beautiful and pleasant city, the Council hereby determines that the following
shall be the policy regarding the installation, use and maintenance of water
supply systems on city owned boulevard islands, cul-de-sacs, and greenbelts
along or in the public right-of-way; further, in establishing this policy,
the Council recognizes that the care and beautification of certain islands,
cul-de-sacs and greenbelts is properly the sole responsibility of the city
in that the benefits derived therefrom are enjoyed by the city as a whole,
and that in other cases the benefits accrue more particularly to a relatively
small group of citizens and therefore it is proper that the responsibility
and costs be borne by them.
Section I. The City shall provide and maintain, from the general fund, water
supply systems where it deems them necessary, on all centerline boulevard
islands, on mile roads, and/or those roads designated on the Master Plan as
half (1/2) mile roads. This section is not to be construed as including, and
in fact specifically excludes, those islands that divide a mile road or half
mile road from "service drives." In those cases, Section II applies. No
reimbursement of costs will be made for watering systems installed prior to
the establishment of this policy.
Section II. The following shall apply to all boulevard islands, cul-de-sacs,
and greenbelts other than those covered in Section I:
A. Upon written request by a recognized Civic Association or by a
resident property owner or group of resident property owners, the City
may, upon determining that there is acceptance of responsibility as
required below, install a water tap or taps for the purpose of
watering the island, cul-de-sacs, or greenbelt.
B. A fee of $150 per tap shall be charged by the City and shall be preuid
by the Civic Association, owner, or owners of interest prior to actual
installation. In addition, water meters will be required on all
island water taps. The meter installation cost shall be borne by
the Water and Sewer Division.
C. The Civic Association, owner or owners of interest shall agree to pay
for the water consumed in accordance with the currently established
commercial water rates. Those islands which are already tapped shall
pay for water in accordance with the following schedule until meters
have been installed:
Area of Island No. of Sprinkler Heads Cost per Quarter
Up to 200 S.F. 1 Head $ 6.00
200 S.F. to 500 S.F. 2 Heads $ 12.00
Over 500 S.F. 3 Heads or more $ 18.00
12297
D. The service connection costs shall include all materials including
vacuum breakers where required. Where sprinkler systems are installea
vacuum breakers shall be required per Water Department specifications.
E. The Civic Association, owner, or owners shall be required to agree
to and designate a responsible person or persons for the assignment
of a turn-on turn-off key and/or the receipt of water bills.
F. It shall be the responsibility of the Civic Association, owner, or
owners to notify the Water Department whenever the responsible
person required in (E) above is changed or that service is to be
discontinued.
G. The Civic Association, owner, or owners shall agree to assume full
responsibility for the care, repair, and maintenance of the tap and
the costs that may accrue thereto. All appurtenances attached to the
water tap shall be the responsibility of the Civic Association, owner,
or owners.
Section III. Water taps to be installed and billed under this policy shall
be approved by the Water and Sewer Commission and all revenues derived from
the service shall be deposited to the appropriate account(s) of the Water
Department. Interpretation of this policy shall be delegated to the Water
and Sewer Commission. Aggrieved parties shall have the right to appeal
decisions of the Commission to the Council for final determination.
Section IV. Resolution No. 787-69 and all other resolutions that may be in
conflict withthis resolution are hereby rescinded in order to give this
policy full force and effect.
A roll call vote was taken on the foregoing resolution with the following result:
AYES: McCann, Bennett, Brown, Ventura, Raymond and Nash.
NAYS: Milligan.

July 12 and July 19, 1971 which sets forth a list of priorities proposed by
