COUNCIL MINUTES April 13, 1998 will establish the proper procedures and utility charges for Staff and the requesting property to follow in responding to a request to connect to the utility system. Mr. Ahrens continued stating that based on discussion with Council, the proposed policy reflects concerns and issues raised by Council at the March 18, 1998, work session. Therefore, Staff is recommending that Council adopt Resolution No. 98 - 51 establishing a policy for utility rates to properties outside of city boundaries. Council Member Bergeson asked if the policy applied to an emergency connection to Centerville. Mr. Ahrens said that was a separate agreement between the two cities and applied to the property owners who want to use the service on a daily basis. Council Member Lyden asked if this was a"blanket policy" or was there an addendum for churches. Mr. Ahrens stated that initially it did allow for churches but that was removed. Council Member Neal stated he would be presenting a proposal to give a utility discount to senior citizens that would include garbage,water, and sewer. He stated that they have implemented this policy in Blaine and it has worked well. Mayor Sullivan suggested the proposal be brought to a Council work session. Council Member Bergeson moved to adopt Resolution No. 98 - 51, as presented. Council Member Dahl seconded the motion. Motion carries unanimously.
