<br /> <br />Mr. Matsuda said he is agreement with the language with the exception to say <br />there is currently no mechanism to pass on the electricity cost to the consumers. Ms. <br />Garson asked if the wastewater rate was a flat fee. Mr. Matsuda thinks it is $27. Ms. <br />Garson said because of the rate structure this cannot be done; presumptively it could be <br />done but the rate structure would have to be changed. Instead of paying a flat fee, the <br />electrical cost and surcharges would have to be calculated. <br /> <br />Ms. Maddox noted that was one of the things Ms. Leithead Todd said; she <br />cannot control electric rates, biodiesel rates or things like that. By separating costs it <br />give the ability to budget based on fees and other additional costs. <br /> <br /> Mr. Matsuda asked if this is a feasible recommendation. Ms. Garson replied she <br />thinks it would be feasible. <br /> <br />Discussion held and recommendation amended to read as follows: <br /> <br />Explore the possibility of separating costs of electricity or diesel fuel on <br />consumers’ wastewater bills and passing those costs on to consumers. <br /> <br />Motion and Vote <br />: Ms. Kierkiewicz moved to approve the <br />recommendation as amended.
