Vesting Application - Tract 9894 - M. M. Garlington
Tract 9894's vesting application was continued from the November 1988 Council
meeting at the applicant's request. Community Development Director Shaw explained
that expenditures documented by the applicant were incurred prior to the final
discretional approval and therefore did not technically qualify under vesting criteria
in accordance with Measure N. However, since the applicant has expended
considerable money and installed sewer improvements for the entire tract (19 units),
staff recommended that Tract 9894 be recognized as having second priority for
i building permits after vested projects. Mayor Beswick declared the meeting open as a
U"
public hearing for any questions or comments concerning this matter. The
applicant, Mr. Garlington, asked for further explanation as to what this
recommendation would mean for this project. There being no further comments, the
public hearing was declared closed. Councilmember DeMirjyn moved to approve this
recommendation; motion seconded by Councilmember Larson and carried by AYE votes

of all present.

Large Meter Associate Engineer Jeff Endicott reminded Councilmembers they awarded the �h
€h Changeout construction contract for the Large Meter Changeout in May 1988. Construction :
4� Program began last June 1988 and continued through November of 1988. Contract provisions l M'�
required that all meters installed on this project be tested when installed and again ' �?
approximately one year later. The one-year retest of meters is now complete. The
objective of the Large Meter Changeout was to allow for more accurate measurement of
customer water use which is an essential element of an equitable water billing system
and water conservation program. Mr. Endicott presented a spread sheet comparing,'}'
{j average water meter readings of each account before and after the meter Changeout.
With approximately one year's water use as the basis of comparison, there was an
increase of over 2,000,000 cubic feet in the bi-monthly average water billings in those
accounts. This generated nearly $55,000 in additional revenue over the last year.
The Municipal Utilities Department has found that replacement of old and worn out
water ureters is cost effective on large accounts and has resulted in benefit to cost
ratios of nearly 2:1.
