Mr. Aguilera stated Staff feels that if the City is contemplating the creation of 2 6 new sewer lines, the people who will benefit from the new lines should be required to connect to these lines, and this type of a requirement would possibly strengthen the City's position with HUD. Mr. Aguilera said Staff is recommending the Council indicate an intent to create an ordinance that would include this requirement and if and when the City is awarded the Community Development Block Grant funds, the City could use part of these funds to lend to those people that cannot afford to hook up to the system. Mr. Aguilera stated it should be made clear that Staff is suggesting only that the Council indi- cate its intention to create an ordinance requiring that those benefited by the new sewer lines connect to the lines within a specified period of time. The statement of intent would leave the Council the option of deciding at a later date the mechanics of the program such as time limitations, fee waivers, low interest loans, etc. Mr. Aguilera concluded if the City Council concurs with Staff's recommendation, a motion to approve said recommendation, instructing Staff to forward this action to HUD, would be in order. Council Members again questioned the amount of funds the City might be receiving from HUD for the sewer improvements, and the possibility that many residents may not be able to pay the sewer connection fees. Mr. Aguilera said that as he had mentioned previously, the City Council would have several options available to them - such as using the Community Development Block Grant funds towards payment of these fees, waiving the sewer connection fees, es- tablishing low interest loans towards payment of the fees, etc. After additional discussion, moved by Councilman Rehrer, seconded by Councilman Rios, approving Staff's recommendation regarding Sewer Connection Concept as outlined. Unanimous vote.

Closed Session City Manager Elliott requested a Closed Session with the City Council to discuss Personnel Matters. Mayor Pro Tem Cisneros stated the Closed Session would be held at the end of the Meeting. CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Assessment Districts Res. No. 4256 City Attorney Edwards reported that the City is requested to provide information re- garding assessment districts, the requests being for the current sum needed to pay off a bond, and such persons making these requests are not charged anything for the service they receive. Mr. Edwards said it is proposed the City fix a fee of $15.00 per request, starting the first of next year, as suggested by the City Treasurer and as outlined in Reso- lution No. 4256. Mr. Edwards concluded if the City Council concurs with this procedure, adoption of Resolution No. 4256 would be in order. Moved by Councilman Rios, seconded by Councilwoman Garcia, to approve Resolution No. 4256. Unanimous vote.
