MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS
PRESIDENT PRO TEM DOUGHERTY: We’re now under Miscellaneous Business. Is there any
Miscellaneous Business?
MEMBER CIRELLI: Mr. President.
PRESIDENT PRO TEM DOUGHERTY: Member Cirelli.
MEMBER CIRELLI: Thank you sir. Mr. Price, could you tell me the water and the sewer bills, do they...are
they, our Codified....well maybe Mr. Martuccio could answer, I’m not sure, are they sent to the property
owner as such or are there any contracts that have where possibly a, we don’t have any condos but like
perhaps maybe at the Quarry, does the Quarry pay for it and then the people pay them or every individual that
lives at the Quarry considered a property owner and they pay the same, just like to my understanding for
years the City has always done that to every property owner?
SERVICE DIRECTOR PRICE: Mr. President, If the Quarry for instance, those property owners that live
within the subdivision, they..their water is metered at the home, they get their own bill. The...the...the
property owner is ultimately responsible if the bill is not paid because we...it ends up being a lien on the
property taxes. So, I...does that answer your question...we...we there are situations, our bill is generally going
to go out to the property owner. Now there are situations where by lease arrangement, you know, the tenant
for instance might be responsible for the water bill by contract between landlord and the tenant but ultimately
from the City’s standpoint we don’t play that, we...we are going to hold the property owner ultimately
responsible for that.
