LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MAY 17, 2011 3 <br />Authorize Contracting for Professional Services for HR/Organizational & Personnel- <br />Related Matters <br /> <br />On April 19th 2011 the City Council directed staff to re-advertize the RFP. The RFP was <br />posted on the League of MN Cities’ website. Three additional proposals were received. <br /> <br />The City Council was requested to authorize a contract for Professional Services to <br />address certain organizational and personnel-related matters, as recommended by the <br />Personnel Subcommittee. The project is of limited scope and sufficient budgetary <br />resources exist within the current annual budget to cover the anticipated cost. <br /> <br />The Personnel Committee reviewed and rated the four proposals submitted: Baker Tilly, <br />Springsted, Laumeyer, and Flaherty & Hood. Springsted Inc. was rated the highest. <br /> <br />MOTION: Council Member Smith moved to authorize the Mayor and City Administrator <br />to contract with Springsted, Inc. for Professional Services to address certain <br />organizational and personnel related matters at a cost not to exceed $7,250 with all <br />reports from the Springsted study sent to the City Administrator as well as Council <br />Member Smith, Budget/Finance Subcommittee Member, and Council Member Emmons, <br />Personnel Subcommittee Member. The motion passed 4-1 (Mayor Johnston voting <br />against). <br /> <br />Commercial Water Rate Review <br /> <br />The City Council was asked to discuss staff’s evaluation of proposed alternatives to the <br />City’s water rate structure to potentially address identified concerns with respect to large <br />commercial water users. <br /> <br />Some of the identified potential alternatives to Conservation Rates include the following: <br />Seasonal Rates, Individualized Goal Rate (Water Budget Rate), and Excess Use Rates <br /> <br />Of the alternatives identified, staff recommended Council consideration of continuing <br />with a modified existing rate structure, but perhaps capping the gallons used to 150,000 <br />gallons. All domestic water consumed above 150,000 gallons would revert to the City’s <br />Bulk water rate of $3.26/one thousand gallons. Staff suggested that the domestic water <br />customer would have to demonstrate little or no irrigation use or install a separate <br />irrigation meter. <br /> <br />The new commercial structure would be as follows: <br />0 - 15,000 gallons $3.11 <br />15,002 - 30,000 gallons $3.26 <br />30,001 - 50,000 gallons $3.77 <br />50,001 - 80,000 gallons $5.00 <br />80,001 - 150,000 gallons $6.63 <br />150,000+ $3.26 (Domestic, non-irrigation usage only) <br />
