Ayes: Councilmembers Cook-Kallio, McGovern, Sullivan, Thorne, Mayor Hosterman Noes: None Absent: None Regarding a date for a meeting to discuss Item 17a, City Manager Fialho said that from June 19 into August, one Councilmember on any given regular meeting would be out of town and gave the following possible dates as July 8, July 22 and July 29. Mayor Hosterman questioned timing issues for the ballot if the matter were continued. City Attorney Roush said if the item were continued to July 15 and Council gave direction to staff to bring back a proposed Council-sponsored Initiative, the Council would need to determine a date to hear the matter as well as build into enough time for a date if the item were continued for action to be taken prior to August 8. Councilmember Sullivan suggested continuing the item to the next regular meeting, as one or two special meetings could be scheduled prior to August 8. Councilmember Cook-Kallio said she wanted to hold discussion tonight on the matter but preferred holding the meeting earlier rather than later. She believed there is a lot of work involved to ensure the Initiative is clear and felt July 15th was too late to do this in a deliberate way. Mayor Hosterman and Vice Mayor Thorne both preferred hearing the item sooner than the next regular meeting, if possible. Councilmember McGovern also said it will take her awhile to review her concerns relating to Item 17a and all Councilmembers agreed Item 17a would be the sole item on the agenda. Councilmembers discussed holding the meeting on other dates, and Councilmember Sullivan believed holding the meeting on 4th of July week would leave many residents out-of-town and an unbalanced audience. It was m/s by Cook-Kallio/Thorne to set the special meeting date for July 1, 2008. The motion passed by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Cook-Kallio, Thorne, Mayor Hosterman Noes: Councilmembers McGovern and Sullivan Absent: None 18.

The last rate adjustment was in July 2004 for 12.28% and covered rates through March 31, 2007. PGS has requested a rate adjustment which would run through March 31, 2011. The City historically looks at service costs for an upcoming 3-4 year period and sets rates to cover that. A subcommittee consisting of Councilmember Sullivan and Mayor Hosterman has worked with staff and a consultant to look at data submitted by PGS.
