Mayor Biard read the proposed noise ordinance for the second reading. The council <br /> discussed a couple of wording changes and asked to put it on the third reading at the next <br /> meeting. <br /> MAYOR'S ANNOUNCEMENTS <br /> The Mayor said that he wrote letters to the resident and business owner that are <br /> delinquent on their garbage fees. The council discussed these at the last meeting. He said he <br /> didn't get a response from the business. The resident has hired legal council and the Mayor and <br /> City Attorney met with the lawyer today. He said that a compromise could possibly be made for <br /> the resident. The council said that they were not interested in setting a precedent with a <br /> compromise and at the last meeting they moved for both cases be placed in small claims court <br /> and let the Judge decide. The Mayor told the City Attorney he could pick up the files tomorrow <br /> and file the claims. <br /> Mayor Biard said he talked to the legal council for Cox Communications and said they <br /> want the council to rescind the last ordinance that increased the franchise fee to 3%. The Mayor <br /> said they indicated that they want to be a good corporate citizen and that possibly a compromise <br /> could be reached. The council instructed City Attorney Scott Stalker to contact the attorney for <br /> Cox to see exactly what their intensions were. <br /> There being no further business, Councilmember Gaither moved that the meeting be <br /> adjourned. Councilmember Watkins seconded and all voted for. <br /> JOE M. BIARD, MAYOR <br /> DENISE M. JOHNSTON, CITY CLERK <br />
