by Alderman Carls, seconded by Alderman Beatty, to approve the license. Motion

Kenneth Merrill, City Accountant, made a presentation on the impact on sewer/water
rates for the proposed water plant expansion. The accountant reviewed a memorandum
regarding the amount of financing required and estimated that a 25 per cent increase
in both sewer and water rates would be necessary to pay for the principal and in-
terest cost on the proposed bond issue for the water plant expansion. Mr. Merrill
said he would be reviewing his findings with the bond consultant, Ehlers & Associ-
ates and that a rate increase would be forthcoming in the event the project would
be approved.
