(1) an amendment to 681-11 C. (Sewer connections) is required to allow the City to collect a fee and require the installation of a new sewer connection for all buildings on a lot where a change with respect to the lot causes the existing sewer connection to fail to meet current City standards, including those where a new or reconstructed building is being constructed. Previously the section only dealt with resubdivisions or the change of location of buildings on a lot; and

(2) a new subsection 681-11. H. (3) (Sewer connections on public or private property) be added so that inspection fees can be recovered in cases where an owner of a property has been permitted to install the sewer connection on public property between the sewer main and private property.
