HomeMy WebLinkAbout1958-05-12city council minutesi With our new schedule of charges, some multiple dwelling units will have a reduction in charges and many will have an increase, Caldwell's schedule of charges provides a charge of $1.25 for the first unit, and 75 cents for each additional dwelling unit, which maintains a kitchen or usual kitchen facilities. The spread between the single unit and the multiple unit is 50 cents. On this basis, we feel our charge is in line with other cities. We, the Committee, feel that the rates established by the Ordinance are fair and equit- able. As provided by the Ordinance, any owner of a multiple dwelling may appear before the Council individually and present his individual problem. The first of these meetings is set for May 14th. Any adjustment made will be based upon facts and figures of the individual case, and not upon emotions and pressure. Up until the present shcedule of charges were set un, thzare has been no uniformity pertaining to multiple unit dwellings. This situation has resulted in many inequitable charges, all beed on charges inexistence twenty years ago. Inestablishing these rated, the Commission has taken into consideration the fact that multiple unit dwellings are a form of commercial operation, and the'rat €s should be applied as such. We, the committee, havespent many, many hours in meetings and discussions trying to provide an Ordinance that will work. We have listened to every group or individual and have T.pent many hours in "on- the -spot inspection and study or other cities' experience and are very proud of our efforts.
