Chair Cihacek asked if the Community Solar Garden Subscription was submitted to the Council. Mr. Culver indicated it would be presented at the August 13, 2018 meeting. Chair Cihacek suggested that item be added. Mr. Culver stated there are two tracks for discussion as far as water rates. There has been discussion on this Commission on a regular basis and there has also been discussion on the Finance Commission and he was not sure when the Finance Commission was planning to talk about it again. Mr. Freihammer thought it would be in September, but staff would need to confirm that. Mr. Culver asked if there was any desire to guide the Finance Commission's discussion by having another focused discussion and recommendations from this Commission. Member Trainor stated they have talked about the water utility rates quite a bit and he thought through the Commissioner's questions, staff has generated some interesting data that maybe expanded their understanding of how things are playing out. He thought it would be good to be more efficient, based on the work staff has done, and to make a recommendation so the Commission has something to work from and be more effective. Mr. Freihammer stated staff will look at this and whether they can bring additional data to the Commission. The Commission asked for more data on water usage per household. Member Wozniak stated the City Council suggested the Commission look at incentives for using water. Mr. Culver stated they can look at this at the August meeting. Member Wozniak stated he would like organics to be on the September agenda so the Commission can provide a recommendation to the City Council. Mr. Culver stated that would be possible. 11.
