Roseville Public Works, Environment and Transportation Commission Agenda Item Date: August 25, 2020 Item Description: Chapter 800 Proposed Ordinance Amendments Item No: 5 Chapter 800 of the Roseville City Code deals with Public Works ordinances and regulations. The code is broken into three sections. Chapter 801 deals with the Municipal Water System, Chapter 802 deals with the Sanitary Sewer System and Chapter 803 deals with Storm Water Drainage. Over the years, the code has been added or modified to address changing practices. Over the last year, staff has looked at the code to identify areas that are out of date or need better detail or clarification. Below is a quick summary of the changes. Staff will go into more detail in a presentation at the commission meeting. • 801 Water o Construction practices. We propose to remove many of these from the code as many of these standards do not apply and are included in City standards and specifications. It allows new standards to be changed as new practices and materials become industry standard. Water Connection and Charges • Update to the ordinance to when utility fees get charged after permits are pulled. • Update to who is required to be on the utility bill. • 802 Sewer o Construction practices. We propose to remove many of these from the code as many of these standards do not apply and are included in City standards and specifications. It allows new standards to be changed as new practices and materials become industry standard. o Clarification of some definitions. o Clarification of maintenance definitions. o Defective Drain and Obstruction — proposed language to better address some nuisance issues that can affect the sewer system. 803 Drainage o Updated some definitions to better meet industry standards. Attachment A is the current code. Attachment B is the proposed code, if the revisions are made. Some formatting still needs to take place and would be done so before this was brought to council. Since the marked -up version showing the tracked changes is very marked up, we included the two versions separately. Both versions are highlighted, showing the areas in the code that were added (green), removed (red) or modified (yellow). Recommended Action: Receive presentation and forward a recommendation to the City Council on the proposed ordinance amendments.
