He stated that the Trinity River Authority is advising us that we can expect another 22-cent increase in wastewater rates, and there may be a significant increase in water rates also. Mr. McKamie reported on several ways the staff is striving to reduce costs, and stated that one way is for the Police Department employees to begin transferring money deposits to the bank instead of hiring armored cars to do so.
