M. Pursuant to proper call and notice from Mayor Kost the City Council met in special session at 11:30A• M-, Wednesday, August 4th, 1971. Present were Mayor Kost, Alderman Peterson and Alderman Black. Also, present were Administrative Assistant Mealey, Superintendent Ralph Young from Hutchinson Utilities Commission and Orville Kuiken, Gas Service Division. Mr. Young presented the Commission's proposal for modification of rate schedule for natural gas. Upon questioning by members of the Council it was determined that the Utilities Commission had not increased rates to consumers since the inception of the Natural Gas Service and that increases from Northern Natural Gas, over the same span of years, have made a rate increase adjustment necessary. Detailed explanation of the various rates and classifications satisfied the questions of the Council and Alderman Black moved that the rate adjustments be approved. Alderman Peterson seconded the motion and upon being put to vote all present voted "aye ". Mayor Lost thereupon declared the motion passed. There being no further business to come before the Council the meeting was declared adjourned at 11:52 A. M. 9. The following bills were allowed: Municipal Electric Plant R. E.
