Council delays proposed amendments to mandatory sewer-connection code
Summary
Councilmember Chris Larsen introduced draft changes to Preston Municipal Code 13.06.130 requiring connections to the sanitary sewer; the council voted to table the draft and asked language be softened (replace 'shall' with 'may'), remove reimbursement and misdemeanor penalties and return with revisions.
Councilmember Chris Larsen presented draft amendments to Preston Municipal Code 13.06.130 to require connection to the sanitary sewer system. After discussion, the council voted unanimously to table the draft and directed staff to revise the language: replace mandatory wording ('shall') with discretionary language ('may'), remove a proposed reimbursement option, and remove a misdemeanor penalty provision.
Councilmember Larsen moved the tabling motion and councilmembers agreed the draft needed additional adjustments before being advanced for final consideration. The minutes record the action as a tabled item; council did not adopt ordinance language or a final vote on the code change at the Feb. 10 meeting.
