The funding for the project <br /> 9 would come from the Contingency Account. <br /> 10 <br /> 11 Councilmember Trude felt that, once the system was <br /> 12 implemented, it would free up a lot of staff time and <br /> 13 eliminate many phone calls by residents. Eventually, it would <br /> 14 probably save the City an administrative assistant position. <br /> 15 The FreeNet system would give people the information they seek <br /> 16 and demand. <br /> 17 <br /> 18 Councilmember Hankner said she would be supporting this item <br /> 19 but stressed the importance of the Council to be cautious in <br /> 20 using funds from the Contingency Account. <br /> 21 <br /> 22 MOTION/SECOND: Trude/Linke to Adopt Resolution No. 4747 <br /> 23 Transferring $2012 from Contingency Account to MIS Account for <br /> 24 FreeNet Project <br /> 25 <br /> 26 VOTE: 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried <br /> 27 <br /> 28 D.

As a last resort, the City's <br /> 35 collection policy provides that customers who do not pay for <br /> 36 their utility services will have those services discontinued. <br /> 37 This Ordinance also provides that when notice is sent to <br /> 38 delinquent customers, they may request a hearing before the <br /> 39 City Council to explain why their service should not be <br /> 40 discontinued. This, in effect, gives them a due process <br /> 41 provision. <br /> 42 <br /> 43 MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Hankner to Adopt Ordinance No. 551 <br /> 44 Relating to the Procedure for Shutting Off Water Service for <br /> 45 Delinquent Accounts and Amending Title 900, Chapter 906, <br /> 46 Sections 906 . 11 and 906. 13 of the Mounds View Municipal Code <br /> 47 <br /> 48 Councilmember Trude stated that she would not be supporting <br /> 49 the adoption of this ordinance for reasons given at a previous <br /> 50 meeting. <br />
