Mounds View City Council March 11, 2002 Regular Meeting Page 15 Mayor Sonterre told Mr. Mack this matter has been outstanding for a long time. He then said he is surprised that Mr. Mack has not been more aggressive to see if he could make modifications regarding the water output. He further commented that he finds it hard to believe that Mr. Mack received a voicemail today indicating that this person could be contacted for further information and, knowing he was coming to Council to discuss the matter, Mr. Mack did not make an effort to contact this individual and has nothing to present to Council other than he hopes to call tomorrow. Mr. Mack agreed he has had time to deal with the matter but said he does not use the water the Metropolitan Council claims he would use. Mayor Sonterre indicated Mr. Mack has an issue with the Metropolitan Council concerning how the SAC unit charge was determined but that issue is separate from the issue of Mr. Mack owing the City $43,000. Mayor Sonterre asked Mr. Mack if he had a willingness to work out a payment schedule with the City. Mr. Mack said he does not feel he should have to pay anything and said he wants the Metropolitan Council to pay the City. Mayor Sonterre said Mr. Mack needed to take care of what he owes the City. He then asked Mr. Mack if he was interested in involving himself in an arrangement to make payments to the City based on revenues from the business. Director Ericson indicated it seems that the City has gone past the point of attempting to enter into a payment arrangement but said that, since negotiations had only just begun after all this time, he is willing to give Mr. Mack the opportunity to work out a payment arrangement. Mayor Sonterre asked Director Ericson to sit down with Finance Director Hansen to determine how much the payment to the City should be and asked that the matter be back before Council at the next meeting if an agreement is not reached. He then noted that the business license would be revoked at the March 25, 2002 meeting if an arrangement is not made. MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Marty.
