The current user fees were developed based on the assumption that the administration portion of the operating budget would be funded through the General Fund. However, since FY 99-00, the Wastewater Division has been required to fund all operating costs including operation, maintenance, equipment replacement and administration expenses exclusively through user fees. This has resulted in our equipment replacement fund being drawn down much faster than anticipated. The FY 2003-04 budget currently being prepared by the administration assumes that the revised fees will be adopted. As background to the proposed rate increase, we have attached a comparison of our proposed rates to those of other jurisdictions Attachment A). We have also included worksheets describing the implications should the rate increase not be approved (Attachment B). Under separate cover, we are transmitting the proposed ordinance to the Finance Committee Chair for introduction. Your favorable consideration of this request would be greatly appreciated. Should you have any concerns, please contact me at 961-8083 or Peter Boucher at 961-8338. y ~/j~~ APPROVED: ~~ti BARBARA BELL HARRY M DIRECTOR MAYOR Cc: Parks and Environmental Management Committee Chair (w/attach) Gomm.
