It was noted that Edison Company will be raising their rates 18% in January. District Ordinance 325 authorizes the District to make energy adjustments in the rates automatically. This would raise the water rate 3.4C HCF. A discussion was held regarding the water rate adjustment relative to the ENR indexing of consumption charge. A comparative analysis of water and sewer rates with six other entities was presented for review. A cash flow projection was presented with a projected rate increase as well as other factors worked into the estimated gross revenues. Asst. Gen. Mgr. Rowe stated there can be some flexibility in the energy budget and it will be worked on; that in worst case at the end of fiscal year 83 -84 the District could refinance. There will be curtailment of any new activity. The selection of projects and money being spent will be considered very carefully. It was felt a proposal for increasing the fee schedule could be presented at the December 27th Board Meeting. The Assistant General Manager recommended: (1) that the monthly water consumption charge be increased 4.844 HCF: (2) the monthly standby charge be adjusted by about 8 %; (3) that the sewer rates for residential customers be increased .50C and commercial establishments .80(� per unit, per month: (4) that a citizen's committee be formed for the purpose of reviewing rates and operations for running a water utility. It was also indicated that a resolution would be prepared reflecting all proposed revisions in the water rates and meter charges, off site charges. There would be one enabling act for all water rates, if the proposed charges were adopted. In the event sewer charges are increased, this procedure will have to be accomplished by ordinance, which requires a first reading, publication, hearing and final adoption of the ordinance, which would take about 60 days.
