Councilperson Jordan elaborated on his request to table due to the calls received
from the public. He is concerned with the effect the rate increase will have on
citizens and requests that the policy be reviewed by the operational review
committee before formal council action is taken.
Councilperson Anders reported that he also had concerns and he had spoken to the
Fire Chief about this matter three times in the last week. The Fire Chief explained
that the Budget Review Committee recommended that this revenue line item be
increased by thirty-five thousand dollars to match the actual revenue received in
Fiscal Year 1995. Councilperson Anders supported the need for time to review the
financial statements before action is considered.
Councilperson Krizek asked for a timeline on reconsideration of the increase. She
reminded the council that the Fire Department is only trying to recoup its actual
costs for ambulance services and even with the proposed increases rates will remain
on the low end of the average for a community the size of Waterloo.
