Alderman Hunziker questioned the Director of Public Utilities about leaving the rate the same and wondered what would happen. Robert Pawelski, Director of Public Utilities stated that they would run out of money. He said they only have reserve money for about 1 year. Alderman McConnel wondered why the rate increase was estimated at 7% and now it is 8%. Mr. Pawelski stated that due to the severe hot weather the summer of 1988, the City used a maximum of electricity and the rate would have to be adjusted accordingly. Paul Utesch, Finance Director also concurred with Mr. Pawelski stating that if the rates were not changed, they would run out of money and would have to operate on some short term borrowing. Alderman Hunziker asked if the City did not join SMMPA, would the City have been able to operate with the current plant. Mr. Pawelski stated that the current plant would not have been able to handle the increased demand for electricity. The City would have had to build a new plant and over-all, electricity would have cost the City users -more then if we purchase it from SMMPA.
