A quorum of three (3) or more members being present the
following business was conducted:
First item of business; Rod Nealy met with the committee
in -reference to a $60.00 bill he received for replacement of
a frozen meter. Mr. Nealy moved a mobile home into Village
Subdivision and installed a meter that he had "found" in the
immediate area. On 4/19/94 John Minch attached a remote. Both
the remote and meter were set on Zero. On 5/19/94 a new meter
was installed because the old one had frozen. Mr. Nealy's
contention was that it was the city's responsibility to ensure
the first meter was operable. Much discussion followed as to
what previous city practices had been. Motion made by Bob
Graham, seconded by Albert Ehrlick, to charge Mr. Nealy for
repairs to the meter if it could be repaired, or the full amount
in the event that it couldn't be repaired. Motion defeated
on a vote of 3--4. More discussion followed. Motion made by
Bob Graham, seconded by L. D. Collins, to charge Mr. Nealy $60.00
for the replacement of the meter. Motion carried.
Second item of business; Richard Barnhardt appeared before
the committee asking if the city would call water users on the
delinquent list on the 16th of the month telling them that they
would have their water shut off on that day. Ron Marshall
explained to Mr. Barnhardt that we are not a "babysitting"
service and that prior and proper notice had been given. The
city had provided the water and service and no further notice
is necessary. The committee concurred.
Third item of business; Sharon Herman spoke to the
committee about proposed change& that the office would like
to see made. Attached to these minutes are changes the committee
wanted.
Meeting adjourned at 6:05 P.M.
Re ully submitted,
Ron M rshall,
