C. Ordinance 2021-05 An Ordinance Amending Multiple Sections of Chanter 33 Sewer,
Water, License and Permit Fees, Storm Water Facilities.
City Manager Yunker reviewed the recommended utility rates for 2022 builds on the multi -year
approach towards rate adjustments that began in 2012. The parameters used for adjusting rates
are:
• Align revenue sources with corresponding costs.
• Provide transparency as to the basis of rates and rate adjustments.
• Maintain a structural balanced operation.
• Ensure that rates appropriately support the ability to:
o Provide safe drinking water.
o Properly discharge sanitary sewer flows.
o Appropriately control and treat stormwater runoff.
As part of the annual rate adjustment process the water production and distribution costs are
categorized as fixed in nature or usage driven. The 2022 budgeted water costs are comprised of
$777,964 in fixed costs and $962,507 in usage driven costs. The proposed 2022 water rates were
reviewed.
As part of the annual rate adjustment process the sewer treatment and collection system costs are
categorized as fixed in nature or flow volume driven. The 2022 budgeted sewer costs are
comprised of $520,157 in fixed costs and $768,737 in flow volume driven costs (usage). The
proposed 2022 sewer rates were reviewed.
The multi -year approach to Stormwater rates in place since 2012 called for an annual increase
for single family residential (classifications 2 & 3) of thirty-five cent ($.35) increase. This
represents a 2.08% increase in rate and should generate $4,310 in additional revenues (majority
of new construction expected to be billable in 2023). The 2.08% rate increase will be applied to
