Council- Minutes of 1-4--77 ~3- that the residents of the City will stand for a 60z increase in the-sepeX_rate as recommendul by the Mayor, and believes that a total p+ew';concept should be considered and reviewed by Council and the' Administration. Mr. Wiia~sky stated it is a fact that the current rate structure is nob a coon method that is used in other municipalities and we know that in 1971 when the expansion of-the Treat- ment Plant was approved the rate structure was approved at the same time; the ratest~have increased since 1971 with .the construction and the expansion and the resit~ents were required to pay for the operation amd maintenance of the total debt service~of that expansion project. Mr. Wilamosky feels very strnng]:y that we should look at a new concept whereby we could spread -t'he dabt to all property owners in the City and not just tbs residents who happen to have toilet facilities; also, so the residents of the City can water their laxps without reservation, etc. Feels that in~1971 there may have been some misjudgement used end perhaps we can testify that if that is the case. In lieu o~ the fact that the Mayor has requested legial~tion Mr. Wilamosky has also requested our Law Department to draft legislation which Mould provide for a Charter Asreac~~t' sand other intricate facets to a new concept which would provide for every property owner in the City paying a share.
