<br /> The bank franchise tax was authorized by the General Assembly in response to pending
<br />suits on the current bank stock tax. The bank franchise vax is a result of a joint House-
<br />Senate Finance Study Committee. The tax was passed with a $9 tax applicable in 1982, with
<br />the general understanding that the rate will be lowered to $1 if the suits are dropped.
<br />It is believed that the $9 ra~e will provide sufficient incentive to bring about the dismissa[
<br />of the suits. The City Manager recommends adoption on first reading."

<br /> This ordinance will provide for an increase in the ready-to-serve charges for various
<br />sizes of water meters. The common residential meter size is 5/8" which currently has a
<br />charge of $i per month. The ordinance will increase this fee to $1.50 per month which amounts
