Re: Update fi-om Wastewater Advisory Committee regarding Uptown rates
Agenda Item #: S.i)
Background:
At the November 1, 2012 meeting of the Wastewater Advisory Committee, the committee
recommended the rates in the attached ordinance which are a base rate of$114.18/month and a
use rate of$10.71/1,000 gallons used. These rates will cover the operating expenses in 2013 and
provide a small contingency. However, the rates would not pay for any of the costs associated
with the Uptown System Improvements completed in 2012. The committee is asking that those
funds come out of the Capital Improvement Fund with no return from the rate payers.
Attached is the information presented to the committee on November 1 St. It includes a variety of
rate proposals (varying interest rate and amount of debt to be repaid to the CIP) and the
ordinance recommended by the coinmittee.
Proposal Details:
See attached.
Recommend�tion:
No action-discussion purposes only. The Uptown System customers have been notified that the
City Council will be addressing this issue at their December 18`�' regular meeting. �
