Consider an ordinance revising the Utility Rates. (Second Reading) STAFF RESOURCE PERSON: David Kautz STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends increasing the Water and Wastewater Service fees as indicated on the attached schedule. The new rates, effective with the October billing, would mean an increase of 9% to the average residential bill. Other types of services (larger meter sizes) would be affected to a lesser degree if water consumption is commensurate with meter size. The justification for this rate increase is provided in the City's recently completed rate study and the 1989-90 operating budget. ECONOMIC IMPACT: For fiscal 1989-90 Utility Fund expenditures will exceed revenues by approximately $1,000,000 with no rate increase. This proposed rate increase would produce approximately $400,000.
