Water board reviews flat-rate study and moves on UMAT contract
Summary
The water board discussed a flat-rate study and deferred rate changes until a staff analyst can join by phone; the UMAT contract was raised and a motion to accept the contract was recorded in the water-board portion of the meeting, though an explicit roll-call outcome is not captured in the supplied transcript segments.
During the water‑board portion of the meeting, the board reviewed a water flat‑rate study and recommended deferring any final rate changes until the consultant (Steve) can join a future meeting by phone to answer questions. The staff suggested arranging a call during the February meeting so the consultant can explain the proposed numbers and impacts.
Board members noted the consultant’s recommendation would primarily affect business customers and that residential impacts would be limited under the proposed approach. The board decided to table final action until the consultant can appear by phone.
Separately, the UMAT contract appeared on the agenda. A motion was made to accept the UMAT contract; the supplied transcript records the motion being made but does not include an explicit roll‑call tally or a recorded outcome in the provided segments.
Next steps: the board will schedule a meeting with the consultant for rate‑setting discussion and clarify the UMAT-contract outcome in the next meeting minutes.
