We will present the overall Impact of the proposed rate revenue on the City and Its rate payers, as well as noting the Impact to rate payers at common service levels. It is Important not to focus on Just a few low rate categories, without determining whether other customers will be similarly Impacted. September 10, 2019 Page 2 HF&H Consultants, LLC 25B-10
