Regular City Council Meeting Monday,June 11,2012 Page 22 list of definitions as she previously outlined in her comments; for the purpose of ensuring confidence that all homeowners were aware of what they could or could not do. Councilmember Pust questioned the need to include this as part of the motion; opining that staff could simply be directed to include the information in upcom- ing water bills, or left to their discretion. However, Councilmember Pust opined that one mailing is not the best way to provide educational information, as well as a mailing being costly, and needing further discussion and a process estab- lished following that discussion. Ms. Davitt noted that including the information in a water bill could be done; however, she noted that billing was staggered and it would take three (3) months to canvass the entire community. Ms. Davitt also noted that a third- party vendor processed the billings; and staff would need to verify with them the ability to include this information. Mr. Schwartz noted, with concurrence by individual Councilmembers, that edu- cational information could also be included in City newsletters and on the City's website, and on Channel 16 as a documentary. Mayor Roe noted that a number of people use electronic payments, and didn't receive a mailed bill; with Ms. Davitt advising that staff could provide the mate- rial electronically as well as in the mail as applicable. Mayor Roe recommended, with consensus of the body that the process for edu- cating the public not be included as part of tonight's motion; and direct staff to proceed in accordance with tonight's discussion. Mayor Roe had several typographical corrections that he provided to staff, as well as some recommended revisions, amending the latest staff presentation, in- cluding: • Change references throughout the document from "City system" to City mains." • Page 2, Section #, lines 62-72: change references from "City Council" to "City." h'• Additional discussion among Councilmembers and City Attorney Gaughan in- cluded the effective date of the policy, similarities with past action an snow- plowing incidents and consideration of case by case issues;mechanisms in place to fund claims outside the City's insurance coverage; and legal implications in pre-dating the policy. Councilmember Willmus asked that the motion on the floor be considered; and any additional action be considered as a subsequent action or separate motion.
