City of Pequot Lakes WAC& SAC Assistance July 20,2012 Issue At the June 5,2012 City Council meeting—as a follow-up to previous discussions-the Economic Development Committee(EDC)asked the City Council to develop Water Availability Charge(WAC)and Sewer Availability Charge(SAC) Ordinances. The City Council approved this. Scope of This Work To assist in the above, we (WSN)had submitted a proposal for the following basic tasks: 1. Prepare draft WAC and SAC Ordinances. A review by the City Attorney would be over and above this work. 2. Determine the WAC and SAC amounts. This is not an all-inclusive economic exercise,but rather one rather basic method of many methods that could be used. The City would need to provide appropriate financial information. 3. We would meet with the City(staff and Council liaison)twice to review the Ordinances and determine the WAC and SAC amounts. If more than two meetings are needed,we can schedule them,but this would be over and above this work. The City Council approved moving forward with the above. A committee was formed to work with Tim Houle from WSN.The committee included City Clerk Sandy Peine, Finance Administrator/Deputy City Clerk Nancy Malecha, Public Works Supervisor Mike Loven,Tommy Woog from the EDC, and Council Member Tom Ryan. The committee met on Thursday,July 19,2012 at 8:30 a.m. (Tom was not able to attend). The following information from Tim was reviewed and discussed. The committee agreed to forward this information to the EDC for their review at their August 21, 2012, 8:00 a.m.meeting and then to the Planning Commission for their review at their September 20, 2012, 6:30 p.m. meeting prior to it being presented to the City Council (probably at their October 2, 2012 meeting).
