Item No. 8E <br />Meeting Date: November 13, 2007 <br />Type of Business: CA <br />WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; <br />CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business <br />City Administrator Review _______ <br /> City of Mounds View Staff Report <br /> <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Michael Schnur, Lead Utility Operator <br /> <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 7181 Approving a Contract Award for <br />the 2008, 2009, and 2010 Residential Water <br />Service Repair Program <br /> <br />Background: <br />In September of 2000, the City Council approved the “Water Service Repair <br />Policy” in which $4.00 was collected on each single family, duplex, townhouse <br />and condominium’s quarterly utility bill. This fee is to be used when a single- <br />family, duplex, townhouse or condominium’s water service needed to be repaired <br />or replaced. This alleviated the responsibility of the property owner in locating, <br />hiring and paying a contractor to repair their water service. It also ensured that <br />the repair would be completed in a timely manner to minimize the loss of un- <br />metered water. The cost was approximately $2,000.00 for each repair in 2000. <br /> <br />Below is a financial review of the Residential Water Service Repair Program. <br />The following is a summary of expenditures and revenue of the program over the <br />last three years. <br /> <br />2005 <br /> <br />Revenue <br />Collected <br />Repair Costs in 2005 Revenue for the <br />Program <br />Total Repairs <br />Made <br />$47,412.79 $35,401.88 $12,010.91 10 by Contractor <br />0 by City <br /> <br />2006 <br /> <br />Revenue <br />Collected <br />Repair Costs in <br />2006 <br />Revenue for the <br />Program <br />Total Repairs <br />Made <br />$46,977.28 $53,727.91 ($6,750.63) – net <br />loss <br />12 by Contractor <br />1 by City *** <br /> <br />
