Reduce Initial Capital Funding Requirements to Minimize Rate Increases. Mr. Mar stated the Board favored Alternate 3 as the most desirable, however, by State law the rates cannot be increased before 1975. Councilman Herlihy asked if there was a mechanism by which the rates could be lowered later for those who have paid the longest. Mayor Pearson stated that the representation of the Bond Issue as passed is very clear that funding of the project would come from connection fees, not in- creased water rates, and suggested this matter go to vote again. Mr. Mar stated that the Zone 7 Board would have a Special Meeting on August 8th to study the finance program, and suggested representatives of the Pleasanton City Council be in attendance to discuss this matter. Mayor Pearson requested that the staff prepare a report regarding the effect of Zone 7's financing projections on Pleasanton, and what it would do to the sewer system, to be discussed at the meeting of August 6th.
