The special meeting was called to order at 7:30 p.m., with the following members present: Sandy Peterson, Jay Bartkowicz, Norm Carlson, Tony Maciej, and Jim Molitor.
There was discussion about delinquent utility bills. It was decided that a list of all bills that are 30 days late be presented to council, any bill that is 60 days late will be sent a registered letter stating that the water will be turned off. Any account that is 90 days late will be turned off with a fee of $100.00 will be added and will not be turned back on until all fees are paid in full. This applies all year round.
There was also discussion about the delinquent utility bill at 501 DeGraff. It has always been the precedence of the City of Swanville to put any delinquent city utility bills or fees on the property taxes of the property. With this being said, a letter will be sent to the property owner stating this precedence and that payment needs to be received in 60 days of the letter or the amount due will be added to the property taxes.
Jay Bartkowicz made a motion to move the meeting to the fire hall for the annual Fire Association Meeting. Norm Carlson seconded the motion. All members voted in favor.
At the annual Fire Association meeting it was decided to go with the same budget as last year $44,000.00.
Meeting adjourned 8:20 p.m.
Julie Hollermann, City Clerk/Treasurer
