In <br />the past we have been subsidizing these services out of the <br />general fund, which means those people who use the water and <br />sewer were not necessarily those people who were paying for <br />it, and we have corrected that situation by adjusting the <br />rates. We also have protected the minimum user by keeping <br />the minimum fees very close to what they were originally. <br />If we are ever to sell bonds dealing with water and sewer <br />issues we must be able to show evidence that our water and <br />sewer operations pay for themselves and are not subsidized <br />from the general fund. So all of these things were brought <br />about in resetting these rates and it is to every citizen's <br />best interest and to the best interest of the City that this <br />Ordinance is passed. <br />Ayes: Councilpersons Malone, T,ongley, Faris, Simons,.
