There were no comments from the audience. One written comment was received from Rolf Godon: I am submitting the following regarding the agenda item on standby charges. Please co this to the manager and the board. copy 1 Minutes: June 2, 2010 The subject of standby charges has come up in the past with the board being most favora- ble. These types of charges appear to be legal. However, I fail to understand the rationale of being charged for NO SERVICES. Thus, to me, it feels like a backhanded way of adding rev- enue for the PUD. I imagine that if I had a property in the district that didn't have infrastruc- ture to it, I would still be charged a standby fee???? If I decided to go "off the grid" with both water and electric, I imagine I would still be charged a standby fee. In the end, it has always felt and continues to feel usury to me. Please take my points to heart. I am open to being convinced of the logic and morality of this fee. The public hearing was closed. At 6:00 PM or soon thereafter as possible, a public hearing will be held for receiving written and/or oral comments from members of the public regarding: AMENDING THE MISCELLANEOUS FEES SCHEDULE President Bender opened the Public Hearing and asked for public input.
