The council is only committing it for the time frame under this financing plan. <br /> 7 <br /> 8 Ms. Trude apologized for quoting incorrect figures as to when the system will be paid in <br /> 9 full. <br /> 10 <br /> 11 Duane McCarty, 8060 Long Lake Road, stated he was under the impression last week that <br /> 12 there would be a little bit longer time frame m which to respond. He is still not sure if he <br /> 13 understands why a "pay as you go" system will not work for the City of Mounds View. <br /> 14 He does not feel residents should incur debt on their children and grandchildren. He does <br /> 15 not understand why it would be more difficult to schedule change out with residents under <br /> 16 an on-going maintenance program than an entire program. <br /> 17 <br /> 18 Mayor Linke stated in regard to the ongoing system, the city has been doing that since the <br /> 19 1980's. The city has not been able to ever catch up or jump ahead of the system. Right <br /> 20 now the city is replacing approximately 75 meters each year. There is not sufficient staff <br /> 21 to accommodate the changes. <br /> 22 <br /> 23 Mr. McCarty stated he is a firm believer in participating democracy and he strongly feels <br /> 24 that it does not hurt to give another week or two to the public to be sure that they all <br /> 25 understand what is being done. The public may have some worthwhile ideas too. <br /> 26 <br /> 27 Mayor Linke noted that the national accuracy average in water meters is 85%. The city's <br /> 28 accuracy was found to be 94%but this was only based upon the inspection of 30 meters. <br /> 29 <br /> 30 VOTE: 4 ayes 1 nay(Trude) Motion carried. <br /> 31 <br /> 32 REPORTS <br /> 33 <br /> 34 1.
