See Clerk' s File 1990-2. Community Development Director ?J�an Johnson recommended that Council consider rescinding Resolution 1989-115, adopted on December 5, 1989, which approved a refund program of Service Availability Charge (S .A.C. ) fees collected by the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission from 1973 to 19$7. Johnson advised there was a misunderstanding of the optians available to the city through the Metropolitan Waste Control Cammissian' s refund policy. Johnson learned the citj� does not have to refund anq of the S.A.C. fees, and the current owner of proper�y where S.A.C. have been paid would receive a fu11 credit when that property is hooked up ta the city' s san3tary sewer system. Council expressed concerns that property owners would noz have the aption to choose whether they would wRnt a refund nvw ar a full credit when they hooked up to the system. A£ter further discussion� it was the general consensus of the council that not refunding the S. A.C. fees w�uld be the maximum benef.it to the a£fect�ed property owners sinee the possibility existed for future municipal service to certain areas, and the value of the S .A.C, fee credit would inflate over the years.
