SECO.ND READING AND PUBLIC HEARING FOR QRDINANCE NO. 72-94/
DATE: OCTOBER 14, 1994
This is second reading and public hearing for Ordinance No. 72-94
which amends Section 53.130, "User Charges; Wholesale Sewer Rates;
Calculation of Sewer Surcharge", of the City's Code to provide for
an increase in the commodity charge for sewer service.
On October 4, 1994, two options were presented for increases to the
sewer rates. One proposed a three percent (3%) across the board
rate increase affecting customer, capacity and commodity charges.
The second option proposed a five percent (5%) increase on the
commodity charge only. Based on staff's recommendation, it was the
consensus of the Commission to proceed with the 5% commodity charge
proposal since that rate increase would minimize the impact to the
low volume user. Ordinance No. 72-94 reflecting the 5% commodity
charge increase was passed on first reading by a 4 to 0 vote.
Recommend approval of Ordinance No. 72-94 on second and final
reading.
