Septic-to-sewer expansion for Zone J & K
Summary
Residents are pressing the council to rescind a prior vote making 88 J&K neighborhood homeowners liable for 100% of septic-to-sewer cost overruns. Staff says a later ordinance defers any assessment decision until budgets and grants are known, and roughly $3 million in funding may mean homeowners pay nothing — but no formal action was taken.
