RECOMMENDATION Approval of Resolution BACKGROUND New development along the boundaries of the existing Pueblo city limits is driving the extension of the sanitary sewer collection system, as well as upsizing needs within the existing sanitary sewer system. An updated master plan is needed to assure orderly and efficient development of the sanitary sewer system. The City's existing sanitary sewer master plan was prepared in 1973 and has not been significantly updated since that time. The master plan project will review the existing sanitary sewer system, identify hydraulic bottlenecks, review land use and demographic data to project growth areas, and develop a computer flow model to aid in future collection system planning. Although the project will take the Pueblo Springs Ranch development into account, it will not include a detailed plan for sanitary sewer service to that development. The sewer service plan for the Pueblo Springs Ranch development will be developed as part of the annexation process and incorporated into the annexation agreement. Because sewer system extension and upsizing are driven by growth, it seems appropriate to fund the project from the Sanitary Sewer Collection System Improvements Fund ( "Fund "). Monies in the Fund are collected from sanitary sewer connection fees, and are intended to be used for growth- related capital projects approved by City Council. The Pueblo Planning and Zoning Commission made the recommendation that the master plan project is an appropriate expenditure for the Fund. Documentation of that recommendation is attached. It does, however, remain the province solely of Council to approve projects using monies from the Fund, in accordance with § 16 -11 -4 of the Pueblo Municipal Code. A copy of the agreement with Black & Veatch is also attached.
