Enclosed is a copy of a letter that Reese sent to P.M.G. After
the workshop, the group with Hartman agreed that the $435,000
figure was an estimate based on accounting figures but agreed
that the value of the system should be taken into consideration
along with rate increases. To that end, Phil tried to set up
meetings after the workshop. Because of the complexity, we are
attempting to set a meeting for July 14th at 10:30 a.m.
I think it would be beneficial for you to attend this meeting to
see how the new rates pay back to the City and added value to the
system can be structured to accomplish the basic concept
presented by Hartman. I will come by the school Monday morning
to discuss this with you.
