Dear council members,

My name is Tony Palermo and I reside at 3277 Baseline Road. Please register me as a delegate participating in the meeting. I do not plan to speak unless you want me to but will be on listening.

Consider this as a submission to the August 24, 2020 council meeting at 11:00am concerning the revised LUP for sanitary Sewer and private drain connections on Baseline Road.

Submission recommendations to add to the revised LUP:

  1. Prior to November 2019, the city charged $700.00 to do a private connection to the resident’s property line. Then an increase of well over 300% to $3000 before preparing this LUP. I think this amount of an increase is exorbitant and beyond any reasonable increase and justification in any business in this country especially in these times of uncertainty

    1. I am putting a request in for an amendment to reduce the fee back to $700.00 given the close proximity of the increase to the LUP recommendations.

  3. I would also like to see a motion passed on allowing residents to convert septic systems to groundwater management systems

  4. I would also like to see a motion passed for the option of a second water meter to be installed that can be used and not charged in our sewer fees. This primarily would be for grass watering, gardens, pools, etc which
