Subsequent to this, Mr. Hogan requested that he be considered for water and sewer
connection. Administrator Larson stated that City Code requires that if sewer services
are available connection must occur within a one year timeframe; however, that did not
happen in many parts of the community with Mr. Hogan’s property being one of those.
Administrator Larson reported that connection of both utilities and this time would make
financial sense for the property owner and associated assessments would secure the
City’s upfront expenditure along with a small amount of interest. Mr. Hogan provided
the City with bids for the sanitary sewer connection. Administrator Larson provided
Council with proposals that Mr. Hogan submitted in a spreadsheet format for ease of
reviewing. Lengthy discussion ensued regarding tax delinquency, potential for future
delinquencies, sale of the property and first secured party, interest rate and length of
assessment, Mr. Hogan’s preferred contractor, need for a contract with the contractor of
choice and signed agreement with Mr. Hogan. Council Member King requested that
language be placed in the agreement allowing for pre-payment. Consensus was to table
the item until the August meeting.

very good candidates, however, previous experience serving the City was beneficial and
