She noted the amount of revenue being <br />20 generated by this new fee. The water in her area goes straight into a pond which hasn't been <br />21 changed since the 1980's. Her area is very dry and they don't need any services. This doesn't meet <br />22 the definition of a utility service. <br />23 City Resident — stated that the utility charge should not be a fee but should be included in taxes. <br />24 Henry Tverberg, 6388 Hodgson Road — he has no storm water runoff anywhere near him — it's clear <br />25 where the water is running. He's been there for 65 years and nothing's changed as far as where the <br />26 storm water runs. He doesn't support the charge. <br />27 City Engineer Hankee provided information on benefits of establishing a City storm water utility. <br />28 Mayor Rafferty commented on the benefit of providing these services city wide. <br />29 Councilmember Lyden gave his perspective on the fee. He supports having a service to maintain <br />30 ditches and surface water areas. <br />31 SETTING THE AGENDA <br />32 The agenda was amended to postpone Item 6B for further discussion at a work session. <br />33 CONSENT AGENDA <br />34 Councilmember Lyden moved to approve the Consent Agenda, Items I through IE, as presented. <br />35 Councilmember Stoesz seconded the motion.
