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 IA through lE, as presented. <br /> 35 Councilmember Stoesz seconded the motion.
