ADJOURNMENT
7:40 P.M.
Councilman Saul questioned the water rate study done by Horton
Dennis Associates. We paid good money for a study that really
doesn't tell us what we need to know.
35/3
Councilman Hill said that, during the last rate increase, Council
tried to maintain a base rate that would not penalize the elderly
and fixed income families. We made a sizeable investment in
the water rate study and thought we wouldn't have to raise the
rates any higher until 1984. Councilman Bohrer agreed and also
wondered why the projections hadn't lasted longer. Mr. Doerschel
said he would be back to Council with an updated report.
