Councilmember Look clarified with Mr. Delaney that he was willing to pay what's required, he <br />just doesn't want to be in a different category than anyone else. There is a major difference <br />between the charges to Mr. Delaney and the charges to his neighbor. Councilmember Look <br />stated he would be willing to look at Mr. Delaney's property. <br />Staff offered to schedule a meeting with Mr. Delaney. <br />Greg Oseid, 15101 Cobalt Street NW, stated he is delinquent and he would like the City to look <br />at a different venue for collecting money. He would like to be able to pay online as this way the <br />bill is too easy to overlook. <br />Ms. Lund offered some options for payment. <br />Council discussed some of the options and how often the City certifies these amounts and <br />suggested the issue of certifying more often than once a year could be discussed at a work <br />session. <br />Janine Brock, 15240 Kangaroo Street NW, stated that she does not have a computer and she <br />cannot afford intend service. Going paperless as an option was not a good one for her. She <br />added that she pays her bills on time. <br />Councilmember McGlone stated that she (Ms. Brock) would still have the regular option of <br />being mailed a bill and paying by check. <br />Ms. Brock inquired if the storm drainage fee includes keeping culverts open — like the ones <br />under driveways. She reported that her neighbor has blocked his and in the spring, it overflows <br />her driveway. <br />Mayor Ramsey recommended Ms. Brock talk with the Engineering Department. Most likely that <br />property is on an easement that the City controls. <br />Roe Merry, 16030 Iguana Street NW, stated that he has lived in Ramsey a little over a year. The <br />previous occupant and account number were assigned to him and there ended up being <br />delinquent charges that were added on to his taxes. He stated he would appreciate it if these <br />amounts were rescinded as he was never notified of this <br />Ms. Lund stated that the property owner's title company is supposed to conduct a search. <br />Mr. Merry stated that his title company did and paid $80, but it was delinquent so the amount <br />continued. <br />Discussion ensued relating to the duties of title companies. Mr. Merry wondered what happened <br />to the billing. <br />City Council / September 28, 2010 <br />Page 5of16 <br />
