<br />_EQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL AGE. ITEM <br /> <br />AGENDA DATE September 14.1998 REQUESTED BY Jeff Litchfield. Finance Director/ACM <br /> <br />_ REPORT; _ RESOLUTION; XX ORDINANCE; <br /> <br />Included in the 1998-99 Fiscal Year budget was a change in the sewer rate for La Porte's <br />residential customers. The rate decrease approximates 28.5% of the base rate. <br /> <br />The current and new base rates for sewer charges assessed monthly by the City are as follows: <br /> <br />Current <br /> <br />Proposed <br /> <br />Residential <br /> <br />$ 9.45 <br /> <br />$ 6.75 <br /> <br />In conjunction with this rate change, the residential cap for sewer charges will decrease from <br />$35.00 to $32.50 per month. <br /> <br />Rates for sewer consumption have not changed and will still be based on 85% of water <br />consumption. <br /> <br />The impact of this rate decrease will be to lower all residential sewer bills by $2.70 per month or <br />$32.40 per year. This decrease, when coupled with the current year's decrease of $2.50 per <br />month means that all residential utility bills will have dropped by $5.20 over the two year period. <br /> <br />In addition to the decrease in the residential sewer rate, an additional $1 per month discount will <br />be made available to our senior citizens, with senior citizen being liberally defined as 60 years <br />and older. <br /> <br />ACTION REQUIRED BY COUNCIL: <br /> <br />Approve Ordinance lowering sewer rates for customers of La Porte. <br /> <br />FUND N/A ACCT NUM: N/A <br />APPROVED FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA <br /> <br />GMT.~ <br />ROBERT T HERRERA, CITY MANAGER <br /> <br />FUNDS AVAILABLE: N/A <br /> <br />'l-{O-~Q <br />DATE <br />
