Water Rates Up Again?

One of the consent agenda items (that's a council item that can be approved without discussion by council members if they so desire) is consideration of raising water rates... yet again.

The item: "Resolution No. (R)08 - 70 Providing Notice of Intent to establish and
increase water rates fees and charges for the Oro Valley Water Utility -
public hearing to be held at 7:00 p.m., November 5, 2008"

And remember, as water rates go up so do the taxes the town raises on them.

What an ugly situation.

Rates increasing. No real countercheck.

Increased Impact Fees Approved

Town Council established new development impact fees for parks and recreation, library, police, general government and transportation at last week's concil meeting.

Anyone notice that only Hizzoner the Mayah for Life, Paul Loomis, voted "No". Would have been two now votes except Al Kunisch was absent.

Everyone else said yes.
