Regular City Council Meeting Monday,May 22, 2017 Page 11 Based on staff comments, Councilmember Etten spoke in support of the motion. Given the assurance from staff that this preliminary fee at $15/cubic foot had not been quoted to any other party, Councilmember Laliberte spoke in support of the motion. Mayor Roe spoke in support of the motion, but for future situations, clarified that this is a one-time exception for this one specific project. Mayor Roe reviewed past City Council discussions and firm clarity that it had been determined when implementing the policy that the initially proposed $15 fee was too low. Mayor Roe recognized that this property owner had been caught in the middle of the pro- cess; but reiterated that any other projects coming forward would be at the $22.50 per cubic foot fee to ensure that the city's stormwater system could be maintained going forward. Roll Call Ayes: Laliberte, McGehee, Willmus, Etten and Roe. Nays: None.
