#2. Dorothy Pulley, 724 Brazier Court, addressed the Council. She was upset because the owner of the property surrounding her home had the water shut off to his properties and had also included her address for shut off. She explained that she was at home when the water department arrived to shut the water off, however, they should have checked the ownership. She explained that the tenants of the other homes are trying to purchase the properties under foreclosure and feels that there should be some alternative ways to have the water turned on if they are not the property owners. Roger Cutler, city attorney, explained the ordinance and said that the city has made an offer that if the residents post security the water service can be restored. He said that they would not have to post any security if a bankruptcy court trustee will sign for guaranty of payment. He said that David Smith, attorney, is presently attempting to have a trustee appointed. Mr. Cutler said that the city is working on this situation.
The meeting adjourned at 7:05 p.m.
