Morrison also stated that Lynden would prefer to <br /> have more time to study the "phase out" process, to assure it's legality. <br /> Council recommended not reviewing the Little Canada Ordinance because of it's <br /> length and complexity; consensus was to continue this matter until the Attorney <br /> . has prepared the draft ordinance. <br /> SEWER UTILITY Larry Erickson and Charlotte McNiesh. members of the <br /> RATE INCREASE Finance Committee, were present to answer Council <br /> questions and discuss tqe utility rate increase <br /> recommendation. <br /> In reference to the comment regarding "a minimal amount of cushion" provided in <br /> the increase, Erickson advised it is his opinion there is no cushion worked <br /> into the rate increase. He explained the Committee took the average cost <br /> increases from the Metro Waste Control Commission and Arden Hills overhead <br /> costs since the year 1985. After computation of the overhead costs and the <br /> increase percentages the Committee projected the recommended increase may be <br /> sufficient throughout 1989. . <br /> Council questioned if there would be different sewer rates for different types <br /> of accounts; commercial, residential. non-profit. <br /> Clerk Administrator stated the Village Attorney advised it is unconstitutional <br /> to charge more to non-profit accounts. therefore. they are charged the same <br /> basic rates. <br /> Hansen moved. seconded by Peck, that Council approve <br /> the Sewer Utility Rate increase, as recommended by the Finance Committee and <br /> listed as follows: <br /> Commercial - $1.68 ($1.46/thousand gal. flowage, plus $.22) <br /> Residential - $31.23 ($27.16/quarter, plus 15% increase) <br /> Seniors - $15.62 (1/2 of $31.23) <br /> Council further determined this increase is for usage commencing July 1. 1987, <br /> for billing in September of 1987.
