AN ORDINANCE of the City Council of the City of Kent, Washington, amending Section 7.04.280 Kent City Code to adjust the schedule of charges implementing a four percent (4%) per annum increase in city sewer rates through 2018 and passing through an increase in King County's mandatory pass-through charge from $36.10 to $39.79 per month for the 2013 calendar year, and authorizing the finance director to pass-through future King County mandatory pass-through rate increases.

B. The King County Council has increased METRO rates beginning January 1, 2013, due to increased costs. Starting with the month of January, 2013, the city will also increase the city utility portion of its local sewer utility rates by four percent (4%) through 2018. 1 Sewer Rate Increase Amend KCC 7.04.280 ti fi' NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENT, WASHINGTON, DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: ORDINANCE SECTION I. - Amendment.
