Subject: Water connection charge ordinance
Why this matter is before the board: This matter involves adoption of an
ordinance increasing the water connection charge schedule. Only the board can
adopt an ordinance.
History: By the time we reach this point in the agenda you will have completed
the public hearing on this proposed ordinance. You are now in position to take
action on the ordinance. As I indicated earlier, you are able to adopt the draft
ordinance, or amend and adopt the draft ordinance, or postpone action until a
later date. That is your choice.

the water connection charge schedule to take affect sixty days after adoption.
