Present were the following: Mayor: John C. Porter Councilmen: Nile Boyle Glen Pond Bruce Sutherland Bruce Casper Councilwoman: Darlene Blackburn Also Present: Mary Smith, City Attorney Rose Bagley, City Clerk Richard Horner, Treasurer A motion was made by Nile Boyle and seconded by Bruce Sutherland to approve the minutes. All Aye. RE: WATER RATE INCREASE Richard Horner explained the water rate increase, he gave a handout to each councilman. (copy attached) We need to raise it to cover $30,000 that we are going to be in the hole, and we talked about raising it $1.00 for each user. The mayor went over it and thought it would put too much burden on the small user. So they had changed it so it would be 50-50, change the minimum rate from $5.00 to $5.50 and change the overage rate from 25~ per 1000 to 272¢. The mayor said his thinking is that we have probably 500 or 600 Senior Citizens and widows living on a low fixed income. This way it would be a $6.00 increase for the base rate for the year, and the rest of the money would be brought in by the overage. RE: RESOLUTION FOR WATER RATE INCREASE A motion was made by Nile Boyle to adopt a resolution to adopt plan to increase the water rates increasing the base rate from $5.00 to $5.50 and increasing the overage rate from 25~ to 272.
