Councilmember Hardin felt that <br />Council should accept the goals as proposed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Beyer withdrew her motion and Councilmember Cich withdrew his second to the <br />motion. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Peterson and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to schedule a <br />workshop for Saturday, January 11, 1992 from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon to review the goals. <br /> <br />Motion carried.

He stated this would be another source of revenue <br />and asked the Council if they would like to discuss this further or possibly have the Budget <br />Committee review it. <br /> <br />Councihnember Beyer stated she liked the idea of charging the fee. <br /> <br />Mayor Gilbertson stated he was opposed to the idea as that would force the utility companies to <br />raise their rates and pass that added cost onto the residents. <br /> <br />Councilmember Beyer felt the Budget Committee should review the possibility of charging this <br />fee. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cich agreed with the Mayor's comments. <br /> <br />Cotmcilmember Hardin agreed with the Mayor but noted that it is an additional revenue source that <br />merits further review. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Hardin and seconded by Councilmember Peterson to direct the Budget <br />Committee to consider a public utility gross earnings tax. <br /> <br />Motion failed. Voting Yes: Councilmembers Hardin and Peterson. Voting No: Mayor <br />Gilbertson, Councilmembers Beyer and Cich. <br /> <br />Case #12: Adopt 1992 Schedule of Rates and Charges <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Peterson and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to adopt Resolution <br />#91-12-273 adopting the 1992 Schedule of Rates and Charges. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
