City of Littleton Page 2 Printed on 6/22/2015 Littleton Center City of Littleton 2255 West Berry Avenue Littleton, CO 80120 Staff Communication File #: ID# 15-177, Version: 1 Agenda Date: 06/23/2015 Subject: Motion to extend waiver of city manager’s residency requirement Presented By: Phil Cernanec, Mayor POLICY QUESTION: Does city council support extending the waiver of the city manager’s residency requirement to July 15, 2015? BACKGROUND: City council entered into an employment agreement with Michael Penny on March 7, 2012. Section 11 of that agreement requires the city manager to establish permanent residency and domicile within the corporate limits of the City of Littleton. On June 24, 2014, city council granted a one year waiver of this requirement, due to personal circumstances. The city manager is scheduled to close on the purchase of a home within the city limits on July 9, 2015. This request is to extend the waiver until July 15, 2015 (to ensure there is additional time in case the closing is delayed for any reason). PROPOSED MOTION: I move to approve an extension of the waiver of the city manager’s residency requirement to July 15, 2015.

BACKGROUND: This issue involves a property owner requesting sewer service and three separate water and sanitation districts: Plate Canyon Water and Sanitation District (PCWSD), Southwest Metropolitan Water and Sanitation District (SMWSD) and Columbine Water and Sanitation District (CWSD). The owner of a 3.65-acre tract of land located at 5090 West Christensen lane has proposed construction of a single-family residence on the property and has requested water and sewer service from PCWSD. While this property is within the PCWSD, there are no district sewer lines within a reasonable distance. However, there are CWSD sewer lines adjacent to the property and this district has agreed to serve the property. A 1973 agreement between SMWSD and CWSD does require an amendment between the parties when there are changes for service within their boundaries. Since CWSD has agreed to this change in service, an amendment to the 1973 agreement is required. Section XIII of the agreement requires the City of Littleton’s approval for those changes; therefore, a resolution is before city council. STAFF ANALYSIS: The staff reviewed two issues relative to this project; 1) whether or not this has any significant impact on the capacity of sewer mains, or interceptors owned by the city, and 2) whether or not a sewer tap fee is collected by the city. On this issue of impact to the sewer system, since the property is being developed as a single-family home, it does not present a capacity issue for the city. For this property, the PCWSD would have collected the sewer and discharged into the interceptor owned by the city and the city would have collected a tap fee of $5,656. Typically, the CWSD sewer mains discharge to the city of Englewood and the City of Littleton would not have collected a tap fee. However, this is an area for which the CWSD does discharge into a PCWSD main and into a city interceptor; therefore, the city will collect City of Littleton Page 1 of 2 Printed on 6/21/2015 powered by Legistar™ File #: Resolution 42-2015, Version: 1 the tap fee for a single family home regardless of which district provides the service. FISCAL IMPACTS: The city does collect a single-family tap fee regardless which district provides the service. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the resolution allowing the transfer of sewer service between PCWSD and CWSD. PROPOSED MOTION: I move to approve the resolution approving the Sewer Service Agreement and Amendment to 1973 Agreement between Columbine Water and Sanitation District, Platte Canyon Water and Sanitation District and Southwest Metropolitan Sanitation District.
