<br />5/18/82 <br /> <br />Page -13- <br /> <br />his understanding that 2/3rds of this <br />goal had been reached. <br /> <br />Tony DelPizzo <br /> <br />Protested the scale of gallonage over the <br />minimum of 10,000 - stating he felt this <br />increase was equivalent to larger cities. <br /> <br />Administrator Wurl <br /> <br />Advised the first proposal submitted to <br />the former Council the increase was $12.00 <br />per month and this was discussed at a <br />budget study session on how this could <br />be accomplished. He further advised this <br />proposal was not to show a profit for the <br />City; but only to match revenues with ex- <br />penditures. <br /> <br />Mr. Henry Yekel <br /> <br />Stated he would like bottom line figures, <br />including all income from tap fees for <br />water and sewer. He noted the bond issue <br />on the agenda and commented this indebted- <br />ness is to retire capital improvements to <br />both systems - again requested all income <br />and all expenditures total deparments. <br /> <br />'T'l)m Akins <br />,J Matchless St. <br /> <br />Commented he did not doubt the increase <br />was justified and did appreciate receiving <br />the flier; however felt there was information <br />lacking. He commented he noted his water <br />bill was computer printed therefore the <br />City must have a record of everyone's usage. <br />It was his opinion a buy and sell study could <br />be taken and this rate increase should be <br />applied to it, for projected income. and <br />expenditures. Both these types of informa- <br />tion do not appear on the flier. He felt <br />any new rate schedule should be applied <br />against any new data base the City has in <br />the computer and project what the income <br />will be. <br /> <br />Council Comments <br />Councilman Cummings <br /> <br />Commented to try to answer some of the <br />concerns regarding Mr. Woodbury's inquiry <br />of why we are paying for a plant that was <br />built in 1934 is possibly the total answer <br />to the increase. This problem has not been <br />addressed - it was his feeling it would be <br />foolish to think the old rates would suffice. <br />Previously.when the increase was proposed to <br />former councilmembers it was known this <br />type input would be had - it was ignored. <br />Finally if Council does not do something <br />the service will dry up, so do we make the <br />decision now or let our children do it. <br />
