RESOLUTION NO. $5 02 0 t/
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDDING
ESTABLISHING SEWER CONNECTION CHARGES.
WHEREAS, Section 14. 16. 030 of the Redding Municipal Code
provides that sewer connection charges may be fixed, altered,
changed, amended or revised by the City Council by resolution;
and
WHEREAS, a new schedule of sewer connection charges has now
been recommended, which is attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and
incorporated herein by reference; and
WHEREAS, staff has reviewed the requirements of CEQA under
Section 15273 as it relates to sewer connection charges and is of
the opinion that the proposed increase in charges is not subject
to CEQA, with said findings being based on the following: the
charges may be used to meet operating expenses, wages, employee
benefits, to allow repair and replacement of the existing system,
to increase capacity within existing service areas as a product
of continuing growth and more efficient use of land, to provide
for reconstruction and replacement of substandard portions of the
system, to make emergency repairs as the need arises, to pump,
transmit and treat sewage originating from existing service
areas, to obtain service and supplies, to plan and manage the
system and to process payments; and
WHEREAS, the City Council deems it to be in the best inter-
ests of the City and its citizens that said new schedule of sewer
connection charges be established as recommended;
