Subsequent to the adoption of the Bass Park Rate Policy, a separate policy was adopted by Council Order 01-300 to address the funding of Non -Profit Organizations. Therefore, Section 5 of the Bass Park Rate Policy can be deleted as the needs of Non -Profits have been addressed by the separate policy. Section 6 of the policy allowed for the transition of reduced rate consumers for a period of one year. As the year has passed, staff felt it would be appropriate to remove that caveat at thistime.
