SECTION I: The City of Renton hereby declares its oppo-
sition to and displeasure with the recent action of the Council of
the Affu.nicipality of Metropolitan Seattle in raising the monthly sewer
rate from $2 . 00 to $2 . 75 per month for each residential customer
which such action is considered ill-timed and unnecessary in view of
the presently prevailing economic climate of the Puget Sound area;
it is further the desire of the City of Renton that any such increase
in sewer rates should be deferred until such time as the economic
conditions in this area have improved and undisputed findings made
that such increase is absolutely necessary to maintain the present
facilities .
