SUBJECT:

Res 25-18 Amend Fee Schedule for Sanitary Sewer Use Charges for Hauled Waste Charges

BACKGROUND

At the December 10, 2024 meeting Finance brought forward the recommended sanitary sewer rates to be put into effect as of January 1, 2025. Resolution 24-683 passed at that meeting. Unfortunately, there was a typo in the rate schedule that was attached to that resolution. So, Finance is bringing this resolution forward to correct the attachment that was approved in December.

ANALYSIS

SANITARY SEWER UTILITY
In 2024, the sanitary sewer rates were increased as of January 1, 2024 and also as of April 1, 2024. The April increase was due to the special assessment decision that the Council had made. As you can see on the attachment, the Hauled Waste Charges incorrectly listed the January 1, 2024 rates instead of the April 1, 2024 rates. We were not proposing to change these rates for 2025, but leave them the same as what is currently being charged. However, the wrong rate was shown in the previous attachment.

FISCAL IMPACT

There is no fiscal impact for this change. The updated attachment shows the Hauled Waste Charges at the current rates that were in place as of April 1, 2024.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that Council pass the sewer rate schedule for 2025.
