Mayor Dunne stated that the water rates were increased to pay for the water improvement bonds which were approved in 1968. Several people have asked why the rates were increased when the' bonds, which were approved in-November, had 'not been sold as yet. The reason for this is to show that the City ca'n generate revenue to meet principal .and interest in order to obtain a good price.on 'the - bonds. TheaMayor discussed the report submitted by the Acting Director of Finance and noted it appeared the rates for 5/8 and 3/4 meters-were in excess of the rates for- other size meters. He suggested that the rates be reduced on these meters in order to reflect a flat 30% increase on all meter charges, and home owners who have 3/4" or 5/8" meters be credited with the amount paid over the 30%. The Mayor also suggested the water billing date be changed so no one would be delinquent for the previous months billing until the 10th of the month. By proper motion it was agreed that Ordinance #4010 be -amended to reflect oniy a 30% increase on any size meter (or to the nea,rest ev.en 56) and the home owner Motiom credited for the difference they have paid. Ayes Chief Anear commented that another inequity was the ready-to-serve charge for sprinkler systems. He suggested-that no charge be- made for installation of the meter and that the owner only be charged for the water used. This would encourage more firms to ' install sprinkler systems.
