MINUTFS <br />City Council <br />February 3~ ~982 <br />Glanzer conunented that the sewer budget picks up a lot of costs of <br />other things in the'City because it generates revenue, <br />Mayor Hanson stated that because something is thrown against the sewer <br />budget does not mean it is spent against sewer. It is charged here <br />because the sewer budget is a revenue producing fund. <br />The City Clerk stated that sewer is the only money-maker the City has, <br />Rnger Glanzer pointed out that mobilehomes a-a~ uka~,rged <br />75~ of the sewer rate that a single family }~ome is charped. <br />Apartments are charged £or sewer according to their water usage. <br />Mayor Hanson asked if this app:Lied to condominiums that are converted. <br />G1an2er repl.ied that it did. <br />Mr. Forsberg and Mrs. Nardini cosnmented that the ordinsnce should be <br />changed so that mobilehdmes are charged the same as a single family <br />home. <br />Glanzer cormnented that the additional revenue generated by increasing <br />the sewer rate for mobilehomes to 100% of the rate will not generate <br />enough to make the di£ference. Glanzer informed the Council that <br />he is suggesting a sewer increase of $4 per quarter from $15 per quarter <br />to $19. However, the City co~il.d 'xeep the service charge the same i£ <br />the City charged everyone in the City for the maintenance of the water <br />system. If not, Glanzer recommended that the service charge be increased <br />from $6 to $9 per quarter for a water customer. <br />Mayor Iianson commented that the City~s costs are ~~ising and cited <br />the example of just the electricity needed to operate a li~t station. <br />Glanzer also recommended that the sewer and water departments be <br />combined because in the end it costs the City time and money to separate <br />the two departments and everything ends up in the same place anyway. <br />I~Irs. Scalze co~nented that until the City is fully watered she cannot <br />see that this cou:l.d be done. <br />Council action on the proposed sewea and water budgets for 1982 will <br />be taken at the February 10 Council meeting. <br />Additional The City Clerk is requesting authorization for additional part-time <br />Ot£ice Help heJ.p in the City o£f9.ce. <br />Mrs. 1lardini suggested that pexhaps the City could look into the <br />possibility of getting a high school student in to do the filing <br />and copy-making. <br />iYirs. Scalze agreed that the City o£fice staf£ could use additional help. <br />Page -7- <br />
