President Boneysteele declared the Hearing open.
Mr. Louis Repetto, Mr. Dominic DeGrazia and Mr. Gene Brown, accountant,
were in the audience representing Lafayette Garbage Disposal Service, Inc.
Mr. Ronald Reagan was requested to explain the additional analysis he
had prepared in regard to the garbage rate increase. Mr. Reagan stated that
his findings substantiated an 8% rate increase as opposed to 9.65% rate increase
requested by the Lafayette Garbage Disposal Service, Inc. After queries by
Board Members, President Boneysteele asked representatives from Lafayette
Disposal Company for their comments. Mr. Gene Brown indicated that he felt
staff's findings were fallacious in their calculation of labor costs as they
relate to mechanical repairs.
President Boneysteele then declared the Hearing closed and thanked the
representatives from Lafayette Disposal Service, Inc., for their participation.
After discussion, including comments regarding the recovery of any loss
in revenue due to delay in concluding the Hearings, it was moved by Member
Gibbs, seconded by Member Allan, that the garbage rates be 87-1/2% 0/8) of
the 9.64% requested by the Lafayette Garbage Disposal Company, Inc., rounding
out to the nearest five cents (5ç), with the stipulation that this increase
would also include compensation for any loss of revenue between July 1, and
August 1, 1975, and that new rates are to become effective August 1,1975,
and that an Ordinance reflecting the implementation of such rates be prepared
and formally presented to the Board for adoption and subsequent publication.
