UtilityPublic District
Memorandum
To: Board of Directors
From: Peter Holzmeister
Date: December 28, 2001
Subject: Three public hearings
Three public hearings are scheduled for Wednesday evening.
1. Public hearing on the budget for 2002: 1 have enclosed another copy of the draft
budget, in case you may not be able to easily locate the earlier one.
2. Public hearing on the possible electric rate increase: Attached is an analysis
prepared by Steve Hollabaugh describing the two options, on an increase of 0.5 cents
per kilowatt-hour and the other an increase of 0.7 cents per kilowatt-hour. The analysis
compares these options to the current rates. The actual ordinance language is in the
packet under Agenda Item #8.
3. Public hearing on the possible increase in the pumping zone component of the
water rate schedule: The basic water rate is sufficient to fund the budget. However,
with the significant wholesale power cost increases we have experienced and the impact
of that on our retail rates, I am suggesting that we increase the pumping zone
component of the water rate by an average of$1.61 per month. The residential pumping
zone rate increase varies from $.53 per month in zone 1 to $4.13 per month in zone 11.
At the conclusion of the three hearings you will be able to adopt the budget resolution
and the two rate ordinances.
