TO: Gary Brandenburg, <br />County :Attorney <br />FROM: Geartle Liner, <br />Utilities, Director <br />DATE: February 8, 1982 FILE: <br />QJ ! fl �� Proposed Ordinance Amenclrnents <br />to Ordinance #80-13 <br />REFERENCES: <br />I am returning the copy oT annotated version of the <br />proposed ordinance amendment that you had worked up. What <br />you prepared is excellent and will do the job, however, it <br />does not include the matter that we had discussed. That item' <br />is the ability to be able to charge the base rate for any. <br />period of time any existing service has been shut off upon °°" 0 14 <br />request of the resident, or for delinquency. I have shown C$° <br />such coverage (maybe it should be worded better) on page 3. <br />There's one area of information that was suggested by <br />John Lisle for your consideration. We want to charge developers <br />who don't develop in a given.period - for the base -rate. John <br />feels that where we have included a volume of water, along <br />with a base rate, that the courts might not feel this is proper <br />to do. I believe the point can be argued that the base rate <br />includes the cost of doing business and the reservation of the <br />water capacity even though the customer does not use. it, and <br />we do give the customer 2,000 gallons of water to boot for - <br />the same price. If they use the water, fine, if they don't <br />use it, that is their bad luck. <br />..' Beyond this response is there <br />pre to do in getting this ordinance <br />of Commissioners? <br />GL/kh <br />cc: Neil Nelson <br />Tommy Thomas <br />John Robbins <br />file <br />anything else that you wish <br />amendment before the.
