Commissioner Scurlock stated that we changed the rate <br />structure. It is not going up the percentages they were <br />requesting; it will go up 40%. <br />Mr. Pinto believed that if we are going to allow GDU to <br />increase their connection charges, then the facility charge <br />should be reduced because that's where the other portion of <br />capital is picked up. The user charge, which basically <br />represents the cost of producing water should not see -as <br />much of a decrease. Mr. Pinto asked if Mr. Fancher <br />followed what he was saying. <br />Mr. Fancher suggested, if it is acceptable to the <br />Commission, that he and Mr. Pinto meet and discuss how the <br />40% should be applied. He believed that what the Board is <br />saying is that they would like to see the gallonage charge <br />stay where GDU requested it to be and that any difference be <br />made up over in the base charges. <br />General agreement was expressed, and Mr. Fancher noted <br />that the existing gallonage charge is $1.00 per thousand. <br />Administrator Wright pointed out that this will require <br />some calculations, and he did not believe we can come up <br />with the definitive rate tonight. <br />Mr. Pinto stated that if the Board is saying that the <br />amount of money that GDU is requesting in total be limited <br />to 40%, then we can work out the rate structure, and <br />Commissioner Scurlock confirmed that is the intent. <br />Mr. Fancher informed the Board that he would be glad to <br />get together with Mr. Wright and Mr. Pinto and work out a <br />rate structure that will produce a 40% increase in revenues. <br />Administrator Wright emphasized that it would be a 40% <br />increase inrg oss revenues. <br />Mr. Fancher agreed that they would work out a 40% <br />increase in "gross" revenues and then come back before the <br />Commission for approval of the specific rates to implement <br />the new structure.
