Mayor reports resident wants bank's water service disconnected; council to consult solicitor
Summary
Mayor Valinda Hammons told council that a local property owner, Rue Bowman, wants to disconnect water service to a bank to avoid the bill; council said the account must continue paying while service is offered and asked staff to consult the village solicitor.
Mayor Valinda Hammons reported at the Feb. 12 meeting that Rue Bowman is seeking to disconnect water service to a bank account to avoid paying the bill. Hammons said the village's position is that the account must continue to pay for water service while service remains available and that the council asked staff to contact the village solicitor about the matter.
The item was raised as part of the mayor's report; council did not take a formal vote on the issue at the Feb. 12 meeting. The minutes record the mayor's description of the request and the council's instruction to consult the solicitor rather than any authorization to disconnect service.
Council did not record additional details such as whether the bank account is in the village's name or the exact reason Bowman wants the service disconnected. The matter was left for follow-up with the village solicitor and staff.
