B. Audience Participation (Cont.) Group W (Cont.) Lon Hurd, 3H Consultants, explained the City had required Group W to upgrade the system to provide service similiar to surrounding communities. He reported Federal legisla- tion took charges of converters out of the City's hand. At this time the only control the City has is over the basic charge and approval of the franchise. Colburn said there had been some confusion over the waiving of the automatic time limitation on the request for rate increase and franchise extention. He explained the law says if the request is not acted on in sixty days it would automatically become effective. In Mr. Lloyd's letter of November 3, 1984, he waived the waiting period for thirty days. He felt it was the Council's understanding the sixty days was completely waived. So to clear the procedures he made the following motion. MOTION by Colburn, SECOND by Whittall, to deny the rate increase request of November 3 and franchise extention. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. C.
