During the Clerk’s Report portion of the April 7 Casey City Council meeting, City Clerk Gwen Blass updated the council regarding two disputed utility billing accounts.
“Last month, we had a gentleman that came into our office and stated that he was Dave Kuster’s attorney, and that they were going to sue the city for all the utility bills that Dave Kuster has, and that he also represented Lucas Jensen, and that he’s also getting utility bills for a property that he doesn’t own anymore,” Blass said. “I explained to him that Lucas Jensen’s bill is a past due bill from when he lived there, and that the utility bills on Dave Kuster are sewer line bills, sewer charges for properties that he never shut off the sewer line for.”
Blass reported that the same gentleman came back to the office later and said Kuster would not be suing the city.
Blass also reported that the city has a CD valued at $26,425 that has matured. She suggested renewing it into another CD, and the council voted to do so.
Public Works Director Jon Welker reported on repairs and changes needed on certain areas of the city’s water lines. The council approved the repairs and costs as proposed.
Discussion was held regarding the recent storm spotter training in Casey. Approximately 100 trainees attended, and it reportedly went smoothly.
As part of the consent agenda, the council approved a liquor license renewal for Pioneer Pub and Grub.
The next regular meeting of the council will be May 5. The public is welcome.
