Subject: Consideration of Scheduling a Public Hearing Related to Adoption
of the Annual Water and Electric Standby Charges
1. WHY THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE BOARD
This matter involves scheduling a public hearing related to adoption of water and
electric standby charges for the 2012-2013 tax year. This requires Board action.
PA:I6"1101:vi
The purpose of the standby charge is to collect revenues annually to help pay
operating and maintenance expenses. The reason for these charges is that vacant
lots benefit by being in close proximity to water and electric lines, and should,
therefore, contribute to maintenance of those lines. Standby rates have not been
changed in many years, and there are no proposed changes at this time.
