Background Summary The City utility codes are being revised as a group to update language to match current practices, to clarify intent, to promote consistency between chapters of code and to transfer requirements from City Code to the City's design manual. Chapters 13.28 "Utility Bill Collection," and 15.72 "Drainage Plans," are being deleted since they are no longer utilized by the City. Chapter 12.66 "Right -of -Way Construction Requirements" is a new section, created to consolidate requirements that were previously covered in the water, sanitary sewer and storm drainage codes, and that were needed to regulate other right-of-way construction activities. This agenda bill covers all of the various ordinances involved in the revisions, which have been reviewed by the Public Works Committee. Comments made by the committee at their June 14, 2004 meeting have been incorporated in the attached documents. These revisions were developed as a "package" because it is appropriate that the ultimate ordinances not only reflect current practices, but also do so consistently. In order to ensure compatibility, if it is not the Council's intent to adopt all of the ordinances along the lines they were drafted, then it would be appropriate to redirect all of the ordinances back to staff for revision and for verification of compatibility and regulatory coverage.
