in the hearing notice. The public record shows the mayor opened the hearing at 6:32 p.m. and closed it at 6:45 p.m. No opponents or proponents submitted verbal comments during the hearing, according to the meeting minutes. Next steps (including potential dates for a second reading or adoption) were not specified in the transcript.
