~nds View City Council <br />gular Meeting <br />Page Three <br />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 />Orduno stated that a sunset clause is a Council decision. At this <br />time the proposal is for three years. <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 />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 />
