Explanation/Summary Summar y (attach-supplement sheets-as-neeessary-1� - SUMMARY; City Attorney James Thomson called this morning regarding Resolution No. 4692, A Resolution Outlining Collection Policy For Delinquent Utility Bills. He stated that the City Code should contain a "due process" provision under which an owner, or a tenant, of a property for which the City proposes to shut off water service for non payment of the water bill may request a hearing before the City Council to present testimony as to why the service should not be shut off. The City Attorney has drafted Ordinance No. 551, An Ordinance Relating To The Procedure For Shutting Off Water Service For Delinquent Accounts And Amending Title 900, Chapter 906, Sections 906.11 And 906.13 Of The Mounds View City Code, for your consideration. Attached please find Ordinance No. 551. The City Attorney further suggested that Resolution No. 4692 be revised to make reference to the shut off procedures in the revised City Code. Since Resolution 4692 makes reference to the revised Chapter 906, it should be tabled until such time as Ordinance 551 is adopted. Council may introduce Ordinance 551 at this meeting if desired. Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. Staff awaits Council direction in this matter. Donald Brager, Financ irector RECOMMENDATION; Table Resolution No. 4692 and introduce Ordinance No. 551.
