CITY OF AUBURN

MEMORANDUM
TO: Auburn City Council. Members
FROM: Stan Kersey 19y4le—
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3480
DATE: January 9, 1980
I herewith veto ordinance 3480, ai ordinance pertaining to water rates for the
City of Auburn.
As disclosed at the Council meeting of January 7, 1980, the ordinance proposed
increasing rates effective with the February 10, 1980, billing. According to
the Finance Director, this 2110180 billing would be for the period ending 2110180
for that period which commenced on 12110179. Therefore, the starting date would
have been actually 12110179 even though the legal effective date per ordinance
would not be until approximately January 16, 1980.
Several years ago when the City Council was reviewing water and sewer increases it
was determined th.3t it would be in the best interests of the City if public hearings
were held regarding these increase which would give the public the ability to question
the needs and/or purposes of the increases and to voice their opinions pro or con on
the matter.
I have talked to the Finance Director and would like to make a suggestion which I
believe he concurs with. Call for a public hearing and have an ordinance ready that
can'be passed at the next Council meeting if that is the wish of the Council after
holding the hearings. This would allow proper procedures to the followed prior to
the effective date which would be after each district's full billing cycle commencing
or or after February 1, 1980.
