Her 18 water doesn't go anywhere but on her property. She feels it is wrong to tax everyone—situations 19 are different. The water on her property is hers and it stays there. 20 21 Joe Hill, 6933 Sunrise Drive, stated that he has no City sewer or water. There is a lake in his 22 neighborhood where the surface water goes. They receive very little in the way of City services in 23 their area. The fee is wrong. 24 25 Jeff Johnson, 6965 Sunrise Drive, said he has the same feelings on the $48 bill he got in the mail. 26 He was surprised to receive a bill since he has no storm sewers and receives no regular maintenance. 27 If it's going to be share and share alike and he's paying for other people's storm sewers, he wonders 28 what will happen when he gets future services—will others pay for that? He is content with the 29 system he uses. 30 31 Mayor Rafferty noted the issue at hand—the storm water utility. He asked that people take a copy '32 of the information being provided at the back of the room. He introduced the City Engineer and 33 suggested that she will be available for questions. The mission is to place the burden for costs on 34 the heaviest users. 35 36 Chris Milow, 6848 Lakeview Drive, stated that at his property,the storm water runs onto his 37 property only. It makes no sense to him to try and make storm water maintenance equitable. He is 38 a master plumber. He has read the information provided and acknowledges it but he feels there still 39 exists an inequity. 40 41 Ellen Gatchell, 952 Main Street said that she hears that people are up in arms and she asks,why was 42 this letter sent out? Why now? She has no City water and no public sewer. There is one area but 43 it is never opened so it doesn't operate. 44 SETTING THE AGENDA 45 The agenda was approved as presented. 1 COUNCIL MINUTES APPROVED 46 SPECIAL PRESENTATION 47 Promotion Recognition—District Chief Jesse Fronek 48 CONSENT AGENDA 49 Councilmember Cavegn moved to approve the Consent Agenda, Items I through 1F as presented. 50 Councilmember Lyden seconded the motion.
