The Official Unofficial Minutes of the WL BOA
April 12

"Be prepared".  That's Mary's advice to residents when it comes to a sewer rate increase as noted in her recent BOA notes.  KCMO recently jacked sewer rates by 14%...you wouldn't know this because the Mayor and BOA have once again decided to allow the increase to come out of the current fund balance.  It  wasn't all that long ago that Jerry was remarking about the reduced state of the sewer fund.  Why would they not pass along the rate increase to residents now?  Mary says it will happen next year and you should "be prepared".

P.S.  Today's KC Star (front page) announces the KCPL rate increase approved for May...5.23%.
