From: James C. Hansz, PE, Director of Public Works/City
Subject: Cost Based Rate Setting, A Presentation
Inc.
When the City Council approved the Kalispell Rate Study contract with Economic and
Engineering Services, Inc., a question was raised regarding whether the negotiated scope of work
included a comprehensive educational work session with the consultant on the fundamental principles of
cost based rate setting. The requested work session was included within Task I and the purpose of the
meeting this evening with Mr. Gould is to fulfill that requirement.
