Motion by Council member Sweeney, seconded by Council member Travis to set the agenda. Motion carried unanimously. VII. PETITIONS AND COMPLAINTS VIII. UNFINISHED BUSINESS (Continued) Sewer/Water Rate Increases Mr. March reviewed the sewer and water rates that were suggested as part of the study that Bonestroo performed. He recommended that rates be implemented so that we can put the information in the City newsletter and to have the increases take effect the first quarter of 2000. The following are the rates: Sanitary Sewer Rate $42.00 per quarter Water Rate $16.00 flat rate and $1.60 per thousand gallons used. Mayor Wilharber stated that the article should state the reasons for the rate increases so the residents have a better understanding. Motion by Council member Sweeney, seconded by Council member Nelson to approve the sewer and water rates recommended by staff. Motion carried unanimously. IX. NEW BUSINESS Liquor License and Tobacco License Approval Mr. March informed the Council that the required application information has been received and reviewed by Chief Heckman. We are waiting for one fee from an establishment. Councilmember Broussard asked about compliance checks for under age purchase of tobacco products. Mr. March stated that the police department is required to perform compliance checks. Councilmember Nelson expressed concern about Waterworks with underage consumption. Mayor Wilharber explained that underage consumption is different than serving a minor in that the police could have arrested the person in the parking lot and this would have nothing to do with Waterworks, but that he would investigate the reports that Councilmember Nelson mentioned. Motion by Council member Travis, seconded by Council member Sweeney, to approve the liquor /tobacco licenses for 2000. Motion carried unanimously.
