Summary

A property-owner request to change utility pricing resulted in the council agreeing to charge the owner large-business water and sewer rates and to bill four garbage and four landfill units monthly for an apartment complex; the record shows council agreement but not a formal recorded motion.

At the Jan. 9 meeting, Mayor Lisa Smith addressed Ed Kremer after Kremer asked the council to consider changing water and sewer prices for the apartment complex he owns. After discussion, the council agreed to classify Kremer's complex under the large-business water and sewer rate and to charge four garbage units and four landfill charges per month.

Kremer left the meeting at 4:08 p.m.; the minutes record the council's decision as an agreement rather than a formal motion recorded in the minutes. The council did not record a vote count for this rate decision in the minutes; staff or billing officials will implement the change through the city's billing processes.

The discussion indicates a billing classification change for Kremer's properties; no appeal or formal ordinance change was recorded in the minutes.
