The General Manager Marina West gave a report on discussing the rate study.

“I wanted to remind the members of the Board and the general public that I am scheduling two special committee meetings on September 2 and on September 4 at 4:00 p.m. where we will be discussing the rate study that is underway and bringing the whole Board up to speed on what a rate study is, what the basis, the foundation is on how it can be built and get questions and answers on that.

Then on Thursday the (September 4) there would be a presentation on the draft of the rate study and hoping to get the committee to weigh in on whether we want to look at rate scenarios; do we want to look at variations? We have scheduled September 2nd and September 4 at 4:00 p.m. for special finance.”
