Council establishes appeals board, approves two utility ordinances and authorizes medical-billing actions
Summary
Mills City Council adopted Ordinance No. 833 (establishing an appeals board), approved second readings of Ordinances 834 and 835 (utility-related), entered executive session on a legal matter, and authorized write-offs and Medicaid/CMS appeals for certain medical-billing items.
At its regular meeting the Mills City Council adopted an ordinance to establish a city appeals board, approved two utility-related ordinances on second readings, entered executive session on a legal matter, and authorized staff actions related to municipal medical billing.
Ordinance No. 833 (third and final reading) establishes an appeals board for the City of Mills. The council called for a third reading, a motion to approve was made and seconded, council members voted 'Aye' and the mayor announced the motion passes. The transcript records affirmative votes but does not provide a detailed roll-call tally by name.
The council then considered Ordinance No. 834 (second reading), described in the meeting as providing for certain lanes on properties that have delinquent water and sewer bills; the motion to approve on second reading was moved, seconded and approved. The council also approved Ordinance No. 835 (second reading), described as providing adjustments to certain water bills; that motion passed on second reading.
The council voted to enter executive session to discuss a legal matter; after returning to open session, members approved a motion authorizing the medical biller to write off certain medical bills for deceased or bankrupt patients. Council also approved a motion authorizing the fire chief and the medical biller to appeal Medicaid and CMS payments where they deem it appropriate.
Where vote tallies or mover/seconder names are not specified in the transcript, this report notes that fact rather than attributing votes to particular council members. The transcript records multiple 'Aye' votes for each action and the presiding official declared the motions passed.
