MATTERS FROM STAFF ".
DISCUSSION OF A SEWER -STUDY FOR CREST ROAD WEST BETWEEN JOHNS
CANYON ROAD AND PORTUGUESE BEND ROAD.
Councilmember Heinsheimer recused himself from consideration of this item due to the proximity of his
property to the location of the sewer system being discussed and took a seat in the audience.
City Manager Dahlerbruch reviewed the results of the sewer flow and capacity study that was financed.
by the residents along Johns Canyon Road as discussed previously in February. He provided an update
on Staff's efforts with relation to this project as directed by the City Council with regard to the creation
of an assessment district and stated that it was suggested that if the project were to proceed further, it
would be more feasible if the assessment district were to encompass more homes that just those on
Johns Canyon. He stated that included with the staff report for the City Council's consideration is a
proposal for a feasibility study to include the properties along Crest Road West to Portuguese Bend
Road. He commented that based on the fact that there is not agreement amongst the property owners
along John's Canyon regarding the financing of the project, it may make more sense for the City
Council to increase the scope of the project to include more properties thus making it more economically
feasible for those participating. Discussion ensued regarding sending a letter to the residents along Crest
Road West to asses their interest.
James Ichle, 14 Crest Road West addressed the City Council stating that he would not be interested in
participating in a sewer system because their property is below the main line and they would not be able
to get the sewage up to the mainline.
Discussion ensued concerning the process of creating an assessment district and the critical mass that
would be required to make doing so feasible. Further discussion ensued concerning the feasibility of
installing a low-pressure system versus a gravity fed system and the usefulness of moving forward with
the proposed sewer feasibility study for the properties along Crest Road West.
Following discussion, staff was directed to send a letter to the residents along Crest Road West to assess
and engage their interest in a potential sewer mainline. Following the letter, if there is a positive
response, staff was directed to hold a workshop to further discuss the issue. Councilmember
Heinsheimer retumed to his seat at the dais.
MATTERS FROM TAE CITY ATTORNEY
No closed session was held.
