Mr. Thomas responded the packet contains a comparison with the current rates for Cities; they do not know if the other Cities will increase costs in the next few years. He concluded that our rates are competitive at this time. Commissioner Flury asked if the rate structure is based on the debt service and if we have the option to vote on it every year. Mr. Thomas responded the rate structure is based on the debt service and the City can vote every year, if it chooses. He advised the 5 year plan is based on the assumption that the items will be financed with a State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan. The City needs to demonstrate that it has rates in place to support the debt service. That is why we need to adopt a plan that services the debt. The Plan can be reevaluated in future years.
