RATE INCREASE:
The reduction in revenue resulting from the delayed rate increase
totaled $106,000.A wholesale power increase in January of 33.7%
will increase our purchased power costs for 1976 by $160,000.00.
A pass on rate increase of 11.82 percent for the last five months of
1976 would recover $66,665.Director of Light &Power Dekker esti
mated the cost of studying and preparing the rate increase to be
approximately $5,700.The Committee recommends applying for this
pass on increase.
In comparison,the City of Greeley has initiated a 37.44%rate
increase as of April 15th in order to recover its 56%purchased
power rate increase.The 37.44%rate increase established,however,
does not include a 15%rate increase which was originally proposed
for March 1976.
SAFETY GLASSES:
The Committee discussed providing and requiring Light and Power
field employees to wear safety glasses at an approximate cost of
$25 per person.Prescription glasses issued since January 1972 are
shatterproof and,therefore,possibly reducing the need for safety
glasses.Director Dekker will research shatterproof vs.safety
glasses according to the O.S.H.A.standards.
