recommendation

The City Commission adopt the proposed ordinance.

explanation

In the Proposed Budget for the Combined Utilities System, as presented by the General Manager, a recommendation is made to increase natural gas rates by 4.5%.  The need for this increase is due to increasing costs and the cost associated with the Town Gas cleanup.  Even with this increase, GRU gas rates remain among the lowest in the state.

The natural gas customer charges and energy charge rates will be increased by 4.5% for each rate class.
