Ordinance 15 -1433 — Amending Section 86 -31, Private Sewage Disposal Systems to Allow for a Payment Plan for Sewer Connection Costs in Excess of $5,000 The City Clerk read Ordinance 15 -1433 by title as follows: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CASSELBERRY, FLORIDA, AMENDING SECTION 86 -31, PRIVATE SEWAGE DISPOSAL SYSTEMS, TO ALLOW PROPERTY OWNERS THE OPTION TO PAY OVER FIVE YEARS FOR CONNECTION TO THE CITY SEWER SYSTEM IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES; PROVIDING FOR A LIEN AND FOR ENFORCEMENT; PROVIDING FOR CODIFICATION, CONFLICTS, SEVERABILITY AND EFFECTIVE DATE." Staff Presentation: City Manager Randy Newton gave a brief overview of Ordinance 15 -1433, explaining that the City was very fortunate to have a massive sewer infi•astructure which provided sewer benefits to most of the City and to some utility customers outside the City limits. He added that there were still some pockets where customers were on a septic system, but had the availability of sewer connection. He further added that there were major costs involved in connecting to the City's sewer system, especially for commercial customers, and if approved, Ordinance 15 -1433 would provide those customers connecting to the system for the first time whose costs exceeded $5,000.00 the ability to finance those costs for a period of five years, which was longer than what was currently allowed by the City's Code. He advised that in exchange for this benefit, the customer would be required to sign a promissory note in favor of the City, and a lien would be recorded against the customer's property until payment in full was received. Budget Impact: There is no impact to the City budget. Recommendation: The City Manager and the Public Works Director recommended approval of Ordinance 15 -1433 on first reading. Audience Participation: No one came forward to address Ordinance 15 -1433. MOTION: Commissioner Aramendia moved to approve Ordinance 15 -1433 on first reading, as presented.
