Metering Report
As instructed by Ward Fischer during the April 18, 1980 Water Board Meeting,
preliminary outlines by the appointed cammu ttees were handed out at this meeting.
Ray Anderson presented his outline on Eooncmmics. Discussion was held. Bernie Cain
submitted his outline on Quality of Life. Norm Evans gave insights into engineer-
ing policies; however, at this time his comments regarding Engineering, Basin Effects
and Future Projects have not been completed. He reported that he is not ready to
make recommendations at this time, and that further evaluation and study would be
necessary. Norm Evans prefers meeting again to discuss further issues before going
to Council with recommendations. Therefore, Ward Fischer directed the Board that
a further meeting will be held on the 18th of July (Regular Meeting) during which
meeting an hour will be set aside for developing final recommendations. The meet-
ing will commence at 3:00 PM.
Meanwhile, R.E.Krempel will try to set up a time with City Council; tentative dates
suggested were September 30 and October 14, during daytime work sessions of the
Council.
Mike Smith gave a detailed explanation of the proposed 1981 Budget. Discussion
was held.
The Water Board is to make recommendations to Council regarding projected Water
Rate Adjustment over the next five years, after discussing this item with Finance
Director, Ron Wood. It is tentatively, but unanimously agreed by the Board to
adopt the "Solvent Position". Likewise, adopting "Solvent Position" for sewer
is recommended. Ward Fischer will communicate this to Council.
