SANITARY SEWER SITUATION AT DEVICH PROPERTY
Public Works Director Junker reported on a reviewal of the
sanitary sewer system that provides sewer service to the
Devich property (912 West Laurel Street). Ray Davis and
Connie Devich would like to hook up to sewer from Laurel
Street rather than from the rear of their property. They are

Lake Road) during the McKusick Lake Road reconstruction. He

the road reconstruction, and charge residents for hook up to
the new sewer to recover the costs.
Motion by Councilmember Kimble, seconded by Councilmember Funke
