Council member King asked <br />if the change would mattered for budgeting or cash-flow reasons, since investment rates <br />are so poor. He also wondered if people would be annoyed by the change, seeing it as a <br />way to disguise the costs. It was agreed that investment income would not be a reason to <br />make a change, but rather to make it more manageable for residents.

Receiving your bill closer to the time water is used, may spur <br />conservation measures. Some on council advocated for monthly billing, but agreed that <br />increasing to six times per year would be beneficial as an initial move. Consensus of the <br />council was that all of the administrator's suggestions were good and should move <br />forward. <br />The meeting was adjourned at 8:35 p.m. <br />Dallas Larson, Adminstrator <br />
