DATE: October 9, 1990
SUBJECT: City Council Meeting, October 11, 1990
ITEC[: 16.A. Consider an ordinance adopting water and wastewater
utility rates. (Second Reading)
STAFF RESOURCE PERSON: Bob Bennett/David Kautz
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff has met with all Councilmembers on an individual basis and at special
called work sessions. In light of those meetings we offer the following re-
commendation on utility rates. Increase the average residential utility
bill (water & wastewater) by 4.6% this year and 4.9% the following year.
Under this plan, only the volume charge is to be afffected. The monthly
minimum remains as is.
ANALYSIS: The City has $4.2M in unrestricted cash and can continue to sub-
sidize the Utility System by using a portion of the $4.2M principal over the
next 2 years.
It must be kept in mind that as the $4.2M principal is spent down we will
earn less interest from the principal. We are currently using the interest
from this principal to enhance utility revenues.
In the mid 1990's the Utility System must add capital facilities that will
cost in excess of 8 million dollars. The less we spend of our unrestricted
cash now the more we will have to spend on capital facilities. By avoiding
indebtedness and as much additional bonds as we can the cheaper our future
water rates will be.
The bond rating houses are keenly aware of our utility rate situation and
are asking that we show them our utility "game plan" after it is developed
by the City.
Please see the attached detail concerning the proposed utility rate plan.
