ITEM TITLE Ord' nance - Providing for an Increase in Sewer Service
��la) Charges to Take Effect Immediately

SUBMITTED BY Director of Public Works/City Engineer �
ITEM EXPLANATION (4/5TH'S VOTE REQUIRED YES X NO )
City Council at its conference of June 19, 1978 directed that
staff prepare an ordinance which would increase sewer service
charges to a level which would support the City' s total sewage
collection and treatment operation.
The proposed ordinance increases the basic sewer service charge
for single family dwelling units from $2 . 25 to $3. 00 per month
per unit. It also proportionately increases the rate for mul-
tiple residential commercial and industrial users from $0. 18 to
$0.24 for each 100 cubic feet of water usage.
Through approval of this ordinance the cost of sewer service
will be borne entirely through user charges. In the past that �
cost has been paid through a combination of general tax monies
and user charges. The new basis of charging will be in con-
formity with impending federal requirements to eliminate the
use of ad valorum taxes as a means of financing sewage collec-
tion/treatment costs.
The ordinance includes provisions that the new rate will be
applied to the first whole billing period subsequent to July 1, 1978.
