Economic Development Commission Minutes <br /> September 18, 2012 <br /> Page 2 of 2 <br /> The Commission Members noted that the water ordinance needs to be amended to <br /> include language requiring hooking up to city utility. <br /> It was the consensus of the members to adopt ERU rates based on the examples to <br /> use the remaining system capacity. When asked if the ERU rates could be <br /> negotiated, Mr. Woog stated that they could not and he stated a formula would be <br /> used to determine the rate. A subsidy policy could be used as an incentive to <br /> work with potential businesses, etc. The ERU rates and subsidy policy are two <br /> different discussions and policies. <br /> Staff was directed to provide a draft ordinance to the EDC next month, based on <br /> the examples to use the remaining system; the recommendation from the EDC <br /> would go to the City Council in November. Comments from the Planning <br /> Commission can be included in the draft ordinance. <br /> Staff was asked to provide the voting requirements for the ordinance amendment: <br /> simple majority or 4/5? <br /> MARK JURCHEN MOVED TO DRAFT THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE <br /> AMENDMENT BASED ON REMAINING SYSTEM CAPACITY FOR <br /> DISCUSSION AT THE OCTOBER EDC MEETING,WITH <br /> RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL IN NOVEMBER.
