PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
The water and wastewater rate and fee structure was approved as a three year incremental rate adjustment by Council on April 14, 2008, for fiscal years 2009, 2010, and 2011. However, staff has determined it necessary to adjust the final year of the rate and fee structure. The proposed amended rates include an increase in wastewater monthly volume charges and minumum charges that are needed to fund a wastewater study that will address future Federal wastewater regulations. The proposed rates also include a decrease in water monthly volume charges and minimum charges due to deferring capital projects because of lower than anticipated growth. A public hearing is required per MCA 69-7-111. The attached resolution specifies the amended rates and fees.
ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED
The City Council may:
- Approve the resolution
- Disapprove the resolution
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The proposed rate and fee amendments will generate approximately $208,000 in additional wastewater revenues and reduce water revenues by approximately $200,000 for FY 2011.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing and approve the proposed resolution amending the water and wastewater rate and fee schedule.
