EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR DISCUSSION
CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
DATE: July 14, 1999
AGENDA ITEM: Individual Sewage Treatment Systems AGENDA NO.
� • �•
PREPARED BY: Dan Rogness, Community Development Director
ATTACHMENTS: ISTS Chapter 6; Summary Information
In 1996 the city adopted Chapter 6 regarding On-Site Individual Sewage Treatment Systems (ISTS). All rural
residential properties with systems were required to initiate and complete a maintenance program resulting in a
"Maintenance Permit"for a two-year period.
As shown in the attached information,ten property owners have not responded at all,three owners have
responded but not complied, and two owners have been transferred with no compliance. The Community
Development Department has issued two letters since first notifying residents of the ISTS maintenance program:
(1) an"Expired Permit" letter in late February, and(2) a"Violation Notice" in late Mazch of 1999. Even though
all letters asked for compliance within 30 days,no additional information has been received to-date regarding
these fifteen properties.
Chapter 6 (Section 9-6-14) indicates that any violation of this requirement is a misdemeanor. Staff is asking the
City Council for direction, including the following:
1. Should any additional follow-up be done with each non-complying property owner, or should legal
action be initiated(as a misdemeanor)?
2. If additional follow-up is done by staff,what should be the new deadline for compliance, and what
should staff be telling them in terms of action at that deadline?
3. What should be staff's normal operating procedure for future renewals of ISTS Maintenance Permits for
non-complying properties? (i.e., City Council will proceed to authorize legal action no later than 45
days past a Violation Notice).
RECOMMENDED ACTION: For Discussion Only.
