Brett Cross, 1217 Mariner's Cove, presented an overhead slide depicting the proposed water rate and the detrimental effect it will have on people with fixed incomes. He felt that Council failed to take into consideration that prior to the water conservation requirements, the average person was using 24 units, not 16 units, explaining that, after the drought, when people go back to using a more normal level, their average water bill would be much greater than was identified in the report submitted by the Finance Director. Jim Carlvsle, 611 Luneta Drive, also reviewed the escalating rate water rate increases over the last year and a half. He felt that 1508 increase was too high, and that Council should look at some other ways to alleviate the high cost. Anita Rogers, 1033 Southwood Drive, urged Council look at some ways to help fixed income people, that the amount of increases were too great. Charles Long, 639 Al Hil, spoke in opposition to the proposed rate increase. Mayor Dunin declared the public hearing closed.
