MOTION TO ADOPT DRAFT No. 2018-136 made by Mr. Ferrara and seconded by Mr. Sidoti. Mayor Fiala asked if there was any discussion on adopting this Ordinance. Mr. Kuhar stated he was not going to vote on this Ordinance or the next one because we ve given opportunities to increase revenues for the City through water which have been missed. We ve given large increases over a short period of time to bring the water and sewer funds up where they need to be. We have to figure something else out and not keep hammering the people with more increases every year; there has to be a better solution than to just keep taxing the residents. DRAFT Ms. Shaffer added that it s not a tax, it is a fee. These services are supposed to pay for themselves. It is a utility that is an enterprise; costs go up and we agreed to look at keeping pace with the increases rather than letting them fall behind like previous Councils may have done in the past, necessitating us to create a giant increase. This is basically keeping pace with the cost of the service. MOTION TO ADOPT DRAFT No. 2018-136 originally made by Mr. Ferrara and seconded by Mr. Sidoti was asked for Roll Call by Mayor Fiala.
