Hi---I am submitting the following regarding the agenda item on standby charges. Please copy this to the
manager and the board.
The subject of standby charges has come up in the past with the board being most favorable. 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 revenue for the PUD. I imagine that if I had a property in
the district that didn't have infrastructure 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 usary to me.
I wish I were able to attend the meeting. However, unfortunately, I teach a class at the same time as the pud
meetings.
Please take my points to heart. I am open to being convinced of the logic and morality of this fee.
Respectfully, Rolf Godon
