<br />MATTERS CONTINUED FOR DECISION
<br />Further Report~ Re: Sewer SerVice Charge Increase
<br /> Mr~ Campbell presented the staff report, dated October 2, 1974, regarding this
<br />matter.
<br />
<br /> Mr. Robert Reid, 4525 Miradot Drive, stated he was opposed to an increase in
<br />the sewer service charge and would pay under protest if the the funds are to be
<br />spent on a plant that will never meet State standardS. He further stated he
<br />felt the City should bring action against the State Water Quality Control Board
<br />to get the matter settled.
<br />
<br /> Councilman Philcox suggested this matter be continued until a later date for
<br />a more complete study in view of the $1.00 increase earlier this year in the
<br />sewer service charge, and the more recent increase in the sewer connection fee.
<br />
<br /> Councilman Herlihy concurred with Councilman Philcox, and added that since
<br />the report of October 2, 1974, is based on assumptions, more information is needed
<br />in order to determine the direction that should be taken regarding the sewage
<br />treatment problem.
<br />
<br /> Mayor Mori stated that although no one likes to increase fees, funds are
<br />necessary for maintenance and operation, and depreciation, and funds also need
<br />to be available when replacement time comes. He added that an increase is
<br />required to cover present costs of maintenance and operation and amortization
<br />if we are to provide services to th~ citizens of the City.
<br />
<br /> Councilwoman LeClaire stated that no one objects to spending money on the
<br />Plant more than the City Council, however, there is a responsibility to th@
<br />people who live here and to let the Plant deteriorate any more is irresponsible
<br />and not in the best interests of the City.
<br />
<br /> It was moved by Councilman Philcox, and seconded by Councilwoman LeClaire,
<br />to continue this item to the meeting of November 11, 1974.
<br />The roll call vote was as follows:
<br />AYES: Counciima~ Herlihy, Councilwoman LeClaire, Councilman Philcox, and
<br /> Mayor Mori
<br />NOES: None
<br />ABSENT: Councilman Kinney
