that basically GDU can make the rate effective immediately after <br />it has been approved, but it would be.very difficult to do this <br />in mid cycle between meter readings so they wait until the next <br />billing cycle. <br />Director Pinto advised that they read meters on the 25th of <br />the month so the first full cycle after the hearing is when they <br />will receive a new bill. <br />Commissioner Wodtke was concerned about being sure the rate <br />was not carried over from the March meter reading, and Attorney <br />Vitunac explained that the utility customers had notice of the <br />increase on March 19th and had an opportunity to adjust their <br />consumption Immediately so he did not feel there is any legal. <br />problem. <br />Administrator Wright clarified that the March 25th reading <br />will <br />be <br />at the <br />old <br />rate <br />so the bill <br />they get <br />in <br />April <br />is under <br />the <br />old <br />rate. <br />The <br />bill <br />they get in <br />May will <br />be <br />under <br />the new <br />rate. <br />Jeff Barton, Assistant Director of Utilities, explained the <br />procedure is that we first approve the rate structure and then it <br />is brought back to the Board to issue the formal order. <br />Commissioner Wodtke wished to be assured that.we did not <br />adopt a Resolution on March 19th, and staff confirmed that we did <br />not. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion <br />was voted on carried by a vote of 4-1, Commissioner <br />Wodtke dissenting. <br />n <br />47 <br />APR 9 1986 BOOK 6 <br />I <br />
