2. CLEARANCE COMMENTS:
5. 1MPACT ON NON-PASSAGE:
Sufficient revenues will not be available to provide ongoing operation, maintenance, capital, and debt
service requirements of the Utilities. Without the Water rate increase, there would be an exceptional,
unadvisable demand on forest harvest revenues to fund the Water Utility. Additionally, application of
PILOT to Storm Water revenues without an offsetting rate increase would have a substantial impact on
this utility.
6. IMPACT ON STAFFING~ BUDGETS, FACILITIES~ EQUIPMENT AND OTHER RESOURCES:
These rates are required to meet the 2003 budget objectives.
