Approval of Minutes of Previous Meeting
Minutes of the May 31, and June 27, 1990, meetings were
approved as written.
Discussion Items
A. Electrical Rate Schedules
City Light Staff presented the UAC with four optional
rate packages. Ail the options produced the same revenue
but had varying charges for the three rate components
(customer charge, demand charge and energy charge).
Staff recommended alternative #1 and a discussion ensued
as to the merits of the various options.
Dick Wight moved and Mike Lemon seconded to adjust
electrical rates as per alternative #1 to be effective
October 1, 1990 and apply to all billings as of November
1, 1991. The motion passed unanimously.
Alternative #1 proposed setting customer charges for each
rate class at 61.5% of the charge supported by the cost
of service study. It was felt that by increasing the
customer charge by at $1 each time rates are changed we
would eventually get the charge up to what the cost of
service study justifies.
The UAC directed the Light Director to put information
together concerning the new electrical rates and get the
information to all the Council members as soon as
possible. Director Titus indicated that the material
would be available by the end of the week.

B. Utility Extensions Outside the city Limits.
Public Works Director Pittis, City Light Director Titus
and Planning Director Collins provided a verbal
presentation on the pros and cons of extending City
utilities outside the City limits.
Members of the committee requested that an informational
memorandum, covering the items presented, be included in
the next Council agenda. The Committee felt that more
discussion would be necessary on the issue and suggested
to Mr. Cronauer that is was up to him if he wanted his
extension request to be considered by the City Council.
