The agreement is being updated due <br />to changes in the ownership parties, and was revisited in structure by the owners and staff to facilitate <br />the City taking over maintenance activities for the area to be maintained up the standard of a City park. <br />Staff believes this will better meet the expectations of the residents and will be more efficient overall. <br />Council discussed the existing arrangement and asked questions around the concrete remediation work <br />that needs to be competed. Staff noted that the remediation is the responsibility of the City and by <br />having the City maintain the area, the useful life of the infrastructure will be extended. Council directed <br />staff to bring the agreement to a regular Council meeting for approval. <br />Utility Rates: <br />Shelly Rueckert reviewed the draft 2022 Utility Rates, and the long-term plan that has led to the <br />proposed rate structure. Most notably the implementation of a “flat-fee” to reflect the fixed costs in the <br />system, and relying on usage rates for the variable/usage costs in the system. <br />Council discussed the proposed rates and noted that the rate survey compiled by staff and directed staff <br />to bring the rates forward to the next regular Council meeting to begin the adoption process. <br />Future Work Session: <br />Council will hold its next work session on November 9th, at 5:45pm in the Council Chambers. <br />Adjournment: <br />The meeting adjourned at 6:52 p.m. <br />Respectfully submitted by Charlie Yunker, City Manager.
