One advisory board won't have to meet monthly any more.

Two more weeks.
That's how long Naples City Council gave consultants to come up with a new rate structure for irrigation water rates.
Council had been asked to increase irrigation water rates for users across the board. Under the proposal, general users would have seen an increase to $0.89 per 1,000 gallon from $0.82 per 1,000 gallon. Bulk users – often golf courses – would have either seen an increase to either $0.39 per 1,000 gallon or $0.40 per 1,000 gallon from $0.33 per 1,000 gallon. The difference in rates is determined by whether the user has storage on site.
Council members said they felt rate structure wasn't appropriate and voted 4-3 to delay the vote until Sept. 16, giving consultants more time to develop a new rate structure.
Councilwomen Teresa Heitmann and Dee Sulick and Councilman Gary Price cast the dissenting votes.
