TAP FEE INCREASE cont'd RESOLUTIONS #15 & 16 increase as proposed. Councilman Domenico stated that he was in favor of an increase, but not as it is now stated. Mr. Conarroe stated that the water revenue is an important source of income for small Cities and he felt what he pays for the water is a small fee for the services he receives. Mr. Wurl stated that if the mill levy was what it should be to balance the City and its expenses people could not afford to purchase a home, therefore the revenue must be sought elsewhere. Councilman DelPizzo stated that he did not go along with the high increase. He felt that if there was an increase needed, it should be around the same percentage as the building supplies etc. Councilman DelPizzo stated that if the City ~~anted to kill growth he could see no reason for a water storage plant. Mayor Waschak stated that he did not feel the City was trying to kill growth and the developers should be dealt with so we can continue the developments. ~1r. Wurl stated that the $200.00 sewer tap increase could be deferred until the end of the year. There is about a $20,000.00 fee for the engineering to begin the plans for the next phase on the sewer plant which should go on line by June 1976. He stated that the staff was putting this in the 1975 budget to begin building. If this was not done early the developers would be upset because of the lack of facilities.
