Hall - spoke about additional personnel - Wastewater cash fund charge - 58% increase in personnel between 07/08 to 08/09.
Stover - approved positions in 07 did not hire entire positions to 08/09 FY.
Hall - been given a five year forecast that we will be hiring approximately 13 people. Stover - no new positions included in tonights increase.
Proposal was what it might take to get system where it needs to be said Hildabrand. An idea of what may be coming.
Hall - in January we are going to have a mid year budget update - reduce 4 to 5%? How will those decreases effect this rate increase. Hildabrand looking at other ways to cut back however looking at enterprise funds also.

Does this rate increase require a 4/5 vote???? Check with Mr. Ball.

Now reviewing recommended actions:
End of presentation.
Nygaard - what is WDR implementation.
Stover - wastewater discharge order - required by law set down by State.
Hall - there isn't an exact way to how to go about implementing WDR. Yes said Stover. Dale - need to adequately maintain the system. Up to agendy to determine what is adequate.
Hall - spoke about additional personnel - Wastewater cash fund charge - 58% increase in personnel between 07/08 to 08/09.
Stover - approved positions in 07 did not hire entire positions to 08/09 FY.
Hall - been given a five year forecast that we will be hiring approximately 13 people. Stover - no new positions included in tonights increase.
Proposal was what it might take to get system where it needs to be said Hildabrand. An idea of what may be coming.
Hall - in January we are going to have a mid year budget update - reduce 4 to 5%? How will those decreases effect this rate increase. Hildabrand looking at other ways to cut back however looking at enterprise funds also.
Nygaard - the action for tonight will not mandate moving forward with five year projection.

Going to get worst said Lewis.

Dale Kubacki, Carlsbad, came forward to address Council. Understand current situation - 20% is a big jump during this time. Would like to have it spread out over a couple of years. Spoke about flyer sent out with discrepancies - still have discrepancies addressed - wants costs to be transparency. Can kind of understand why we need to pay what we need to pay. Wish that it was more gradual.
Get letter to Dale and Stover.

Nygaard comments now - staff has done a good job of explaining cost increase.
Packard - will support - concerns of dropping reserve fund.
Hall - in conversation about economy - today the tough decision is how are we going to address a continual increase. Can support the pass through - however, cannot vote in favor.
Does this rate increase require a 4/5 vote???? Check with Mr. Ball.
