January 19th, 1976

there be no revision in the Sewer rates for 1976.

Moved by Alderman Ranger:

Seconded by Alderman Thompson:

That the report of the Finance Committee, January l6th, 1976 recommending

that the water rates be increased by 25¢ per month for 1976 and that
co

there be no revision in the sewer rates for 1976, be approved, and that

the necessary Amendment By-law be prepared.

Carried.

Prior to passage of the above resolution, discussion ensued regarding
the possible increase in sewer rates by a similar amount, however, it
was pointed out by Alderman Ranger that the City Treasurer advised that
there was no way that he couid justify any increase to the Public Utility
Services Commission at this time. Alderman Laking questioned whether or
not such an increase could be justified on the basis of extending service
to the area South of Shaughnessy and Pitt River and the City Administrator
advised that such a development could justify an increase however, no
such definite plans were in progress at this time. Mayor Campbell
assured the Council that following his discussion with the City Treasurer,
it was apparent that increases could not be justified, otherwise they
would have been recommended.

From the Finance Committee January 16th, 1976 with respect to
providing for a waiver of a portion of the sewer charges for Senior
Citizens and a recommendation that the rebate be increased for 1976 by
25¢ per month or $3.00 for the year.

Moved by Alderman Ranger:

Seconded by Alderman Traboulay:

That as recommended in the January 16th, 1976 report of the Finance
Committee respecting the waiver of a portion of the sewer charges for

Senior Citizens, the 1976 rebate be increased by 25¢ per month or $3.00

for the year.

Carried.

Prior to passage of the foregoing resolution, Alderman Ranger noted
that this increased waiver will have the effect of offsetting the water
rate increase for the Senior Citizens and also that serious thought had
been given to abolishing the waiver entirely as the cost of administration

is becoming too high, however, no such action is recommended at this

time.
