2019 Fee Schedule <br />Page 2 <br />CITY WAC AND SAC CHARGES <br />Language has been added to the trunk fee line items. Trunk fees for water and sewer are based on the number of SAC <br />charges as determined by the preliminary justification report. The connection fees are then based on the number of <br />SAC charges as determined by MCES. <br />UTILITY METER RELATED: <br />The water meter rental fees have been adjusted to account for fluctuating prices from the supplier. For those common <br />meter sizes the dollar amount has been listed on the fee schedule. The fee is basically cost plus 10%. For uncommon <br />meter sizes the amount will be determined when we order it (but still based on cost plus 10%). The cost of renting a <br />hydrant meter stays at $20 per day but the cost per thousand gallons has been increased to the current city irrigation <br />rate. <br />The cost of providing a water shut-off cap remains at $20 per cap, but a new line item has been added for repair lids <br />stemming from customer damage. The cost of driveway curb stop covers (also called Ford-T or top hat) has increased <br />to $100. <br />CONCLUSION <br />Staff is cognizant that fees cannot be excessive. In fact, state law restricts the setting of fees in excess of the cost of <br />providing the corresponding service and in some instances the fees are contained in state statutes. The Finance <br />Department has thoroughly reviewed each of our fees to ensure compliance with state restrictions. <br />To reiterate, the City Council directed staff to review these fees and recommend changes annually. The Finance <br />Department recommends adoption of the fee schedule for 2019 as proposed. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />Ordinance Setting 2019 Fees, Rates and Charges <br />Summary Ordinance for Publication <br />
