AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BAINBRIDGE ISLAND,
WASHINGTON AMENDING SEWER RATES IN THE LYNWOOD

82-20, AS SUBSEQUENTLY AMENDED; AND REPEALING
THOSE PORTIONS OF ALL PRIOR ORDINANCES THAT
AMEND SECTION E.5.d OF ORDINANCE 82-20.
WHEREAS, a structure for establishing water and sewer rates, charges
and fees was put into place by Ordinance 82-20; and
WHEREAS, Section E of Ordinance 82-20, which specifies those rates, charges
and fees has been subsequently amended on various occasions including amend-
ment by Ordinances 83-09, 84-25, 86-08, 86-19, 91-13, 93-39, 97-35 and 98-36; and
WHEREAS, property owners in the Lynwood Center area have asked the City
to provide sewer service to them from the nearby sewer system operated by Sewer
District No. 7 and Ordinance 98-36 was passed setting sewer rates for that area; and
WHEREAS, it has now been discovered that the rates set by Ordinance 98-36
are inconsistent with the rate structure used by Sewer District No. 7 to charge the
City, necessitating a need to amend the City's rates; now, therefore,
