LAKE ELMO COUNCIL MTG - 1/17/84 Page five C. Illegal Parking - Gary Swanson was present, and Dunn requested that police start ticketing illegal parking in front of fire hydrants since this is one traffic law that should be enforced vigorously.

Snowmobiles - Gary Swanson mentioned that main problem with snowmobiles is operating them on RR right-of-way and state and county highways, which problem the police officer on snowmobile will be pursuing. 10. ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT A. Water Meter Estimating - M/S/P Morgan/Dunn that water meter readings be estimated for January. (Carried 4-0) B. Self -Reading Meter Cards - Klaers said this system could be used with computer and is offered through the ISAC program - would be a time and cost saver - meters would still be read once a year. Dunn suggested billing three times a year on past usage and then billing once a year on meter readings, thereby eliminating computer cards. Eder suggested at least distinguishing between commercial and residential since commercial would have most variability - and suggested examining 90% of customers, excluding commercial, to see if readings can be estimated three times a year. C. Animal Control Contract - M/S/P Morgan/Dunn to approve the animal control contract as written. (Carried 4-0) D.
