MINUTES COUNCILMEMBERS ABSENT : Minutee of the Regular Meeting of READING - September ORDINANCE 2L, L987 were approved. L352 - ESTABLISHING SEWERPUBLIC HEARING - SECOND RATES FOR 1987-88 Director of Public Works reviewed his meno of September 16 in vhich he recommended council adopt an ordinance establishing the proposed sewer rate for 87-88 fiscal year beginning with the rvater readings on or after November 1, 1987. Sewer rates are based on waEer use from July 1986 to June 1987, adjusted for the Hyatt Hotel not being in business and the Ibis and Embassy Sultes hotels running a full year. The use was also reduced 5 percent for conservation efforts. Thi.s year calculations differ from former years in two areas; schools and churches have a neu rate rather than residential ratesl and Burlingame Hil1s and Hillsborough loadings were accounted for in t.he program but not included in the rate structure as those costs are covered in separate agreenents. He noted Lhe city is also starting to process Millbrae's sludge this year, but this is a straight pass through and is not included in the revenue calculations. These rates should raise revenue equal to the operating budget, plus $300,000 for Capital Improvements and $75,000 for equipnent replacement. Mayor Barton opened the public hearing.

RESOLUTION 106-87 - ESTABLISHING PROCEDURES WATER RATES AND CHARGES AND RELATED Director of Public Works reviewed his memo of September 29 in which he recommended that council adopt a resolution rai-sing water rates and fees. hlater rates have not been raised since 1983; some fees were adjusted lasE year. Rates were not raised because the General Fund has been contributing to Water Capital Inprovements and the San Francisco l^later Department decreased its rates last year. This year it is recomnended that rates be increased to $1.20 per Ehousand gallons for Burlingame and Eo $1.33 for Ehe Burlingame Hi1Is. In addition, a surcharge of $,89 per thousand gallons would be added to Burlingame Hi1ls for the installation of the hydrant on Adel j.ne Drive. Engineering is preparing plans for additional hydrants in that area and it appears the city wi 11 need the surcharge for the next few years. Fees or deposits for Fire Service connections, temporary fire hydrant meters and bonds for water system work should be increased. Councilman Mangini questioned whether 1,500 to 2,000 gallons per mj.nute was an adequate flow for fire fighting, Fire Chief replied yes; and commented on the informational memo regarding the rrquick f ixrr fire hydrant on Adeline noting the preferred easement was noE avai.lable and city is negotiating with another property owners for an easement for the water line to a new hydrant. Councilman Anstrup moved adoption of RESOLUTION 106-87. Seconded by Councilman Mangini, carried unanimously by ro11 call vote. Gilbert RodIi, Burlingame Hi11s, again requested to make a comment; he noted the residents had jusE recently learned about the raise in water rates and the surcharge, and that they were concerned about the considerable rise j-n cost for their water; they hoped for something more equitable; this surcharge will benefit city residents who live on Adeline as well as county residents; they do want to cooPerate and work with Ehe city on solving water system problems, but would not want to see this melhod of financing used for aIl water inprovenents in the unincorporated county area.
