Case #1 <br /> <br /> OPEN BURNING DISPOSAL PERMITS <br />By: Sandra Ashley Helling, Finance Officer <br /> <br />Backgrou:~d: r <br /> <br />Earlier thi,~ yeftar the City issued a permit for open burning to Sauter & Sons, <br />representirg Fi & R Enterprises. The Council, in approving the permit, directed <br />that all C(ists~: for fire suppressions services incurred would be paid by the <br />applicant. ~hei Finance Department issued an invoice to Sauter and Sons on <br />March 16, ['199:2 in the amount of $500.00 for a fire call that resulted from this <br />permitted Iburd. After considerable follow-up by the Finance Officer, we finally <br />received p~ym~nt on June 17, 1992 - 90 days later. <br />Observati~3n~: <br />Without an, e~.crow deposit, the City's primary collection vehicle would be to <br />assess thei pr~,perty "benefited" under special assessments for current services. <br />This is a I~bot~ intensive process and obviously costly. <br /> ~ r <br />Recommehda~tion: <br /> I ; <br /> <br />The C~ty r~qullre an escrow deposit for all approved opening burning disposal <br />permits. Fqr the sake of simplicity, this deposit is recommended in the amount <br />of $500.00! <br /> <br />Budge! C~rmhittoe Action: <br />To direot/n~ot ~lirect the Finance Officer to prepare a resolution for the next <br />Council ^~ond~ to amend the City's schedule of rates, fees and charges to <br />include a $50~.00 escrow deposit. <br /> <br />Review Checklist: <br /> <br />City Admihist~ator <br />Finance Officei' <br /> <br />BC: 06/23/92 <br /> <br />Copies also distributed to: <br /> <br />Fire Chief <br />Environmental/Specialist <br /> <br /> <br />
