In conclusion he stated he <br /> supported the increase, but did not support <br /> the rate structure recoc *snded by staff <br /> and Council. <br /> Mayor Meier Replied to the rate structure concern - <br /> advised ft was not recommended by City <br /> Staff was � <br /> to beneflitb . s reason <br /> theperon who <br /> was trying to conserve water. <br /> Administrator Wurl Advised when the proposal was being ini- <br /> tiated staff had provided Council with <br /> 5 alternatives and the flier that was <br /> supplied was a result of several study <br /> sessions considered best. Stated it was <br /> difficult to comment because he did not <br /> have the original alternatives with him. <br /> The basis however for the entire structure <br /> was to provide sufficient funds to meet the <br /> operation and maintenance costs of the <br /> water system. Wurl invited Mr. Yekel to <br /> meet with him to review all the proposals_ <br /> He further explained basically in the last <br /> 5 year period the revenues did not cover <br /> the expenditures for either the water or <br /> sewer departments. The approximate deficit <br /> figure for 1981 was $150,000.00. Referring <br /> to the rate structure - in the final analysis <br /> the residents pay for the water and sewer <br /> systax and this structure will provide the <br /> needed revenue. Wurl also stated this rate <br /> structure would substantially increase the <br /> commercial and industrial users. <br /> Ray Woodbury Commented he too had problems with the <br /> 2157 Centennial Drive flier as it was not particularly informative <br /> in his estimation. He as also concerned <br /> with the $126,000.00 to improve a fa-ility <br /> that was built in 1934. He asked if there <br /> wasn't something prior to this time where <br /> funds were needed. He had no problem with <br /> the improvement of the Eldorado Springs <br /> diversion facility amounting to $50,000.00. <br /> Then stated the increase for water was $2.50, <br /> for water bond increase $2 . 15 for a total <br /> of $4.65 multiplied by the number of residents <br /> in the City of Louiiville - approximately <br /> 5,000 homes which amounts to $23,250.00 per <br /> month, multiply this by 12 and it equals <br /> $279,000. 00 per year.
