WR <br /> RMounds View City Council Page Three <br /> egular Meeting November 25, 1991 <br /> William Werner, Sr. , asked if there would be an increase in <br /> this utility over the years? <br /> Samantha Orduno, City Administrator, responded that this program <br /> is based on a 3 year average. <br /> William Werner, Sr. , 2765 Sherwood Road, asked if the City would <br /> be expanding the service portion of administration. Will <br /> the City be adding employees to build up the beaurocracy of the <br /> organization in order to operate the utility? <br /> Orduno stated there will be staff time costs for loading a data base. <br /> This program will add one more function in the billing process. <br /> The billing cost will be shared with the water and sewer utility. <br /> Only 5% would be added as administrative overhead. <br /> William Werner, Sr. asked if staff would expand incrementally? <br /> Mr. Werner also asked if there is a plan to eventually increase <br /> staff and will staff be given a higher salary because they will be <br /> working more? <br /> Orduno responded that costs would be materials as well as staff time. <br /> Staff salaries would not exclusively be used for this . <br /> Bill Frits, 8072 Long Lake Road, asked if the Council was proposing <br /> that this utility would disappear in three years. Mr. Frits also <br /> asked if there would be a sunset feature written into this <br /> utility. <br /> Orduno stated that a sunset clause is a Council decision. At this <br /> time the proposal is for three years . <br /> Bill Frits, 8072 Long Lake Road, stated the Council could <br /> add the sunset clause at this time. <br /> Mayor Linke stated that since the public hearing there had been <br /> lobbying for a sunset clause to be added to the ordinance. Mayor Linke <br /> also stated that he was aware that a motion would be put forth <br /> this evening to put a sunset clause on this utility. <br /> Bill Frits stated that he does not want a street light on his corner. <br /> There is one there presently. How does one go about getting rid of <br /> it? If he would get a signed petition from the other four people on <br /> the corner would the Council consider removing it? <br /> Orduno stated that a petition must be signed by 50% of the people who <br /> would be affected by the installation of the street light. <br /> • <br />
