SUBJECT: Resolution Establishing a 60 Day Amnesty Period for the
Processing of Temporary Water Connection Approvals for
Existing Unpermitted Temporary Water Connections
Summary:
At the August 19, 2014 City Council meeting, during discussion of Old Coach Estates
neighborhood water issues, the City Council directed staff to establish a 60 day City-
wide amnesty period during which the owners of property with an existing unpermitted
temporary water connection can process a temporary water connection approval for
their property without being required to pay the current $2,617 temporary water
connection fee.
Recommended Action:
It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached Resolution (Attachment
A) establishing a 60 day amnesty period for the processing of temporary water
connection approvals for existing unpermitted temporary water connections.
Background:
On August 19, 2014 staff presented a report to the City Council addressing Old Coach
Estates neighborhood water issues. In the report staff identified seven properties with
existing water connections which would have required approval as temporary water
connections at the time they were installed. During discussion the City Council directed
staff to return to Council with an ordinance to streamline the process for obtaining
approval of temporary water connections, and directed staff to establish a 60 day
amnesty period for temporary water connections. During the amnesty period the
owners of property with an existing unpermitted temporary water connection can
process a temporary water connection approval for their property without being required
to pay the current $2,617 temporary water connection fee.
