No written <br /> comment were received during the ten-day comment period. Five people testified at the <br /> public he ring. One person supported the rate increase. Four people were opposed to the <br /> t rate incre se, to which I make the following findings: <br /> Co ent 1: Dick Beers testified that he was opposed to the increase. He felt that <br /> mone~r was being spent inappropriately on land acquisition for the "storm <br /> wa tewater" fee. His assessment was that the City would be collecting an <br /> additional $250,000 per month and he didn't know where all that money was going. <br /> He', stated his feeling that money is being wasted by City government. <br /> Administrative Order -Page 1 <br /> ~ C:\Documents aid Settings\cewakjl\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK16C\04WastewaterUserFees - 2 ao (00087419).DOC <br /> I <br /> I <br /> <br />
