recommendation

The City Commission adopt the proposed ordinance.

explanation

In the Proposed Budget for the Combined Utilities System, the General Manager made a recommendation to increase wastewater base rates wastewater connection charges.  The change in connection charges varies by meter size with an overall increase in wastewater connection charge revenue at the same rate presented to the City Commission in the 2003 budget. Both changes will be effective October 1, 2005. Even with these changes, GRU's monthly rates and connection charges remain among the lowest in the state.
