Mounds View City Council February 23, 2004 <br />Regular Meeting Page 10 <br />• 1 Council Member Stigney said he feels this position is unneeded and unnecessary since the City <br />2 has an automated phone system that was put in and he does not feel this is in the best interest of <br />3 the City. <br />4 <br />5 Mayor Linke said he feels this benefits City residents. <br />6 <br />7 Ayes - 4 Nays -1(Stigney) Motion carried. <br />8 <br />9 C. Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance 729, an Ordinance <br />to Setting Sanitary Sewer Rates for Service in the Year 2004 <br />11 <br />12 Finance Director Hansen reviewed the changes made to the Ordinance since February 9, 2004. <br />13 He then recommended that Council consider a minimum unit usage of three (3) rather than the <br />14 five previously discussed because the five (5) unit minimum captures a lot of residents that use <br />15 very little water. <br />16 <br />17 Mayor Linke indicated that he did not think that five units would be too much. <br />18 <br />19 Council Member Marty agreed. <br />20 <br />21 Council Member Stigney indicated that the average of the users listed in the report is 2.29 so he <br />22 would think it would be more appropriate to make the minimum usage two and a half (2.5) units. <br />• 23 <br />24 Finance Director Hansen indicated the system does not accept half units so the figure would need <br />25 to be whole. <br />26 <br />27 Council Member Stigney asked Staff to check whether the system would take a half unit and then <br />28 said that he would like the minimum usage not to be over three (3) units. <br />29 <br />3o Council Member Gunn agreed with Mr. Hansen's recommendation as there are a lot of residents <br />31 that use less than three (3) units. <br />32 <br />33 Council Member Quick commented that he feels that everybody needs to be "pushing on the <br />34 cart" and he is not sure that using three units as the minimum would bring enough money into the <br />35 system to support it so he would like to keep it at five units. <br />36 <br />37 Council Member Quick asked how many residents were using three units or less. <br />38 <br />39 Finance Director Hansen indicated that 104 users were using three units or less. <br />40 <br />41 Council Member Quick asked whether it could be broken down to single family houses or <br />42 apartments. <br />43 <br /> <br />
