WORKSHOP MEETING
APRIL 17, 1990
A Workshop Meeting of the City Council of the City of Clermont was
held Tuesday, April 17, 1990 in the City Council Chambers. The
meeting was called to order at 6:10 p.m. by Mayor Pool with the
following Council Members in attendance: Mayor Pro Tem Turville,
Council Member Norquist, Council Member Dupee and Council Member
Cole. Other City Officials present were City Manager Saunders,
Finance Director Van Zile, City Engineer Springstead, and the
Planning and Zoning Commission Chairman, Jack Sargent.
PROPOSED SUMMIT DEVELOPMENT SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT
City Manager Saunders gave each Council Member a handout comparing
the operation/maintenance costs of the 500,000 and 125,000 gallon
sewage treatment plants that he had requested from the previous
workshop. He explained to the Council that in discussions with the
Summit representatives since the last meeting, they expressed a new
concern regarding the carrying costs of the additional money that
would have to be put up front for the building of the larger sewage
treatment plant.
City Manager Saunders explained that a method to alleviate the
problem would be to charge a sewer connection charge for a
specified number of units and that money would be returned to the
developer as collected. The fee would be calculated to reimburse
the developer for the additional carrying charges for the capital
outlay associated with the larger treatment plant. The additional
costs the City would incur were also explained and included the
building of a lift station in the Three Sisters Lakes area, a force
main from Lift Station #18 into the lift station, and a force main
from the Three Sisters Lift Station to the sewage treatment plant.
Also discussed was the cost of providing a master lift station in
the Jack's Lake area and a force main to the new plant to provide
service for that area.
At 7:20 p.m. the Council took a break and at 7:30 p.m. the meeting
reconvened. Representatives of the Stunmit arrived at this time and
Mayor Pool gave a brief overview of the purpose of the meeting,
which was to discuss the sewage treatment plant issue. The
legality of impact fees and connection fees was discussed at
length.
Mr. Saunders indicated to Council that this was already being done
in other areas, but the City could confer with its impact fee
consultant, as well as with other cities that may be using this
method. Jesse Graham indicated that he thought that this could be
an alternative and that the additional connection fee to reimburse
the project for the added carrying costs could be an acceptable
alternative, but that he was not in the position to make that
agreement and would have to get back with his principals and
present the proposal to them for consideration.

After considerable discussion, it was the consensus of Council that
there would not be sufficient time to resolve the issue by the
April 24, 1990 Public Hearing, and Mr. Graham suggested that the
final hearing and vote be tabled until a date certain, which would
be the May 8, 1990 Council Meeting.
There being no further discussion, the meeting adjourned at 9:00
p.m.
