3. REIMBURSEMENT FOR WATER AND SEWER MAIN EXTENSIONS.
John Bock reviewed the existing policy of water and sewer
main extension, where the City incurs the initial expense of
extending the main subject to recovery from the requesting
party. Utilities staff has proposed that recovery shall be
upon completion of said extension and shall involved the
entire cost of the main extension.
The Municipal Code shall read: "Recovery shall be from the
requesting party or parties and shall be upon completion of
said extension. Recovery shall be defined as the entire
cost of the main extension. The requesting parties shall
demonstrate the ability to reimburse the City for
construction costs prior to construction."
Ms. Bradshaw questioned what percentage of prior main
extensions has been recovered. A memo from John Bock dated
February 2, 1998 is attached answering Ms. Bradshaw's
question .

John Bock reviewed events leading to the Summons served by
Lera Gesin, owner of 3605 S. Bannock St. The Gisens are
petitioning to encroach into the City of Englewood's City
Ditch right-of-way on the south boundary of their property.
The attorneys are preparing discovery for the trial. John
will apprise the Board of new developments.
5. POST OFFICE DELILVERY AND LATE FEES.
John Bock noted that the Utilities Department has received
numerous complaints from customers that the Post Off ice
delivered water bills late. The Board recommended that if a
bill is delivered late, the Utilities Department could waive
the late charge one time if the customer produces the
envelope with the postage mark. Late charges could be
waived, at the Director's di~cretion, if the records show a
good payment history. A notice will be posted on future
bills.
6. GREASE INTERCEPTOR ORDINANCE.
The Board received the existing Oil and Grease Interceptor
Ordinance (Municipal Code #12-2-4F) . Stu discussed allowing
variances to be granted administratively and eliminating

existing code. The Board will discuss the variance at the
next meeting .

8. GROUNDBREAKING FOR THE ' ALLEN PLANT IMPROVEMENT PROJECT.
There will be a groundbreaking ceremony for the Allen Filter
Plant Improvement Project on Wednesday, January 28, 1998 at
9:00 a.m. at the Allen Filter Plant. All Board members are
encouraged to attend.
9. VALLEY SANITATION DISTRICT.
Stu will be meeting with representatives of the Valley
Sanitation District to discuss a proposal to dissolve the
Valley Water District. The Board noted that they were not
receptive to incorporating the sanitary sewer portion of
Valley Sanitation District. The Board discussed the
proposal and informally adapted the following positions: 1)
there should be no limits on differential fees, 2) future
taps would only be available under current land use and
zoning, 3) the existing Board of Directors must guarantee
that all facilities are in public rights-of-way, 4) The
Board of Directors would remain liable for any decisions
made prior to the dissolution and 5) the contract would be
patterned after and essentially the same as the current
contract with Cherry Hills Village.
The Board adjourned at 6:10 p.m.
The next Water and Sewer Board meeting will be February 10,
1998 at 5:00 p.m. in Conference Room A.
Respectfully submitted,
Cathy Burrage
Recording Secretary
