Ordinance No. 934 (2024)
ORDINANCE TO REPEAL AND RECREATE CHAPTER 12 - SANITARY
ORDINANCE - OF THE ST. CROIX COUNTY CODE OF ORDINANCES
COVER MEMO
TO: County Board of Supervisors
FROM: Ken Witt, County Administrator
Jason Kjeseth, Director
DATE: June 4, 2024
AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance to Repeal and Recreate Chapter 12 - Sanitary Ordinance - of
the St. Croix County Code of Ordinances
______________________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The proposed amended ordinance modifies all the incorrect administrative code citations to the
Department of Commerce, provides some clarity for staff administering the program, and only
has one significant policy change. The policy change would allow a holding tank to serve an
accessory building, grey water only system, or a situation with high strength waste. This policy
change was reviewed with the towns at the last Town's Association meeting with no negative
feedback. This draft has been reviewed by Corporation Counsel and a proper Class 2 notice was
filed before the public hearing.
