Boy. 51 PA' _3 <br />authorized, and Administrator Wright estimated a rate study <br />r <br />could be completed within 90-120 days; he noted that they <br />have interviewed three firms. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Fletcher, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Lyons, to authorize <br />advertising a proposed rate of $12.50 for the <br />first 3,000 gallons and $2.25 for each addi- <br />tional 1,000 gallons for the public hearing on <br />water/sewer rates. <br />Attorney Brandenburg reported that he has advertised <br />for the hearing, but has not advertised a specific rate. <br />Commissioner Wodtke asked if our consulting engineer, <br />John Robbins, was consulted and agrees with these figures. <br />Mr. Wright reported that these figures were worked up <br />internally by Mr. Baird of the Utilities Department right <br />from the consumption figures, and Mr. Robbins was not <br />consulted. <br />Commissioner Wodtke realized we have to advertise <br />something, but he was not convinced in any way that it may <br />take this amount. <br />Attorney Brandenburg stated that we do not have to <br />advertise any amount, but at the last meeting, the Board <br />indicated they would like a figure in advance of the <br />hearing. <br />Commissioner Fletcher asked if there will be another <br />advertisement with these figures in it, and Attorney <br />Brandenburg stated there would not be unless the Board so <br />directed. <br />Commissioner Fletcher stated he would include in his <br />Motion that the $12.50 rate be advertised, and Commissioner <br />Lyons concurred. <br />98 <br />
