• • COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 23, 1996 PUBLIC HEARING, UNPAID SEWER AND WATER UTILITY BILLS, MARY VASKE Ms. Vaske explained that each year the Utility Department experiences difficulty collecting payment on certain quarterly sewer and water bills. Bills left unpaid when a resident leaves Lino Lakes are turned over to a collection agency, and most are collected in this manner.

The City will continue to accept payments until October 14, 1996. The purpose of this public hearing is to receive input from those residents who currently have outstanding sewer and water bills. Following public comment and close of the public hearing, a resolution detailing all delinquent accounts will be presented to Council on October 14, 1996 for approval.
