COUNCIL MEMBER JOHNSON SECONDED THE MOTION. <br /> MOTION CARRIED 7-0. <br /> 5.1. Consider Water/Sewer Rate Increases <br /> Brett Twardy requested the Council to consider an increase in water and <br /> sewer rates. He recommended an increase to $14.50 for the first 2,000 <br /> gallons and $4.50 per thousand for water and $13.50 for the first 2,000 <br /> gallons and $3.50 per thousand for sewer. Brett reviewed the impact the <br /> increase would have on the average water and sewer user and the high <br /> end user. He also reviewed rates being charged by other cities of similar <br /> size. <br /> Brett discussed the city's needs for future improvements to the water plant <br /> and infrastructure and wastewater plant and infrastructure. Brett indicated <br /> that the extra money generated from the proposed rate increase would <br /> only cover the 2005 budget which includes a total of$30,000 in reserves <br /> ($20,000 for sewer and $10,000 for water). <br />
