REPORTS OF THE CITY MANAGER
ACREAGE City Manager Glaves reported to the Council that two
FEES apartment developers had questioned if the new master
storm drainage acreage fee established by the City
Council on April 5, 1972, would affect their developments.
Mr. Glaves said the two developers, Mr. Daryl Geweke
and Mr. Don Morita, were actively planning their develop-
ments prior to the effective date of March 15, 1972, and
in both cases plans had been in the Public Works Depart-
ment for review previous to the cutoff date for the old
acreage fee.
The Council discussed the matter and indicated it was
their intent to exempt from the new fee those develop-
ments actively being pursued on March 15, 1972. The
Council felt the fact that plans had been submitted for
review by City personnel would establish the fact of
active planning if other evidence supported this con-
clusion. On motion of Councilman Katnich, Schaffer
second, the Council established that the old acreage
fee would only apply to those developers actively plan-
ning a development on March 15, 1972, and who may
subsequently apply for and receive a building permit
on or before September 15, 1972; however, if a developer
cannot substantiate evidence of active planning on his
project, then the staff may reject his claim for exclusion
from the new rate and he may then bring his case before
the City Council for a determination.
PAVING- The City Council, on motion of Councilman Schaffer,
MSC Katnich second, approved including $14, 000 in the
1972-73 Capital Improvement Budget for paving at the
Municipal Service Center with Councilman Pinkerton
voting no.
IBEW lair. Glaves reported to the Council that the City had
reached agreement with the International Brotherhood
of Electrical Workers in labor negotiations.
