Dear Mr. Melena:
EmAiC,on ental e
It has come to our attention that since federal buildin are not le re to obtain
local buildin permits, a few communities within the Metropolitan Area have not been
reviewin these plans for the purpose of assi SAC units to the buildin Thus, in
some cases no SAC fees are bein collected.
Minnesota Statues re communities to pa reserve capacit char in the form of
SAC to the Metropolitan Council. SAC is re on all new buildin that use the
metropolitan disposal s SAC is collected at the time when either buildin permits
are issued for buildin that will be connected to the Metropolitan Disposal S within
one y ear of their completion or when a connection permit is issued for the buildin
Althou communities ma not le issue buildin permits for federal buildin federal
buildin are re to obtain connection permits and pa an applicable fees. Thus, the
communit is obli to collect the SAC at the time the connection permit for the
buildin is issued. If the connection permit is issued b someone other then the buildin
inspector, that is familiar with the application of SAC criteria, please make sure that the
appropriate SAC assi has been made.
If y ou have an q uestions or would like staff from the MCES to aid y ou in makin the
SAC determination for federal buildin or help explain the SAC fees to the owner, please
contact Ro Danzi at 651602 1119.
