From: Peter Holzmeister
Date: December 16, 2003
Subject: Adoption of an ordinance increasing water and electric rates
and connection charges
Why this matter is before the board: This matter involves adoption of an
ordinance increasing water and electric monthly rates and connection charges.
Only the board can adopt an ordinance.
History: A draft budget for 2004 has been prepared by staff and reviewed by the
board. At this point in the meeting, I am assuming that the board has adopted a
budget for 2004. The board will have conducted a public hearing regarding the
suggestion that rates and connection charges be increased.
New information: Attached is a draft ordinance that increases electric and water
monthly rates and connection charges by 5%. The matter will have been
discussed in some detail at the public hearing, so I do not plan to repeat the
presentation at this point in the meeting. However, I will be happy to answer
questions as best I can.
Recommendation: I recommend that the board adopt the ordinance increasing
water and electric rates and connection charges.
