DATE: November 10, 1998
RE: Ordinance No. 98- 34 : Reinstatement of Water Rates in Effect on January
1, 1998
Pursuant to your direction, attached hereto is a proposed Ordinance which would
amend the monthly charges for water services so as to reinstate, as of January 1, 1999, the
water rates in effect prior to January 1, 1998. The proposed Ordinance will take effect on
January 1, 1999 and will apply to all bills issued after that date without regard to the date of
the meter reading.
I have advised Grace Dunlap, the City's Bond Counsel, regarding the proposed
Ordinance. Her preliminary review indicates that there are no bond covenants adversely
affected by the proposed Ordinance. We will have a final report from her prior to the public
hearing.
This proposed Ordinance is being placed on the Agenda for first reading on November
17 and for the second reading and public hearing on December 1, 1998.
