2 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN
JACINTO, CALIFORNIA, OPPOSING THE 1985 RATE INCREASE
3 REQUEST SUBMITTED BY GENERAL TELEPHONE COMPANY OF
CALIFORNIA TO THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION
4
WHEREAS, General Telephone Company of California filed, on October 1, 1984,
5 a request with the California Public Utilities Commission to impose a 90 mil-
lion dollar surcharge on customers in 1985; and
6
WHEREAS, if fully approved by the Public Utilities Commission, the sur-
7 charge would increase basic rates 6.6 per month to a rate of $10.39 per month;
and
8
WHEREAS, since June 1982, the basic rate for residential telephone Ber-
g vice has risen from $6.25 to $9.75 as a result of five substantial increases
granted by the Public Utilities Commission; and
10
WHEREAS, these increases, when considered along with the most recent re-
11 quest, represent a 66.2`.; increase in rates over a two and a half year period;
and
12
WHEREAS, such increases are exhorbitant when compared to the current rate
13 of inflation and the general state of the economy; and
14 WHEREAS, there has been no perceptible improvement in service which would
warrant such large rate increase.
15

21 tion to the Public Utilities Commission, Governor Duekmejian, Senator Robert
