Mr. Orton explained that staff has done many things to attempt to minimize the need for a rate increase. He 223 224 CITY COUNCIL MEETING October 16, 1984 reviewed the financial status of the Sewer and Water Utilities and stated that the utilities are required by law to operate in a solvent manner. He stated that should the funds go insolvent, the City would be required by law to transfer money from the general tax fund to the Utility Funds. He reviewed the numerous income losses suffered by the utilities. Following Mr. Orton's presentation, George Crawford, a citizen of Port Angeles, addressed the Council. Mr. Crawford spoke in opposition to the rate increase. He suggested the City cut back on employees to save money. Bill C10uter from Economic & Engineering Services then addressed the Council regarding the Cost of Service Study completed by the firm. Mr. Clouter explained the phases of the study; the study was for projected costs and revenues from November 1, 1984, to December 31, 1985, and study results indicate what needs to be done during that 14-month period. The findings of the study indicate that revenue in the Water Utility is deficient 11.4% and revenue in the Sewer Utility is deficient 27.6%. He then reviewed the Cost of Service Study completed by his firm which separated the necessary increases into categories depending on the types of service, and made recommendations-f~r rate increases. Following Mr. Clouter's presentation, a member of the audience asked how much the Study had cost. Mr. C10uter stated it had cost $6,000. The gentleman in the audience stated that this amount would buy a'lot of water. A member of the audience opposed having the Study done by someone other than City staff members. Manager Flodstrom explained that by having a study completed by experts, City staff had better guidelines to perform this type of study in the future, and that an occasional outside view of the utility is necessary. Roger Reidel of 319 West 15th, then addressed the Council, speaking in OPPOSition to the rate increase. He questioned staff members regarding details of the increase and stated that the increase was too high. He recommended using the half-cent sales tax to compensate for income losses in the Utilities. Pete Hart, a citizen of Port Angeles, then addressed the Council, speaking in opposition to the rate increase. He stated that the lawns would not be watered as a result of a Utility rate increase and the City therefore not be attractive to tourists. He also suggested the possibility of providing an unlimited supply of water during the summer months to citizens for the purpose of watering their lawns. John Pierce, a citizen of Port Angeles, then addressed the Council, speaking in opposition to the rate increse. Mr. Pierce stated that the work force is dropping lower all the time and that the people need a break rather than having an increased load placed upon them. Andrew Tschimperle, 117 West 14th, then addressed the Council, speaking in opposition to the rate increase. Mr. Tschimperle opposed the percentage amount of the increase and the number of administrative personnel employed by the City. Lorraine ROSS then addressed the Council, speaking in opposition to the rate increase. She asked if there was a shortage of water at this time. Manager Flodstrom stated that there was not. She asked about the cost of metering water and of having the meters read. Manager Flodstrom stated that these costs were a small portion of the operating costs for the Utilites. Louie Torres of 1620 West 13th, addressed the Council, speaking in support of the rate increases. He stated that the costs being discussed here would not cover the interest costs for a person to borrow money to drill a well in a rural area or to obtain a septic tank. He did state that the timing was poor and recommended considering a break-even or meeting cost consideration might be looked at over a period of time. Mr. Torres stated that he would favor cutting funds in the more bureaucratic, regulative, and permitting processes of the City rather than operating costs for a utility. Mayor Duncan asked for further comments; there were none. She therefore closed the public hearing. 4.
