RESOLUTION PROTESTING THE STATE -MANDATED WATER
SERVICE CONNECTION FEE ON ST. LOUIS PARK
WHEREAS, the 1992 State Legislature imposed a mandatory water service
connection fee on public water suppliers owned or operated by a city, town or
water user district (Laws of Minnesota 1992, Chaper 513, Article 6, Section
2), and
WHEREAS, the St. Louis Park City Council finds this fee discriminatory and
unfair to larger volume water suppliers because testing costs are not
proportionate to the number of water customers; therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of St. Louis Park that City payments of
the State -mandated water service connection fee will be paid under protest
and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City of St. Louis Park requests reimbursement
of its payments if the State rescinds its water testing requirement or changes
its fee collection schedule based on service connections.
