It pobably will be next budget year before the two units would be nec-essary, however in anticipation of this shou ld the Cornmission endorsethe concept you should also authorize the advertising for a vehicleto install the emergency equipment in at such time as needed.

Request Commissionapproval of these deparfmental rules. 3 4 5 We have a serious problem of reading meters at approximately slxtylocations in the City due to fences and dogs. lt was not bad as long as gates were un locked and left opened, however in so many insfancesthe $afes are locked and the dogs are loose in the yard. This makesis necessary to send a meter reader back again and again until wefind the owners home. Our ordinance 576 provides thit no meter may be enclosed by a fence, ye+ these fence problems are lnherited from years ago in many instances. Solution of the problem could be one of the following and I requestfhe Commission fo set a policy for guidance in this matter:l. For a single family home, a minimum of $20. per month for waterand sewer could be established. Then no reading would be necessaryexcept possibly once a year, where no sewer lnvllved a monfhly mlnimumcharge shou ld be $15.2, A $5. charge for having a meter reader make an additional frip toread the meter after \',orking hours, generally when fhe owners are home.3. lf the person who has the fence and dog does not wanl to pay theabove charges fhen his alternate would be to make a jog in the ienceto mak6 the meter available for reading. f.+.--- I 6 Request authorization to advertlse for bids for labor and maferial for various streets and alleyts paving and resurfacing.

We are experiencing more and more problems from Vandalism and the dis- carding of lrash at the boat parking area, Houston Park. We have foundthat there is an extensive use of vrater by fhe boaters in washing their boats, but worse than this they fend fo leave the wafer running when theyleave. Approximafely 80S of the users of this facility are from out oftown.
