Mr. Soth had answered several questions which had arisen during the Council 's October 28th consideration, of penalties for late payment of bills for water and sewer services. The Manager reiterated, however, that he believes the City' s current policy of shutting off accounts not paid within 30 days is a better solution than penalties and therefore, recom- mends no changes in policy for Ordinance 1980-005. Mayor Haik reported that during the Open- House the -previous evening the proprietor of the Apache Mall Laundromat had-- requested the raise in sewer rates be staged because he believes the great increase in the costs for water and energy next year may force him to close down. Mr. Fornell said an increase in rates next year is the only way the City will be able to meet the anticipated (25%) increase in MWC charges to the City other than to subsidize the sewer fund which he would not recommend. Motion by Councilman Marks and seconded by Councilman Sundland to approve the third reading and adopt Ordinance 1980-005. • ORDINANCE 1980-005 AN ORDINANCE RELATING TO SEWER RATES AND CHARGES, AMENDING SECTION 540 OF THE 1973 CODE.

During the lengthy discussion which followed this motion, it- became apparent there was no consensus for adoption but rather there appeared to be philosophical differences related to the extent of control the City would exercise over decisions made by the planners, with Mayor Haik and Councilman Marks preferring B.R.W. , Inc. as planners . Councilman Ranallo saw this as "the largest and most important • project the City will probably undertake in the next 25 to 30 years" and therefore, "unanimity on the Council from the start is essential" . Councilman Sundland withdrew his motion with agreement by Councilman Ranallo. In the hope some of the differences might be resolved, the staff was requested to prepare a listing of questions to be presented to Westwood and B.R.W. during a special Council meeting to be held November 25th.

In his November 10th memorandum, Mr. Soth had indicated the Council "could sit as the City's Human. Relations Committee" but he added "it is not essential the City have such a committee at all" .
