MINUTES OF CITY COUNCIL
July 6, 2010
Mayor Mehlhaf called the meeting to order at 6:04 PM.
Answering roll call: Mayor Darrell Mehlhaf; Councilmen Ronald Diede, Jerry Fischer, Galen Guthmiller, Jerome Hoff, Jerome Kotalik and Scott Simonsen; quorum present. Finance Officer Peggy Thranum, Newspaper Editor Erik Kaufman and Aaron Matthaei were also present.
Guthmiller moved to approve the agenda. Diede seconded; all ayes.
Guthmiller moved to use the average of the water used January through June to establish a sewer average to be used for the next 12 months. Fischer seconded; roll call-all ayes.
To begin this new program, no sewer average will be used January-June 2011. Your sewer charge for each of these 6 months will be based on the amount of water used each month. After this data has been collected, a sewer average will be figured to use the next 12 months, July 2011 through June 2012. In July of 2012 a new average will be figured for the next 12 months based on the average of water used for the 1st 6 months of 2012 and so on. Meters will be read by the city in January and July, 2011.
The reason behind metering the city services is for accountability of gallons used so we have a more accurate determination of what our water loss is. Fischer moved to meter all city services before January 1, 2011. Simonsen seconded; roll call-all ayes.
No action was taken on water meters.
Diede moved to adjourn at 7:00 p.m. Guthmiller seconded; all ayes.
