RFGIJT.AR MFFTING APRIL 10, 1978
<br />REGULAR MEETING RECONVENED (CONTINUED
<br />WHEREAS, the proposed increase would mean an additional $439,886.10 of our tax dollars
<br />spent just on electricity; and
<br />WHEREAS, Indiana law requires the Public Service Commission to conduct full, fair, and
<br />impartial hearings to enable all of the facts and evidence to be introduced; and
<br />WHEREAS, due to the overwhelming amount of public interest by the citizens of the City
<br />of South Bend, a field hearing held in our city by the Public Service Commission on the
<br />proposed rate increase is both necessary, reasonable and essential.
<br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of the City of South Bend, Indiana,
<br />that:
<br />SECTION I. The Common Council of the City of South Bend, Indiana, on behalf of all of its
<br />citizens officially petitions the Indiana Public Service Commission to schedule a field hearing
<br />in the City of South Bend so that all consumers in this area may have the opportunity to offer
<br />facts and evidence on the 33.7 percent rate increase proposed by the Indiana and Michigan Electri,
<br />Company.
<br />SECTION II. The Common Council further finds that the proposed rate increase would have
<br />a detrimental effect on the economic welfare of its citizens as well as the City itself.
<br />SECTION III. The Council believes that in order to insure that full, fair and impartial
<br />public hearings are held on this proposal, that a field hearing in the City of South Bend is not
<br />only necessary but indeed essential, due to the drastic effect the increase would have on our
<br />own policy of sound fiscal management.
<br />SECTION IV. This Resolution shall be in full force and effect from and after its adoption
<br />by the Common Council and approval by the Mayor.
