ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR MARCH 8, 1999 • MAYOR AND COUNCIL REPORT - Continued Flint said the City should enforce the rules when there are complaints from citizens. Moorse said the staff does respond to complaints. He said the City does not have a housing ordinance that requires residents to keep houses from becoming dilapidated. Jabbour said that if someone is actually working on cars in a professional manner, it would fall under the home occupation ordinance and would be regulated. Sansevere said he received a call from Dave Peterson who would like the City to look into metering private wells. Peterson feels his mother's sewer bill is too high for a single, elderly person.

He commented that there is no special rate for a senior citizen. Mayor asked if the sump pump inspections are being done. • Moorse said inspections have been done in some areas of the City and very few violations were found. is Jabbour said that members of the Metropolitan Council are up for reappointment.
