City attorney: tapping fees may be waived for seven new housing units off Washington and First streets
Summary
A request from the Housing Commission director asked the city to waive seven water and seven sewer tapping fees for new units. City Attorney Eric Williams advised those fees may be waived because the city is not performing the physical connections.
The City of Evart received a request from the Housing Commission director to waive tapping (connection) fees for seven new housing units — seven water connections and seven sewer connections — planned off Washington Street and First Street.
City Attorney Eric Williams reviewed the request and advised that, because the City is not performing the actual connection work, the tapping fees could be waived. The work session record does not show a council vote on the waiver request; staff presented the attorney’s determination for council consideration.
No information was provided at the work session about the identity of the developer, the timing of construction, or any financial impact estimate to the city budget. The council may take up formal action on the request at a subsequent regular meeting.
