City Council Meeting Minutes July 22, 1992 page four Mr. Davis noted that he sees the jars around town requesting donations for fireworks and the City requested volunteers to assist with the playground equipment. He appeared to insinuate that these two actions suggest a poor financial situation for the City of Centerville. Mr. Davis appeared to further suggest that the municipal facility is being built for the contractors, the developers and City Council members. Not the residents of Centerville. Council member Pelton noted that the contracting and developing in the town is for City businesses and homes. Those businesses and homes turn into property owners and residents. Mayor Buckbee added that the construction of the municipal facility is not a personal issue. He advised that four council seats are up for election in November. With the upcoming election it is possible that none of the four Council members whose terms are expiring would be there to enjoy the facility. He advised that he is working on the municipal facility for the benefit of the citizens of the City of Centerville. Lake Sanitation - Volume Base Billin2 Mayor John Buckbee presented a counter proposal to Lake Sanitation for volume based billing. He reiterated from previous meetings that he would like the volume based billing to be revenue neutral to the citizens of Centerville. Lee LaBore, Attorney for Lake Sanitation, advised that Mary Ayde of Lake Sanitation does agree with the counter proposal and that she will send letters out to the citizens of Centerville outlining the three different services available. He advised that Lake Sanitation would like the proposal to be reviewed next spring for problems. Mary Ayde of Lake Sanitation was also present at the meeting. Ms. Ayde advised that she will send information out in the August 1st billing to residents with an application for volume based billing. She would hope to know who would like to be on this system by August 1, 1992. She advised that there would be an administrative charge of $5.00 for switching from full service to volume based, however, there will be one time per year at which there would be a open enrollment where any citizen would be able to switch from full service to volume based or visa versa at no charge. Mayor Buckbee advised he wanted to make it clear that the people should know the current volume based proposal represents a three percent cost increase. He also advised that he would like the Lake Sanitation Contract to be re-visited in May 1993 and is very disappointed that the Contract is one-sided to Lake Sanitation.
