To: Board of Directors
From: Peter Holzmeister
Date: May 14, 2004
Date of Board Meeting: May 19, 2004
Subject: Commercial water rate
1. WHY THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE BOARD: This is a matter that was discussed
at the last workshop meeting. The board asked that I bring this matter back to this
meeting.
2. HISTORY: Attached is a memorandum from the last meeting that describes the
history of this issue. At the May 19 meeting we will conduct a public hearing and then
consider adopting a new commercial metered water rate.
3, NEW INFORMATION: Attached is a draft ordinance that would, if adopted, repeal the
metered rate adopted in December of 2003 and adopt a new, interim water rate. I have
spoken with Black and Veatch and with R.W. Beck regarding preparation of a water rate
study. I expect to have their proposals soon and will bring them to the board for
discussion and action.
4. RECOMMENDATION: At the conclusion of the public hearing I recommend that the
board adopt the ordinance setting amended commercial metered water rates.
