He thanked Mr. Robert Sheets, Director of <br />Finance, and his staff for their time and applauded them and Council for <br />their willingness to help the needy. Mr. Toscano expressed his desire for <br />Council to consider the flat rate structure for utility billing for the <br />following reasons: 1) flat rate system has been used successfully by private <br />and public companies all over the country; 2) the public perceives the present <br />rate structure as unfair, it is not understood, and a flat rate would simplify <br />the system; 3) if' flat rates are set correctly, large customers will remain <br />in the system; and 4) flat rates could reflect the cost of the commodity <br />itself and should not reflect the customer's power in the market place. <br /> <br /> Mr. Buck thanked Mr. Toscano for his continued interest and concern. <br /> <br /> <br />
