Commission Agenda
for July 5th, 2005 Citizen Sewer Maintenance Clarified |
The Collinsville City
Commission met Tuesday, July
5th at 7pm (at the City Hall Annex, 1126 West Main)
for a special meeting of the City Commission.
City Commission:
III. Roll Call. (all
present)
Mayor Stan Sallee ___
Vice Mayor Gail Rogers ___
Commissioner Pam Porter ___
Commissioner Melodie Bateman ___
Commissioner Brad Overholt ___
IV. CONSENT: All matters
under "Consent" are considered by the City Commission to be routine
and will be enacted by one motion. Any Commissioner may, however, remove an
item from consent by request.
1. Approval of Minutes of the Collinsville City Commission Regular Meeting
of June 20, 2005 and Special Meeting of June 22, 2005.
2. Approval of disbursements and payroll.
3. Approval of Surety Bond for Karen Randell-Clark, appointed City Treasurer.
--Approved
V.UNFINISHED BUSINESS
1. Consideration and possible
approval of Ordinance 767 amending the employee retirement system. --Approved:
2 changes
...a) Changed payout from 2.25% to 2.65%
...b) Allow up to 4% employee contribution (had been 2% max) with an additional
1.09% contribution by the city for those contibuting 4%.
2. Consideration and possible approval of Emergency Clause pertaining to Ordinance 767. -- Approved
3. Consideration and possible
approval of Ordinance 762 amending section 17, chapter 6 of code of ordinances
by adopting section 17-601 providing that property owners utilizing sanitary
sewer system shall be responsible for maintenance of their lines and connections.
-- Approved -- this ordinance was to clarify what the
city could ask citizens to do to keep their private sewer lines in proper
working condition. This was driven in part by a smoke test conducted more
than 3 years ago that showed 108 lines that were potentially allowing infiltration
of ground water and mud into the sewer mains. The ordinance wording had been
OK'd by the DEQ which has the city under a consent order for a number of improvements.
A letter to individuals with potential sewer line problems would be the first
step. They would be asked for their cooperation in repairing the line and
options would be made available for those with financial hardships.
4. Consideration and possible approval of Emergency Clause pertaining to Ordinance 762. --Approved
5. Consideration and possible approval of annual renewal contract with Crawford
and Associates to provide accounting and consulting services in order to complete
FY 04-05 Financials. -- Approved ... continuation of
the independent consultion about 90% complete with the auditor changeover
(with fees of $100/hour when requested).
6. Discussion and possible approval of Final Draft of revised Employee Personnel Manual to become effective July 15, 2005. (See supplement). --Approved
7. Discussion of processes
of appointing a personnel board as outlined in City Charter. -Discussion only
No Action to be taken.-
Apparently the city used to have this 3-member board
for grievance resolution in the past but it had not been used recently. The
mayor and commissioners may start considering possible candidates at their
next worksession (possible July12th).
8. Discussion concerning
Ad Valorum Tax Base in the City of Collinsville. -Discussion only No Action
to be taken.-
This informal discussion indicated the commission would
be willing to work with the school district to help minimize any potential
impact to ad valorum tax changes if the city were running the natural gas
franchise instead of ONG. Fee reductions were one potential option mentioned
by the Mayor. Mayor Sallee also stated that the school (which paid about $50,000
in utility bills to ONG last year) received about $10,900 in ad valorum tax
from ONG in 2004 for the city limit valuation.
VI. EXECUTIVE SESSION
