MEMORANDUM 09-70
Date: May 5, 2009
To: City Council
Thru: Walt Wrede
City Manager
From: Regina Harville
Finance Director
Subject: Sewer Rates – Resolution 09-48
In the original Resolution
that was put forward to Council on 5/11/2009, the rates listed on line 40 are
correct.
Lines 45 through Lines 50
were missed the first go around and the new rates were not applied to the
scenario given for Sewer system dischargers only. Using the proposed rates, this should
have been computed as
follows: $20 Customer Charge and $34.90
for Consumption Charge, for a total bill they will be receiving of $54.90.
Line 52 through Lines 59
which breaks down the charges for our Kachemak City Sewer customers were not
considered either as the new rates were not applied to this scenario. Using the proposed rates, the KC customers
will receive a bill for $20 Customer Charge and $34.90 for Consumption Charge,
and $6.00 Septic service charge, for a total bill of $60.90.
The only price difference
in these two scenarios is that the $6.00 septage cost went up from $4.39, and
was to be adjusted with the new rate increase at the year end of 2008.
The reason that this was
missed is that normally the language from lines 45 through lines 59 are listed
in the rate schedule and broken out there for our customers. This is the first time that this has been
listed as part of the rates and was over-looked.
