incur a major structural change affecting all St. Paul Regional Water Utility customers across the board, including Roseville. At the request of Mayor Roe, Mr. Miller advised that the 2012 rate from St. Paul Regional Water Utility was somewhat less than projected; however, he anticipated that the City could realize a rate increase in 2013, and needed to be alert for that. Councilmember McGehee asked that staff display historical data of what the City Council had done to its utility rate structure; and address whether or not the conservation rate structure had worked. Councilmember McGehee opined that her perception of the current structure served to subsidize individuals in the community using excessive amount of water. Mayor Roe asked that such a discussion be part of future agenda topics, and refocused discussion on the motion currently before the body to set 2012 water consumption rates, with other discussion not germane to that motion. At the request of Councilmember Laliberte, Mr. Miller confirmed that the water consumption rate could be revised at any time and at the discretion of the City Council. Mr. Miller advised that the only difficulty would be in staff's ability to communicate that message to residents in a timely manner between quarterly billings, noting that staff was fielding considerable questions from residents at this time on what they should expect for rates. McGehee moved a friendly amendment to the original motion that these items of discussion be included on the February 11, 2013 meeting for further exploration and 2012 usage analysis, allowing for full discussion of the issues raised tonight. Makers of the original motion (Willmus/Etten) accepted this friendly amendment. At the request of Mayor Roe as to whether or not all information would be available at that time, Mr. Miller advised that staff would not have December 2012 usage available on all City accounts until the end of March; however, he confirmed that he would have information on how much water the City had purchased from St. Paul Regional Water Utility at that time, but not all specific customer consumption information. Roll Call (as amended) Ayes: McGehee; Willmus; Laliberte; Etten; and Roe. Nays: None. At the request of Finance Director Miller for the specific additional information being requested beyond the philosophical questions, Mayor Roe asked that he clarify that with Councilmember McGehee and other individual Councilmembers outside the meeting, given the lateness of the hour and additional agenda items still pending. 12
