HomeMy WebLinkAbout#17 - Fee ScheduleSTAFF REPORT DATE: December 5, 2017 REGULAR ITEM # 17 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Brian A. Swanson – Finance Director AGENDA ITEM: 2018 Fee Schedule REVIEWED BY: BACKGROUND: Based on a previous City Council item on the 2018 Utility Budgets, staff outlined that fee adjustments would be brought forth for City Council consideration. As such, the City’s 2018 Fee Schedule will need to be adopted if the fee adjustments are approved. ISSUES BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL: 1) Does the City Council have any questions regarding the 2018 Proposed Utility Rates? 2) Does the City Council have any questions regarding the change to the new sod installation credit or removal of the bulk water swimming pool fill? 3) Would the City Council desire to approve the 2018 Fee Schedule? DISCUSSION: Since the last fee schedule amendment on September 5, 2017, the only fee changes being proposed pertain to utilities, which are from the Utility Financial Management Plan presented by Northland Securities at the October 3rd regular City Council meeting and City Council direction at the November 14th workshop. Below are some basic recommendations: 1) Water Fund – Proposed three percent (3%) rate increase across the base and variable rates compared from the 2017 Adopted to 2018 Proposed. Water Availability Charge (WAC) and the Water Connection Charge would remain the same. 2) Sewer Fund – Proposed one percent (1%) rate increase for the commercial usage, residential usage, and residential base fee, compared from the 2017 Adopted to 2018 Proposed. Sewer Availability Charge (SAC) and the Sewer Connection Charge would remain the same. 3) Storm Water Fund – Service fee would increase by five dollars ($5.00) from the 2017 Adopted to 2018 Proposed. Other Water Fund Changes – New Sod Installation and Swimming Pool Fill From the November 14th workshop, the City Council discussed the new sod installation and swimming pool bulk water purchases, with the former asking for a staff recommendation, and the latter providing direction. As such, here is information pertaining to each: 1) New Sod Installation – Based on City Council discussion, staff is recommending a one-time $40.00 credit be applied to the utility bill at the time of the sod installation for customers that contact the City requesting it. This recommendation is derived from the average credit applied in 2017 to customers of $41.59. 2) Swimming Pool Fill – Per City Council direction, staff is eliminating the bulk water swimming pool fill fee. Water will now be billed based on the actual usage and whichever tier the usage corresponds to. Attachment #1 outlines the complete list of utility changes being proposed to the fee schedule, which is consistent with the attached 2018 Fee Schedule. Attachment #2 outlines a sample residential property owner not on the 201 system, who has water, sewer and storm water charges, comparing the existing 2017 Utility rates to the 2018 Proposed Utility rates. Based on the attachment, the sample residential property not on the 201 system would see an annual total increase of $17.24. FISCAL IMPACT: By adopting the utility rates prosed in the 2018 Fee Schedule, this will be consistent with the long range financial management plan for the utility funds and working to achieve long-term sustainability. Regular review of the plan and utility rates are crucial to achieving the goal of long-term sustainability in the Water, Sewer and Storm Water funds for the City. RECOMMENDATION: 1) Approve Ordinance 08-191, adopted the 2018 City of Lake Elmo Fee Schedule. 2) Adopt Resolution 2017-137 Authorizing Publication of Ordinance 08-191 By Title and Summary.
