<br />
<br /> "As I pre~iously have informaed you, there are s
<br />only one reading by CoUncil~ These ordinances pertai
<br />which were discussed in my letter to you dated May 2,
<br />tax ordinances. These budget companion ordinances a~
<br />enclosed:
<br />
<br />ao
<br />
<br />Senior citizen and disabled tax relief inco~
<br />from $5,000 to $5,500 for those eligible fo~
<br />level to be eligible for relief is recommend
<br />Alse, the ceiling on net worth is being inc~
<br />
<br />Golf fees at Portsmouth Sleepy Hole Golf Co~
<br />$1.00 on both weekdays and weeends with addi
<br />$0.50. In addition, cart rental fees are re
<br />also recommending that annual membership du~
<br />limited to weekday use only at a cost of
<br />play. I am further recommending that reside
<br />a 20% discount in fees at the Portsmouth Sle
<br />to be an equitable discount for our citizens
<br />upgrading of this fine facility with their
<br />receive a benefit not offered to residents
<br />equivalent sacrifice.
<br />
<br />Water rates, as I recommended in my budget
<br />
<br />everal budgetary ordinances which require
<br />n mainly to recommended rate changes,
<br /> 1985, transmitting the appropriation and
<br />e described as follows and copies are
<br />
<br />e levels are recommended to be raised
<br /> 100% exemption. The maximum income
<br />ed to be raised from $10,000 to $10,500.
<br />eased from $35,000 to $36,750.
<br />
<br />rse are recommended to be increased by
<br />tional play on weekdays increasing by
<br />commended to increase by $1.00. I am
<br /> be eliminated and bookds of tickets be
<br />0 for twenty tickets for eighteen holes
<br />nts of the City Of Portsmouth be granted
<br />epy Hole Golf Course. I believe~this
<br /> who have, and continue to~support the
<br />ax dollar. It appears just that they
<br /> other jurisdictions not making the
<br />
<br /> ssage, will, if adopted by the City
<br />Council, increase from $1.13 to $1.25 per 1,000 gallons. This increase will change
<br />the typical residential'customer's bill by $0.67 per month.
<br />Other utility fees I am recommending modifications to include the water tap fees
<br />from $250 to $325 for 3/4-inch Service and rom $300 to $400 for 1-inch service.
