OLD BUSINESS
RATE INCREASE, LAFAYETTE GARBAGE DISPOSAL SERVICE, INC.
At the request of Mr. Horstkotte, General Manager-Chief Engineer, Mr. Davis,
Administrative Assistant, explained to the Board Members the staff rate study re-
port on Lafayette Garbage Disposal Service, Inc. with rate/revenue and costs pro-
jections through 1973 was intended to assist the Board in determining whether the
requested increase in rates is justified. He stated that Mr. Eugene Brown, audi-
tor for Lafayette Garbage Disposal Service, Inc., and Mr. Repetto had been most
cooperative in the preparation of the report.
Board Members reviewed each schedule of the report with Mr. Davis, and
questioned Mr. Brown about various items including the formula used in arriving
at the rates requested by Lafayette Garbage Disposal Service, Inc.
In response to President Gibbs' question, Mr. Davis stated allowance for
growth of the community and increase in customers was set forth in his memoran-
dum to the Board dated March 18, 1971, but not in the basic report.
Mr. Repetto, of Lafayette Garbage Disposal Service, Inc., expressed his
opinion of the projected income statements and stated the new labor agreement,
without compensating rate increase, had resulted in a loss of income during
the past three months.
After further discussion, Board Members directed that a notice be published
prior to the Hearing on April 1, 1971, which would inform the public of the
increased rates requested by Lafayette Garbage Disposal Service, Inc.
Mr. Davis, Administrative Assistant, was commended by the Board Members
for his excellent presentation and analysis.
President Gibbs suggested that a copy of the report be presented to the
City Manager of Lafayette.
