SUGGESTIONS FROM COUNCIL - GENERAL DISCUSSION: Mayor Bailie recognized Mr. Herb Wheeler who wished to make a statement concerning proposed Ordinance on Water/Sewer Liability for unpaid water bills.

He strongly favored.the use of deposits as a deterrent against unpaid water bills. Mr. Grigg requested that representatives of the Apartment Owners Association be present at the next Workshop Meeting as he, too, favored a deposit over making it a responsibility of the landlord. However, he was confident that; -if all parties worked together on this problem, a workable solution could be arrived at. Mr. Earl Warren was critical of City's billing system by stating., "if you don't send bills, you don't get them paid; further, if people do not pay their bills, we don't need them."
