Residents addressed the council Sept. 16 to oppose a recent change in utility billing for rental properties. Frank Pace, Jim Dreher, and Mike Wardell spoke to the council about the effects of billing changes; after a "lengthy discussion" the council agreed to revert to billing tenants directly for rental properties.
The minutes do not record a formal motion or a roll-call vote for this reversion, but state the council ‘‘agreed to go back to billing the tenants for the rental properties." The record lists the public commenters by name and shows the council accepted their input and reversed the billing practice.
