recommendation

The City Commission adopt the proposed ordinance, as revised.

explanation

In the Proposed Budget for the Combined Utilities System, the General Manager made a recommendation to increase electric base rates and customer services charges, provide time-of-use rates for commercial classes, as well as increase street and rental lighting charges.   

Additionally, a recommendation is being made to modify the single Distributed Resources Credit rate to provide individual Distributed Resources Credit rates to each electric rate class based on average retail price by class.   This would replace the single credit rate for all classes that is currently used.

The rate changes will be applied to bills rendered after 12:01 A.M., October 1, 2008.
