storage facilities in the City. Mr. March stated there are concerns regarding job creation <br />with a business such as proposed and the City will need to limit the amount of property <br />allowable for this type of usage within the Industrial Park. Mr. March suggested looking <br />at the more marginal property in the Industrial Park. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner DeVine, seconded by Commissioner Brainard to schedule <br />a work session on Tuesday, February 13, 2001, at 6:30 p.m. to discuss the criteria <br />for mini-storage facilities within the City. All in favor. Motion carried <br />unanimously. <br /> <br />Commissioner DeVine stated that a resident recently asked him if they are being assessed <br />for City water and sewer services what time frame requirement is there for installation. <br />Mr. March stated he believed the resident would have to hook up to sewer immediately <br />but did not have to hook up to the water service until their well went bad. <br /> <br />Commissioner DeVine indicated the resident is not hooked up to either service currently <br />and for financial reasons, wants to know if there is some way of postponing hooking up <br />to the sewer system. The resident has been assessed a large amount for the services and <br />cannot afford it. <br /> <br />Commissioner Brainard indicated state law governs the issue and the City cannot <br />override that. <br /> <br />Commissioner DeVine stated that the resident is in fear of losing the home if an <br />extension to install services is not granted. Mr. March explained the resident could <br />petition the City to have it assessed to his taxes. <br /> <br />Commissioner DeVine indicated the assessment to run the systems to the property was <br />$13,000 and has been assessed to the property over a period of ten (10) years. The <br />resident is concerned about an estimated $10,000 installation fee to provide sewer <br />services. Mr. March indicated the possibility of assessing the installation fee to the <br />property. <br /> <br />Chairperson Hanson questioned garbage services and whether there were numerous <br />haulers in the city or just one (1). He then questioned a change in billing brought to his <br />attention by a resident. There is an additional $10.00 charge this quarter. Mr. March <br />explained there is only one (1) garbage hauler in the City and stated there should not have <br />been a fluctuation in the price. Mr. March stated that he is unaware of a rate increase. <br /> <br />Chairperson Hanson questioned how the cable franchising is determined in the City. Mr. <br />March explained there is a seven (7) city, cable commission that governs the cable <br />franchise. The commission is currently under negotiations with Qwest to renew the <br />franchise. Mr. March stated that cable rates are regulated by the Commission. <br /> <br />VII.
