Item number three Accountable 118 329 Related to water services of Seattle Public Utilities, revising certain water rates and charges for service to wholesale customers and amending sentiments to code subsection 21.0 4.4 40.8. In connection there with the committee recommends the bill pass. Thank you, Councilmember Bagshaw. Thank you very much. Seattle Public Utilities supplies water to 20 water utilities under long term contracts, and this includes a number of our suburban cities, water districts and the Cascade Water Alliance. And we enter into long term contracts with SPS customers, and they pay rates sufficient to fund improvements that specifically benefit their service area. The rates are updated periodically. They have not been updated since 2003, and this particular wheeling contract that we're now looking at entering into will really deal with increasing capital project to repair and recode a 2 million gallons storage tank, an updated allocation of the same storage tank and increasing pumping costs due to electrical power costs. The two impacted are going to be Olympic view and North City and our committee recommends do pass on this council bill. Thank you. Questions or comments? Please call the role on the passage of the bill. Suzanne Bagshaw. Ga Ga in Harrell High Lakota O'Brian. High. Rasmussen. High. President Burgess High nine in favor not opposed. The bill passes and the chair will sign it. Please read item for.
