Clerk Williams read the legislation by title only. It was moved and seconded that Ordinance 99-33 be adopted. Jonathan Heald said this bond ordinance will allow for the major undertakings for the next five years and the rate increase passed earlier is to help pay for the bonds. Banach said that he wanted to keep exploring where the lines are drawn in terms of Public Works vs Utilities expenditures. There is also a county inspection fee.
True cost have to be paid up front.
Eugene Fritz also opposed the rate increases that are going on all over the county. The percentages of the increases don't even correlate with the cost the living indexes. He urged the sewer adjustment to be continued into the month of September. Sherman said the September was included and Mike Phillips said that the USB does have the flexibility to extend the adjustment. Phillips explained that there are four billing cycles and he said he would be willing to sit down with anyone who wanted more detailed information about the timing of the billing cycles.
