MOTION CARRIED (BILL NO. 41 - AMEND CODE REGARDING PERMIT AND INSPECTION REQUIRED FOR SEWER CONNECTION) At the request of the Mayor, the City Engineer explained that presently, the City has no way of knowing when someone is hooking up to the sewer. Normally, they come in a sign up with the City, but it is possible and has happened where connections have been made without the City's knowledge. This was the first reason for asking that a permit be required to hook up to the sewer so that the billing procedure can proceed. Mr. Cory further informed Council that secondly, they would like to be able to inspect connections to be sure that they are done properly and also, that the public right -of -way is restored in an apropriate manner. This was an attempt to take care of both problems. There was some questions presented to the City Engineer and discussion among Council Members as to whether the Bill will control the activity of hooking up to the sewer and allowing the inspections. Mayor Dakan then read Bill No. 41 by title only as follows: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CALDWELL, IDAHO, REPEALING CHAPTER 3B OF TITLE III, SECTION 7, AND ENACTING A NEW CHAPTER 3B OF TITLE III, SECTION 7 CONTAINING SUBSECTIONS (A) THROUGH (G) WHEREIN IT IS DECLARED UNLAWFUL FOR ANY PERSON, FIRM, JOINT VENTURE, TRUST, PARTNERSHIP, ASSOCIATION OR CORPORATION OR ANY ONE ACTING AS AN AGENT THEREOF TO UNCOVER, CONNECT WITH, OPEN INTO, USE, ALTER OR DISTURB ANY CITY SEWER OR APPURTENANCE THEREOF WITHOUT A PERMIT FROM THE CITY ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT; PROVIDING FOR THE FURNISHING OF INFORMATION IN THE APPLICATION FOR PERMIT; AND PROVIDING FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT AND PAYMENT OF A FEE FOR THE PROCESSING OF THE PERMIT AND THE INSPECTION OF THE WORKS TO BE APPROVED BY THE COUNCIL BY RESOLUTION; PROVIDING FOR THE PERMITTEE TO NOTIFY THE CITY ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT OF THE TIME TO INSPECT; PROVIDING THAT THE INSPECTION SHALL BE DONE TO INSURE THE INTEGRITY OF THE SEWER AND ITS APPURTENANCES; PROVIDING FOR A TIME OF NOTIFICATION FOR INSPECTION AND PROVIDING FOR A FEE FOR RE- INSPECTION; DECLARING A VIOLATION OF THIS ORDINANCE TO BE A MISDEMEANOR AND PROSCRIBING A PUNISHMENT; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

Page 219 The City Engineer further stated that Mr. Jewett went directly to the Mayor. At that time, the Mayor explained that the work could not be done since it was a private road. However, he would present the matter to the City Council for their direction. Mr. Jewett was told that there are too many private lanes throughout the City. If it was determined to maintain one, all the rest would most certainly request equal treatment. Mr. Jewett considers this request to be of a unique nature in that he removes snow in the public right of way with his own equipment although he has not been requested to do so. Councilman Raymond stated that he agreed with the policy and did not want the City to get involved in grading private lanes. He felt it was appropriate for the City Council to reaffirm the action taken by the Engineering Staff and the Mayor. MOVED by Raymond, SECONDED by Carpenter that the City Council endorse the Engineering Department's decision and the Mayor's decision that the City not be engaged in grading private lanes.
