PAYNE CULVERT: The Administrator talked with Mrs. Payne. She indicated the damage done to Keats was not done by her culvert but by a farmer next door. The Administrator requested the Engineer look at the culvert and the driveway and make a determination on who is responsible. Morgan moved, seconded by Armstrong, to authorize the Engineer to inspect the culvert and driveway on the Payne property and relate his findings to the Administrator and City Council. Motion carried 4-0. Armstrong questioned whether the realtor listing the Payne property was aware that a five (5) acre parcel cannot be sold, landlocking the remaining 37 acres. The Administrator will con- tact the realtor and inform him of the City's Ordinance. CONSENT RESOLUTION 79-44: Morgan moved, seconded by Pott, to approve Consent Resolution 79-44 (attached to and hereby made a part of these minutes). Motion carried 4-0. DELINQUENT WATER BILLS: In discussion, Pott expressed concern that the City has created an enviroment where the City has not exerted pressure for payment of past due bills. Now the City is pressuring them to either pay in the next 60 days or it will be put on their taxes. He agrees the money should be collected; but is opposed to the method being used. All twelve delinquent accounts have been notified by letter. The Administrator has talked to some and intends to telephone those who have not contacted him by next week. Armstrong stated he is still in favor of holding the hearing. The bills do not have to be assessed; but this will give the City an opportunity to know what approach to pursue.
