Director Drews said the estimated revenues are $18 million. A $1 million refund from Southern California Edison makes it appear as $19 million in revenue. Director Drews said he would like to go forward with the budget and come back at a later date with a five year rate structure plan. A 3% increase is estimated for the first year. Increases will gradually work towards the five year rate. Director Drews said the new substation in the west side of the City is being planned. Mr. Drews said he had heard that at a recent Medical Center planning meeting, discussion was to have Southern California Edison serve the hospital. Mr. Drews said the City should ensure that any facility going into the west end be serviced by the City Electric Utility. Director Drews requested a new position of Meter Tech. Mr. Drews said this position is needed to control and monitor the meters that need repair. Mr. Drews said the current meter tech has become very busy doing consumer work. Director Drews said the meter tech needs to be free to do field work to check on meters, repair and replace meters. This continual monitoring and testing ensures that the meters are working properly and that the City is not losing revenue. City Manager Stratton said the Electric Utility currently has two vacancies, one is in recruitment. The second is in the process of having a job description prepared for it prior to recruitment. A job description will also have to be prepared for the Meter Tech, if the position is approved. ADJOURNMENT: There being no further business to come before the City Council at this time, on motion of Councilmember Roman, seconded by Council - member Lofy and unanimously passed, Mayor Gonzales adjourned the meeting at 7:00 p.m. HELEN A.
