Regular City Council Meeting Monday,January 27, 2014 Page 30 property herself, Councilmember McGehee noted this was one reason she kept all utilities in her name; recognizing that this put the onus on the property owner. However, Councilmember McGehee opined that it was not the City's responsibil- ity to hunt down every property owner who wished to create an LLC or hire a property manager. While expressing her sympathy for all parties involved, Coun- cilmember McGehee opined that this waiver should not be granted. In accordance with current code, Councilmember Willmus opined that the City Council didn't have an option to waive the fee; and questioned whether it was proper to rewrite code to address this case specifically, and to do so retroactively as well. Councilmember Willmus opined that he could support a payment plan, while unsure of the timeframe; however, given the opinion offered by the City At- torney, opined that the City Council was in no position to do anything other than to collect this fee. Councilmember Laliberte concurred with Councilmember Willmus, specific to how the code was written and need to collect the delinquent debt under UV Color; and asked that staff create a new debt and collect it by yearend to avoid any fur- ther collection burdens. Mayor Roe clarified that the action would be to certify collection at the next op- portunity, which would be yearend when action was taken by Ramsey County.
