Hundley further explained that this proposed increase will do three things: 1) provide for a contingency fund; 2) provide some monies to begin repairing existing mains; and 3) begin funding a depreciation fund. Szymanski wanted to make clear to the residents that this proposed water rate increase will net the City a 10$ increase. Customers will not necessarily see a 10$ increase in their water bills -- they will actually see up to a 22~ increase depending on volume of water used. Carnival explained that this is the beginning of what Council and staff intend to look at "over the next couple of years to assess exactly where we need to be." Mayor Fauson closed the public hearing and asked for a motion. Sackett moved that Ordinance #914 be adopted as amended on final reading. Szymanski seconded. Szymanski referred Council to Section 13.08060 for discussion and possible amendment. Szymanski asked that the language be changed to reflect the Mayor's ability in a water crisis to restrict certain non-domestic water uses such as washing cars, filling swimming pools, etc. Szymanski moved that the change read, "for non-domestic purposes" and delete "for irrigation or sprinkling purposes. Anderson seconded the amendment. Unanimous. By roll call vote, Ordinance #914 was adopted as amended unanimously. Phare noted that this change will affect water consumption beginning in January, 1987, and will be reflected on bills received in February. ORDINANCE #920 - HEALTH PARK ZONING - 1ST READING (Councilmen John Sackett and Steve Anderson asked to be excused for this Agenda Item.) Rautenstraus read by title only Ordinance No. 920, "An Ordinance amending Title 17 of the Louisville Municipal Code entitled "Zoning" by zoning property of approximately 73.33 acres owned by Harold W. Spicer." Permission is being sought to place the ordinance out for publication and a public hearing be set for November 25, 1986. 3
