Dear City Council,
Please do not raise water rates and do not use the formula your staff has recommended. I agree with Richard
Schmidt that there are far fairer ways to determine rates than what is proposed, with a huge base fee, and
which punishes people conserving and single person ( which is often the elderly) dwellings. I like Richard
Schmidt’s ideas that he shared with you for restructuring rates and having them truly tied to use. I urge you not
to make this a city that only the wealthy can afford to live in. The elderly are on fixed incomes, and we need
to be able to have all economic classes of society be able to survive here. Thank you for considering a fairer
approach.
Teri Matteson
