He pointed out that through employee attrition, the city will see savings.<\/p>\n

An audience member\u00a0Keith Koble\u00a0suggested use of the automated meters should be a free choice of the consumer.<\/p>\n

Also from the audience, Bob Drake said some individuals are sensitive to the RF radiation from the meters, pointing out liability issues, adding that some states the automated meters are not mandatory. He agreed that the consumer should be able to opt-out of the plan.<\/p>\n

Mayor Werkhoven said there are some issues that need to be “ironed out,” before making a decision, and the city needs an operational plan.<\/p>\n

The motion to approve was passed on a 4-1 vote with Mayor Werkhoven voting against.<\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – U.S. Sen. John Hoeven says the Internal Revenue Service has agreed to extend the deadline for filing tax returns in North Dakota, and waive penalties for late returns.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Midnight Monday is the deadline to file. But residents across the state are digging out from a record-breaking snowstorm.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The IRS says people who can’t meet the deadline due to the storm still must file “within a reasonable time,” after transportation problems and power outages have been resolved.<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The National Weather Service says 17.3 inches of snow fell in Bismarck – the snowiest day in city history. The snowfall broke city records for April 14, for any day in April and for any day of the year, and pushed the snowfall total for the month to more than 21 inches – also a record.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The previous high mark for a one-day snowfall in Bismarck was 15.5 inches, set on March 3, 1966.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Meteorologist Bill Abeling says the snow even prevented about half a dozen weather service employees from making it to work Monday.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hardware store owner Jeff Hinz says the storm marked a first for his business – he sold a snowblower in April.<\/p>\n

HUDSON, Wis. (AP) – A psychiatrist who evaluated a man accused of killing his three daughters testified the father was mentally aware of his criminal actions.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Dr. Erik Knudson testified Monday as the sanity trial for Aaron Schaffhausen entered its third week in St. Croix (KROY) County Circuit Court. Knudson, testifying for the prosecution, said that after Schaffhausen killed the girls, he drove around aimlessly, discarding items from his car that could possibly connect him to the crime. KSTP-TV reports the psychiatrist says Schaffhausen’s action shows he was “capable of conforming his conduct.”
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Aaron Schaffhausen has pleaded guilty to three counts of first-degree intentional homicide, but he maintains he’s not responsible for killing 11-year-old Amara, 8-year-old Sophie, and 5-year-old Cecilia because of a mental illness. Jurors will determine his sanity.
\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – A 19-year-old man accused of ramming his vehicle into a Williston business has been arrested after he attempted to report the car had been stolen.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Williston Police Detective David Peterson says Calum Kinstler allegedly rammed his vehicle repeatedly into the glass entry doors at MonDak Motorsports Thursday night. Officers pursued the vehicle until Kinstler abandoned it and fled on foot.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Peterson says officers seized the station wagon, but Kinstler was arrested the next day when he came into the law enforcement center to report the vehicle stolen.
\n\u00a0
\nKinstler faces charges of attempted burglary, criminal mischief, fleeing or attempting to elude police, making false reports to law enforcement officers, and carrying a concealed or dangerous weapon in a vehicle.

KAUFMAN, Texas (AP) – A law enforcement official says Texas authorities investigating the killings of a district attorney and his wife are building a case against a former justice of the peace who was prosecuted last year for theft. The official says investigators are focused on 46-year-old Eric Williams, who’s jailed on a charge of making a terroristic threat. The investigators are looking into the deaths of Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McLelland and his wife. The official says at least 20 weapons found in Williams’ storage locker are being tested.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WASHINGTON (AP) – It’s a case that could have a huge impact on U.S. medical research, and the fight against diseases like breast and ovarian cancer. The Supreme Court has heard arguments over whether companies can be given patents for genes that can be found inside the human body. Those patents have been given for almost 30 years. But opponents of a Utah company’s patents on two genes linked to increased risks of cancer say patents shouldn’t be issued for something that can be found inside the body. Several justices were concerned, however, that companies would abandon the research if they couldn’t be assured it would be profitable.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WASHINGTON (AP) – Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel is canceling the creation of a new military medal for drone and cyber warriors, and instead wants military leaders to develop a special pin or device that would be attached to already existing medals or ribbons. The Distinguished Warfare Medal was created by Hagel’s predecessor, Leon Panetta, and it immediately triggered bitter complaints from veterans and lawmakers who said it should not be ranked higher than traditional combat medals such as the Purple Heart and Bronze Star.
\n\u00a0
