City Mgr Vickers seeks 6.1% gas rate hike in Feb plan
City Manager Sara Vickers proposes a 6.1 percent increase to municipal gas rates effective about February 1958 if approved by the City Council. The raise would follow a 7.62 percent hike set for October 25 to cover higher charges from Southern California Gas Co and El Paso Natural Gas Co. Wehe’s report notes the higher costs will raise city revenue by about $548,000 annually, while consumer bills rise modestly across blocks. The plan includes minimum charge reductions and small per–thousand–cubic-foot increases, targeting domestic, commercial, and industrial customers. A pedestrian fatality near E First and Locust Avenues is noted, with police identifying the car driver.
