[00:21] Father God, I thank you for this day, and I thank you for each person that attended here.
[00:29] I thank you, Father, for the leadership that Dean provides and the direction that the council provides.
[00:35] I pray, God, that you would watch over them, watch over their families.
[00:40] I ask that you be with the city employees and protect us.
[00:44] I ask that this meeting be guided in a way that's pleasing to you.
[00:47] It's in Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
[00:51] Brian, would you do the point, please?
[00:53] I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America
[00:57] and to the republic for which it stands,
[01:00] one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice,
[01:05] for all.
[01:06] Thank you, Brian.
[01:07] Thank you, Chief.
[01:09] Item 4 is public input and unscheduled personal appearances.
[01:12] Anyone of the audience that wishes to address the authority on any agenda items?
[01:18] There being none, Item 5 is consent agenda.
[01:20] Staff is recommending Items 6 through 11 for the consent agenda.
[01:26] If there are no questions on any of those items, I'd entertain a motion.
[01:30] I must do it for the mayor.
[01:31] And a second?
[01:32] Second.
[01:34] Roll call, please.
[01:35] Johnson?
[01:36] Aye.
[01:36] Weston?
[01:37] Aye.
[01:37] Winchester?
[01:38] Aye.
[01:38] Lewis?
[01:39] Aye.
[01:39] Schultz?
[01:40] Aye.
[01:40] Item 12 is new business.
[01:41] Any new business?
[01:42] Anyone?
[01:45] Item 13, staff reports in your packet, if available.
[01:48] And the staff's present if there are any questions.
[01:52] Item 14 is trustee community announcements.
[01:54] Anyone have any announcements?
[01:57] I had asked the utility department's billing staff recently to give me some examples of some
[02:05] of their cut-off process that they go through.
[02:07] We've had a couple of complaints about the amount of the fee that's charged for the cut-off
[02:13] and then to re-establish service.
[02:15] And so I asked them to give me some examples of that, which I have and have kind of looked
[02:19] at.
[02:20] I'm just letting you know at a future utility authority meeting, I may want to revisit that.
[02:24] We passed an ordinance a couple of years ago, and it's been in effect now for a couple of
[02:28] years.
[02:29] And I think some of it bears going back and looking at.
[02:32] So just to kind of...
[02:33] Actually, I think that's been in effect for last year.
[02:34] So it's probably just fun that we take a look and see how it's affecting it.
[02:41] So just a heads up, and I'll ask them to share the information that I have and kind of the
[02:46] general nature prior to that time.
[02:49] Item 15 is adjournment.
[02:50] Do we have a motion to adjourn the SUA meeting?
[02:53] I'll make a motion.
[02:54] And a second, please.
[02:55] I'll second it.
[02:56] Roll call.
[02:57] Forrester?
[02:58] Aye.
