that preference be given to people who have been waiting over those
not annexed.
Kenneth Snyker stated that the people who had received their sewer
capacity commitment letters and wastewater discharge permits should
not have to pay higher than current fees.

Duane Knutson opposed the cost of expansion being borne by the fees of
people connecting to the system, but he said new annexations should
pay higher connection fees.

spread expansion costs.

annexed and suggested additional money may not be needed. Also that
annexations be based on a per unit, not per acre, basis.

should not bear the brunt of expansion.

applications in the pipeline should not have to pay increased fees.
