City Council members did not express any opposition as to what was being proposed with the understanding that if these were to be private and gated, that they would be built to City standards, but maintained by the owners. Proposed Utility Rate Change City Manager Saunders discussed a proposed change to the utility rates pertaining to not charging a sewer incremental charge when notification was given of filling a pool or when a water line break occurred since it would not have any sewer impact. No opposition was stated and it will be brought to the Council in resolution form. Sludge Agreement City Manager Saunders stated that Sumter County is proposing to take the City's sludge on a temporary basis for a test mn at their new facility.
