Verne Shay/'Squeak'. I have been here ror a long long time. I run a business here ror a good many years.! am appearing berore the council this evening to bring you up to dale on some eleclrlcal code mishandling. There Is some papers or permits sl~ned by a man that lives out or town. lie has no overseeing or his supposedly company, lie Is signing these paper,. They are Issuing the permlU. lie gocs ahead, the company gocs ahead and docs the lob withoul supervision. That kind or leaves the city In quite a hole In case or a (Ire, death or something like thaI. I think that we are selr Insured. Are we not, the city, We would have an awrullime IC It happened at my house, Ir one or my grandchildren or something like thaI. I would never lei up. This I, the reason that we have these maSler eleclriclans, Cause they can oversee these lobs. We have got another man who Is selling his name on the bOllom or a permit to other people and they are Issuing permits. That also lets us OUI. I am a tar payer and a prelly good tal payer in this town and I don't want to put myselr out In a 11mb anymore than you rellows do or going through a law SUil. or which could be a big one. We had one on the west side. We can thank heavens that Mr, Moore was a master eleclrlclan. There was no way Ihatlhey could go back on him unless they could prove thai ----.. - n .

Now thl, has happened. lie golS the pressure on these guy, and that Is It. Larsonl Mr. Shay, J think a number of us have lalked to you and checked Into It and we did get a memo in our agenda packet which Is a IIlIle Inaccurato in ono respect. For some background, lIpparenliy there was a prior leglll opinion (rom the city that this day to day ,upervlslon o( tho master oloctriclan Wl\S tho oIOrciso-looklng over ovory lob as you lay, had beon kind of taclliy approvod as not bolng 10 necouary, thll day to day stu((. The present cily ally very correctly has Slaled that Is not right. You do havo 10 be Ihere day to day. You can't live in some other Slate and approvo these thing,. Sho did say In the memo that It was going to be because It wa, allowed In lho pas 10 they are going to glvo them a grace period until Aug. Dut I think lhey have changed that unlll April now. Gentryl Yoso Tho genlioman Ihat you aro talking about. Ono o( hi, employees Is taklrigthe lest on April 27. The re,ults o( lhat wlll be In May 270 Paul Dowers Is the inspector a, you know. You have known him for years. lie Is oUlthere on tho Jobs dally, weekly, CheCking the work and I want to lhank you for bringing it 10 our alieni Ion so thai we could get It squared away In terms of whatever prior legal opinion / . [I .1 ~, ,-, b .,\ I .~ page 10 was oUlthere. And \Io'e arc going 10 get II corrected jUlI as qujc~ly as Vl'e can and lei e\'eryone ~now what the new rules arc. Larson/lf he docsn'l pass that masters Ihen there Isn'l going to be juSl signing documenls from out of Slale. Gentryl No. Thai Is going to ceasc. Squeaky Shayl Linda-pardon mc for tlllllng you by your first name- why should vl'c leave this opcn 10 anybody. Wc havc never had that privilege. II has been always know that you sign thaI thing and gel iI to city hall before you even PUI a thing on the lob. Genlryl There Is somelhlng called due process. Since we are the government, \'e have 10 follow it. The permits thai are already out there, Ihose people have a righllo finish those lobs and as long as Paul Dowers Is on Ihe lob inspecting then there should nol be any negllgenl or shoddy work. Now, we have 10 give Ihem some ~Ind of grace period In lerms of pUlling them on notice and Ihalls called due process- CHANGEr APE TO REEL 91-35 SIDE I Genlryl Thanks for bringing It 10 our allentlon and we can gel II corrected. Squeaky Shayl Well, I started last Oct. with Mr. Dowers, Genlry/l knew nothing of Ihls untlllusllhb week, I am sorry aboutlhat. Squeaky Shayl And he kepi pushlna me off saying iI has gone on. IIwenllo the ally and the ally said Ihis, I don'tlake his word, period, JUSI aUlomatlcally, I don't lake his word anymore. McDI We aro going 10 correcl ii, Mr. Shay, Squoilky Shay/lt docsnol mean Ihat much 10 me because whall am trying to do Is prolecl myself as a homeownor and a properly oIVnor and mako sure Ihalthese Ihlngs are done. McDI Thalli whal we wanl also. Thank you. ~ubbyl Another concern, When It says aclively supervlslnglhc day 10 day opera lions. Docs Ihal mean Ihal 0 for mmple, you had one masler electrician, and maybe you are working on ten jobs at one time, Docs thai mean your master electrician Is going from silo to site everyday supervising tho day to day. Squeaky Shayl Yos mam, ~ubbyl And If for some reason Ihat wasnol happening, Ihat means Ihatthat I' a prOblem as well as an oUI of lown slluation. A maIler eleclriclan, don'lthey have 10 approve whallhelr journeyman arc doing. . [t I S '-I ,-, ,\ 1 -j paKc II Squeaky Shayl They have to Insure Ihat mrythlngls right. I hm been out 3S lale as 7 pm "hen I was aCllve. ~ubbyl So it we gel a report thai our maSler eleclrlclan is notlupervlllng their lob slle. Genlryl The code requires Ihatthe journeyman be on Ihe lob slle. The Journeyman has 10 be on the job ,lie. The whole point of I' Is the muter eleclrlcian has more experllse and is mllable for question, or review, ~ubbyl So if the journeyman doesn't hm any que,tlon, and lhey are flnl,hed wllh the lob. that is okay, They don't have 10 get II approved before they can go on to tho nm lIem. Genlryl The city inspeclor I, outthm for that very purpo'e to Insure that thoy are complying. Squeaky Shay/lle should sign the perm II on tho bOllom Ihat he has been there, the day and the time. Genlryl That is not pre,ently required in the code, It I, not that delalled, If we want to make II that delalled then wo need to sent this back to the electrical board, Larsonl But tho code ,ay' that he has to actively supervlso the day to day operations of the firm or tho corporation. Nor necessarily tho lob ,lie, Courtneyl The spirit of Ihe code I, that they arc In town and they can supervise If needed. That Is my reading or It. Gentryl Either a license maSler or journeyman shall be on the lob at all time" It Is ell her or, And In mostin'tances you pay more money for a masler Ihan you do for a lourney man than you do for an apprentice, otco Squoaky Shayl Thank you vory much.

What I would like to tilln\: It means Is that people teellike city council memoors are accessible. I think ~ all are acc~slble and I think maybe we don't say It v':ry often. 110 OM should feellntimldaled about plc\:lng up the phOM and calling up your council members. Just Wcause we don't hm a town meeting every month doesn't mean that at anytime you can't call up your council. I ho~ ~ple are encouraged to do so, I think the town meeting Is just anoUler opportunity to do Ulat. I don't want F*Ople to think that that Is the only time you can call up and elUler complain or compliment you council members, Ambr I During the course of this evening there has b%n some very meaningful discussions about Issues that m really the '1 charge of this city council. That Is to 1001: out for the health, safety, and ~lfare of all the citizens. Just as a small tribute to our management stall and each and mry city employee. I ~rson that I happen to know Who has someullng to do WIth Ule Insurance and Ule worl:ers com~nsation handling for the City of Iowa City told me that they delivered a dividend check for S 12,053 to Kevin O'Malley of our Finance Dept.

The City of Iowa City Dept heads aro qullo cognizant about safety and more meaningful, each and mry single employee of the City of Iowa City Implements those sound, good, safety practicos And for ono whose livelihood Is such that for tho last 34 yms that I am awaro of Uleso kinds of practices, I want to commend Slovo and his stall and mry dopt. head and mry employee for hoping to generate n I S EI EI I' -9 pag~ 3 that refund check and helping to reduce the cost of M~'t years risk management program.

It the ~n3nt leav&s no forV0'3rded address, then the landlord Is r&Sponslblo for that amount. Gentry I Under sta~ law, the landlord and the pro~rty owner are r~sponslbl~ r&gardl&Ss, Iowa City has adopt&<! a polley, years ago, that W& would for&go that lien It there .....i/re a forV0'3rdlng address to UI~ ~nant. In other words, to contluue to try to collect from the ~n3nt rather than the landlord. But l&gally the prop<>rty owner Is liable. r.ubby I so It Is really an advantage to landlords out there to make sure When ~nants leave that you have a forV0'3rdlng address. Gentry/ln 10V0'3 City, It detlnl~ly Is. Larson I And or a damage deposit. KUbby I We might not get around to this In that thirty days that they have to return that deposit. Some of th&se are more than thirty days old. Gentry I The deposits that were With the utlUtl&S division have already lmn applied to the unpaid bills, Larsonl Landlords, oofore they give the damage deposit back, should s~ it the utilities are paid. Gentry I Yes. That is a very good Idea. Horowl At this point W& Will permit property owners to 00 heard concerning the unpaid Charges. Are thm any that Wish to sp<>ak to this, James W. Qulnn/l own a property at 202 E. Davenport St. In Iowa City. I purchased that property in the fall of 1974 and sold It In the fall of 1989. At Ule time of the closing of that pro~rty I contacttld the city utility dept. and ask them to do the final reading of the me~r and to provide me With a bill for the amount that I showod them for the period of time that I owned the property. When I received that bill It was for B88 which was om six times the bill that I had received on any previous bill. I contactOO a lady at the utilities division and told her about the descrepancy In the bill. The comment to me Vo'3S something to the effect that there were lots of problems WiUlthe me~r In Uley would check into it. I subsequenUy received from her. Let me stop here for a second. It Is not my In~ntlon to try and avoid paying a just bill. This Is the third trip that I hm made from Des Moines to Iowa City to try and get this mat~r resolved. I would like to provide a brief chronology of the events, provide you With any documentation that you would request and then you ~II me Whether you Ulink this bill Is just. And it you do, I Will pay It tonight. [t I ~, (I Et ,\ I -14 p.1g~ 2 Larson/ Are you aware or the do.:um~nlS that Wt~ haye reclllYlXl about this mat~r, Quinn/ Yes I am.

Nov / We hm copl&S or all or the lettm that you havo senl Larson/ All or your lettors and all or your r&Sponses we have In addition to Ms. Gentry's lotter, Quinn/ And at the end 01 Whatover wv say tonight then It Is gOing to ~ Clnlshed as rar as I am concernlXl. I have bWn trying ror "fN1I over a ym to get the mattor resolvlXl, I thought that on at least one previous occasion that it had boon resolved. Then It has come back artor the p.1ssage or almost 14 months In a way that I rond someWhat dlstastorul. Lom that as It may. I want to go on through thm things b<<aU5t I know that you have other things to do and I have got a long drive back to Dos Moines. Tho bill that I r&<olvlXl ror $38& and some odd conts was marked Clnal bill. Tho response that I rocelved rrom Cynthia Sh*ts, customer service, concornlng my Inquiry about a raulty metor, datod ():l24, also rerefences my fInal bill. I don't think thoro Is any disagreement about What Clnal means. If there Is, I did bring a dlcUonary With me. At this point the City's poslUon was that thoy relt that It was a result or a leak and that they didn't take any action at all In torms or Inv~tigaUng the meter. As I previously mentioned, I had owned the pro~rty lor 15 years. Leaks were not torrlbly uncommon In it and I had nevor roceived a bill anyWhere near this size. SO I really qu&sUon Whether Is was Ult) r&sult or Ule leak. During the period or the billing the meter did turn oyer to 300.000 and If something doosn't turn over very orton, I sus~t that it may ~ m&<hanlsms or something that may have gone on ~yond that In any case you have my lettor datod Nov. I, 1989 at Which Ume that I proposod to the city that I \%nt back through my previous years bills and I had attached thost) to tho lottor and I took the highest bill that I had rocelvod during that ~rlod, WhiCh billed me ror about $2.00 ~r day ror the servlcf). I proposod that as a setUement to Ule clty-44 days that ( had had Ule service Um&s Ult) $2.00 and sent a [t . /1 S (I (I ./ . ,\ I -I oj pag~ ~ ~h~<k Int.) Ut~ city for $MOO And tM che<k was marked full Jnd final payment TM ltoller also Indicated Utat I wanltd t.) oller that to th~ City as a final payment I also sugg&sted to Ut& city Utat If that wasn't a~~&ptabl~, that I would Uk~ th& matwr submitted to Ut~ courts so that wv could hav~ an Impartial de<lslon on What I owed. Shortly thmafwr I re<elved a Ivtwr ba~k from Cynthia Sh*ts again saying th&y had resvar~hed Ute matwr WlUt Ute MW propvrty OWllvr and thvy had felt Utat thvy had v~rlfled some I~aks on Ute pro~rty and that as far as Ute ~Ity was ~on~~rned Utey wvre very sure that this was Ute result of a leak. I still didn't agrev with Utit fa~t that Utat It \'I'ilS a leak, My chock had boon cashvd. I got tlle ch~k Mr&. I twas not cashed wlUta conditional endorsement of any kind It was clmly marked that my Inwntion was was for a full and final paym&nt on Ute situation. As I already mentioned, ( never had such a wawr bill. A wawr btll had sometimes boon as much as 25:C htgMr Utan Ute norm but this amounted to being 25~ hlghvr than the norm Subsvquent mnts being What Utey are I really don't know whether Utat Is possible or not In any ca~, I fully expeetOO that Ute city would have taken some action. In the mean time I got my bank statvment back. My chock had boon cashed with an unconditional &ndorsement Which t.) me means that there was no elCCeptlon taken even though Ute letter Clearly statOO there was. On Jan. 26th, I re<elved a letter from Jenny Pogenpohl saying In review of the above account It was discovered that you hm boon Incorrectly bllled for refuse services since refuse ~rvlce was established with us In 1975. They are sorry for Ute Inconvenience but the bottom line Is Utat I now owe an additional $542.60, TMy can't go back the full IS years but tMy hm gone back 5 years to colloct this. this ~Ity a~knowledges that there was an error and they apologize for the problems that It has caused me but they fvel that I ought to be paying for Utelr problems. At that I was really upset oocause It appvared to me that thiS was malicious and punltiVed nature. III had paid the original bill there Is not a doubt In my mind tllat I would hm never roctmd this btllfor an additional $542. I thought about It for a couple of days. I got In the car and drove to Iowa. I ~nt to Linda Gentry's ollice. I talked to her socretary Who was extremely kind to me. Sve Indicated that Linda was the only attorney that was cumntly on stall and that she was taking a much deserved vacation In Wise. and told me When she would be back. So tllat I didn't want to wrltv a lettvr that was lust going to sit somepla~e. I waltOO until the return time and I wrote the letwr to Linda, dated nib [I 0/ - ,I i 'I ~ pag9 'l F~. 12, 1990, Youov~ got th~ Ivtt~r SQ you know What my thought was That this was en outrag~us Situation. And I again sugg~te<I that th~ City bk91egal action, That lotlor was daW tho 12th of F9b. TM 13th of Fob. It was markO<! rv<olvod and on tho samo dalo LInda wrolo a lottor to Y.~vln O'Malloy oxprosslng concern about tho situation and aSking that hO Investlgalo that I thon drovo back to Iowa on Friday tho 16th of Fob I c31lM L1nda's olttco from Om Womck's olllco down on Stmns Drlvo and askod if wo could got togethor for lunch, She didn't hav~ any tlmo for lunch but thoro was SQmo time aflor lunch. I camo back to Mr ottlce and again wont through tho situation, I roally wanW to got It rosolvod and I roally folt that UIO btll that I had recolvod was outragoous. In addition I havo plans to be loavlng tho country for an oxtendod porlod of tlmo and I wanW to got tho matlor takon mo of posSibly ootQre Ilolt I certainly didn't want to havo any 108.11 services against 100 willie I was out of the country and ~ judged by a dofault judgement I felt that Linda was very supportivo to me. I felt that I had an assurance that legal action was not going to be taken and I honesUy folt that When 110ft th& City Hall that day that the matter was a rosolvO<! Issuo. That I wasn't going to hoar anymore about Il In fac~ I didn't hear any mor& about It until a wook ago last Saturday When th& mailman showod up In my driv&way With a cortifled 19ttor. You got a copy of that, BaSically saying. wolI, wo m SQrry that wo have taken SQ long. In consideration. wo are going to knock 50~ oft the btll for the relu~ service as the result of our error. But wo are going to charge th&se to the property taxes to the house at 202 EI Dmnport Sl ThO City knew that I had SQld that house. I sold It on contract so tho tiUo hasn't ~en changed but It Is not my houso. Is that roally an ethical way to do busln&sS, To Involve an innocent third party In a dispute betwoon mysolf and tho city. I lived at th& same address, It Is very my to get a hOld of me. I have r&Spondod prompuy to mryone of the city's communications, As I said, this was Saturday. Monday afternoon, When I got back from cla~, I made a person to porson call to Linda's ottlce. It was Uod up. I left my numbVr. Sho callod me back. And I said wm you aware that this has takon placo. Yes she was I said that this had boon lJken care of and that I wasn't going to bV suod. She gave kind of a nervous chuckle and said that we aro not suing you, ThVn she said that she was the only attorney In the ottlce of the last five months and there had boon lots of turn over In personnel and there had bV&n othor problems and basically I gu&ss th& thing had just fallen in bVtwoen ~--- - -.......-. -,.-- - ~ -- D I b [I '1 ,I I "I ~ pag~ 5 the cracks and Why didn't I wrlOO anothllr Mtrir. I said Ulat I can't soo tho point In writing anoth~r letter. This lady. Diana Donahue, has Indicated to mo that the doclston has Imn made With What the city Is going to do. And Linda said that Diana Donahue can 00 oVrirruled, Why don't you wrl~ another lotter, I don't want to wrlt& anothor letoor. I want to get the thing r~lved. Linda says I don't fool you are Ust&nlng to me. I said that It was not a matt&r of that, I lust want to g~t the problem r~lved. I don't want to 'tITlte a letoor and then not know What is going on and have this thing pulled at this council mevting and then going on to another council mooting. So sho was kind enough then to get the genUeman on the phone was was carboned on this let~r, The finance director, Don something or other. Then I mnt through What I am basically saying to you With him over the phOM and tMy had agrvoo that th~y vrould look tnto the situation again. Before wo ended our conversation I satd I vrould 00 planning on att&ndlng the m~ting tonight unless I received someUllng In 'tITiting to the contrary from the city. Because I didn't want to take tho chanco on not oolng hero. TMy agreed that they vrould do thal On a Wednesday af~rnoon last woek Linda callod me back and Indicated that the situation had b&on roviewed again and the city's position remained the same. I said fine. She also suggested that at that point I wrl~ another lett&r. I said no that I vrould 00 planning to atl&nd the council meeting on the 16th. TMn a Friday af~rnoon I received the same packet that I assumed that you all received and thoro aro lust a couplo iooms In Mre Ulat I want to tako oxception to. On tho first page of the let~r It says you purchaeed the property locaOOd at 202 .2 and half E. Davenport Sl, Iowa City, Johnson County, Iowa In 1974. and obtained city utility services starting Aug. I, 1975. At that timo your sorvlco agreemont for wa~r /rofuse now solid wast& and sanitary sowor indicated a family dmlltng of numoor of units I. Sev attached oxhlbit A. That Is not truo. When I got tho property I called tho city just liko I called tho electric and gas company and said that I am the new property owner and send 1M the bills from now on and read the metvr. I have no Idea What happened in tho summer of 1975 but I suspect that there was an upgrade to the billing systvm of the city or they upgraded the data base or Wha~ver. But It had nothing to do With me. At no time did I mr make at any atoompt to misrepresent tho status of tho apt. unit there. And the service was not starOOd in Aug. 1975 but It remained continuous throughout the ~nure. Thor.: wero people living In the house the ~ntire timo. Then I ........- . (I . I b 0 e .\ , H PJg~ 6 want to go to item '16for a minute Th~ city on a coupl~ of occasions has Indicated that they In fact that th~y did mako tho mvr In billing for th~ S&rvlc~s to mys~ll. '16 says that Iltnd this billing method to correct ~rrors Immtnonuy lair, propYr and lawful. First tho orror was yours In listing your r~fuso unit as on~, not three. Second, for th~ sak~ of argument, ~v~n If th~ city ~rrored In th~ bllllng. th~ Iowa law provides for Ulat wMn UI~ city stall makes an mor, clUes m nor pr~vented from coming back and collecting Ule mor. Tho on~ memo that was In this pack~t Ulat I had not provlously received was a memo from Dlan~ Donahue back to Kevin O'Malley dated Feb. 14th. Bottom paragraph said: It Is not good buslOOss oporation for the City of Iowa City H.l.S to register a proporty as a triplex and w~ register and blll the refuse servlc~ charge appropriate to a slnglo family dwelling. Ho~ver. we are a non prom municipality and should attempt to collect tor the s~rvtces rendered. While I was director of patient accounts at University Hosp.ln Iowa City tor ~ight years and director of patient accounts at Mmy Hospital Medical Center In ~ Moines tor tour years and I think that buslooss ethic of a not tor prom corporation should bo Identical to buslnoss ethics for for profit corporations. Poople Who make misbkes should bo responsible tor them. As I mentioned in 000 of my letters, the bill say refuse. There is no way that I could have known that I was bolng mlsbllled tor those sorv!ces. No way at all. Then- Larson/ Mr. Quinn, you muld agroo that you received refuse collection tor a throo plex the entire time. You received the boootit of the service but you ~ro billed at tho Impropor rate. QUinn/ My servlco, my garbage was plckod up mry wook. I receivod the bill first mry throo months, then &Y&ry tm months. Those bills ~re paid by me In tull very time there wm received. Larson/I don't care Whose mistake It was, you got service tor a throo plex and you paid tor service for a one pl~X. How can you come now and ask not to bo roqulred to pay tor til~ s~rvlce you got. It doosn't mak~ any dlffer~nco whose mistake It Is in my book. Quinn/ Roally. You hm got some pooplo hm. If you mako a mlstako and bill 000 ot your customors erronoously. John McDonald bllled somebody for bifocals instead of trifocals and a month later ho has roallzod that Mr has boen thom erronoously. Would ho go back and collect the marginal chargo associated With the dlfforonce. Larson/ That would bo up to 111m just as 110ro it Is up to t!IO city. [t .\,' b 0 ~I ,\ , -14 page ~ ! i \ 1I0row/ (n this case Ul~ City IS dllll)r~nt in that If you don't pay for Ul~n the r~t of th~ W! paym haY~ to (\'y your shm Larson/ My underst.lndlng is that In addition you got 15 years worth of mvlc~ and we are only going back for flve YC3rS worth of servlc~ and then knocking hat! 011 of that. Quinn/I am not hm to argue. I am Mre to present my case WMn I am finiShed, you say QUinn pay your bill and I WIll walk up there and pay my bill. t1ov/1 have one more question before you lem, Did you live In Iowa City at the timo you own&<! this rilnlJl propilrly. Quinn/ All but tho last four yoars. Nov / So you wer~ then aware that your own homo coll~tion was the same as the thr~ apt. buildings. Quinn/ No mam. While ( was living In Iowa City, I was living In the apt. house. I continued to work In Iowa City but then I moved to Riverside and so that the last thr~ or four yms that I was working In Iowa City I was living In Riverside. The only city bllls that I got for refuse, wawr and s(ov.~r wm OMS that I r~eiv&<! at my propilrty. I guess as a mal~r of point. this lelwr also lJlks about this same Issue that was brought up by Mr. Larson and that is r&qulrlng other t.lx payers to pick up the t.lb on the othor two units. It was brought up In the the letwr. I got It hlghllgh~ and I want to comment on it. Now I was born In Iowa City In 1943 until I moved to Des Moines In 1965. The only timo that I was not living In Iowa City was tho flve yoars I spilnt In the Air Force during Ule Viet Nam war. My mother was born on a farm north of Iowa City and my father was born thm and his fathor was born thm and my great great grandfather Immlgra~ to that and bought that farm from Germany. SO we have flve gonerations Mre. This isn't a matter of mo trying to gel the lJx payers. I am a lax payor that f~ls that I have a grlmnce and somo how I foel In this Whole process that When I have a prowst WIth Ule city Ulat I am no longer a lJx payer and a citizon. What I am Is an adversary. In the r~ent past I 11m paid tams and have had propvrty In Win~rset, West Dos Molnos and Rlvorslde. I hm not s~n that kind of attitude. Obviously I have a ves~ Inwrest that I am reprosenting but I am concern&<! that this last letter that I have r~olved Is some What of an attack on mo. I view mysot! as bolng someWhat the victim In all that. I didn't make a mistake In billing me for services, Thore was no way I could know from that bill that I was bllled for services. I am convinced that If I would have paid that flnal utility blll that was six [t " b [I LI 'I ~ pag~ 7 tim~s Ulan any I hav~ r~~lwd ~forlt Ulat Ulls audit pr<<ess would hav~ nmr IA1k&n ploc& ond I would hm nmr Wtn billed tor this, Kubby /1 don't think It was an In~nUonal goWng back at you, I think It was us looking at the Issuo to mak~ SUI" that 'v."" gavv Yilu all U1C' du(o pr<<ess that was posSible under our system, In doing so w~ tound thiS error and so I don't Ullnk It was an In~nUonal sanction or retribution on our pm I Ullnk It was us providing due pr.xm and lOOking at UIO Issue more d%ply and ttnding anoUl~r stone Ulat had not ~n unturn~ and It wasn't In your favor. Larson/I didn't moan do Intmupt you. I lust wan~ to tlnd out Whore the arm of dlsagrwmont ~ro... Quinn/In my eX)Xlrlence Which ~ro considerable In billing. WMn the provider ot services made a mlslA1ke, ~ would havo never tollow~ Ulrough WlUl burdening them WIth Ulat mlsl.1ko, lIowobvlously I never came In touch WIth a zillion dollar mlsl.1ke, It was kind ot In~resUng to me to hm this business WIth Ule Holiday Inn Where there Is $2 million Involv~ and WIth lust kind ot a shrug. That somehow I am trying to rip off tho l.1x paym ot Iowa City tor $271. Kubby /1 wouldn't say It was just a shrug. I would l.1ke very much Issue WIth that That wo hm dOM mrythlng that we can to try to reclaim Ulat There Is not a possibility and hm thoro Is law that allows us to do this.

" I [t b [I 5 , 14 pag~ 6 again expr&Ss concern at the way the m~thod that the city has uwd to try and r&solve this thing, To blllthe5<' things as a lien on the taxes 01 a complellily Innocent party. Y.ubby I Can ~ get som~ c1arlfiC3Uon on that part "somllOM Is buying the house on contract III o~ utillti&s and I no longer own the pro~rty, It Is Iree and clear In somebody else's nam~ How do w~ go about cOllecting UUlIti&slrom m~ on that same pro~rty. Gentry Ilf ~ know your hddr&ss, ~ go alter you. II ~ don't, Il Wi can't find you ~ can put a lien on the eXisting pro~rty. The ~rvtces are rocelv.:d at the pro~rty. With res~t to the legal tiUe holder, Mr. Quinn remains the 19&al tiUe hold~r. The Swishers m the conlractor equlbble tiUe holders. The pro~rty divisions are spilt into the bundles of sticks. We can go against both of them and it is really a matter of private contract rights and real &State rights between th~ two parties to fight that out Our position Is In terms of the real estate, Wi go against the real estate. Larson/l would agree with Mr. Quinn that he Is not hert) to argut). Ilblnk he has presented the matter very ~II. I lust disagree with him on two things. I find the city staff acted pro~rly In all res~ts and I feel that clearly there was excessive water use and they ~ntlbe extra mile to make sure that that was by leaking and not caused by a wrong meter reading. Going out there and reading the meter on four different occasions and Checking It, The past history of the wa~r bills and the history since that time IndicaWs that the water meter reading was entirely accurate. To only charge for half of five yem worUI wilen he got 15 years 01 Mrvlce Is ImmlnenUy fair. It d*sn't matter to me whose fault It was. I don't s* any rellof that would bo oqultable for us to give. That Is lust my view. I don't mean to ~rsuade poople. My single view on It. Hovl My view Is fairly similar. I firmly bellm In compromise. And II city staff had not already said cut the bill In half, that would have been my compromise. Ambr I You represented a very fine case. I am In busln&ss also. I must say that on occasion that some of my staff and yours truly havo made an error In billing and I guess the answer Is Is that It always de~nds on how It came about I admire your tenacity and your veraclousn&Ss. You hm done nothing more than just protect your good cr.:dlt rating. I think I would hm dOn& the same thing. I also agr(oO with my colleagues Ulat I Ullnk a compromise has already OOen hammer.:d out. ---- - -- - ,...... -~~ - --.... ,\ I [1-' b [I b " I · 14 pag~ 9 So I would suggest to you that you pay tht' amount that WJS blllt'd to you ~aus~ I do ooll~v~ you hm ~n gtvo,>n 4 bro,>ak on this QUlnnl Who do I pay.
