At the 8:30 Work Session, the Council was apprised that Mr. Martin had called and

In response to Council query as to the Director's recommendation, he

Cunningham responded that the recommendation to the Council was that a
refund for these overcharges to the respective customers be made by Order
of the Council, utilizing two alternatives: (1) for those accounts
currently paid in full, the refund be made to the respective customers in
cash, or (2) to those customers whose current utility bill is not paid in
full, that the refund be made either in cash or as credit to future
billings, allowing Mr. Martin to work with the individual customer in
this particular regard; that the refunds be made within 60 days in compli
with the PUC; that Mr. Martin's report as to the disposition of these
overcharges be filed with the City Secretary at the end of the 60-day
period; that the Order reflect the future water rates will be at the
approved rate (November 1979), and that Mr. Martin be notified in the
Order that he may request a rate increase in the appropriate manner, said
increase being effective 35 days after his request has been filed with
