Motion by Council Member Love, seconded by Council Member Paar, to assess the amount previously given to residents as estimates for on-project water connections/assessments. Discussion ensued regarding needed clarification of the $400 value placed on permit/inspection fees and potential for reduction to $55 for inspection purposes.
