City Council meeting of April 14, 2004 Page 4 APPROVE WATER AND SEWER RATES FOR 2004 As Council is aware, Bill Lehner from ISM, Inc. provided a water and sewer rate model back in 2001. Finance Director Ron Otkin has used this model to determine the appropriate water and sewer rates, on an annual basis, as they relate to the City's capital improvement program and staffing needs. For 2004, the Finance Director determined that water rates are sufficient to retain profitability, but that sewer rates need to be adjusted due to increased sewage treatment expense. Adoption of the Consent Agenda adopted Resolution 2004-15 approving the new sewer rate schedule for 2004, as submitted.
