RESOLUTION NO. 2004-051
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHUIA VISTA AUTHORIZING STAFF TO PROCEED WITH
AN UPDATE OF THE 2003 SEWER SERVICE RATE STUDY
WHEREAS, on June 3, 2003, Council accepted the 2003 Sewer Service Rate Study,
prepared by PBS&J (Resolution No. 2003-240), and shortly thereafter, on July 22, 2003,
approved a new sewer service rate structure (Resolution No. 2oo3-321); and
WHEREAS, on July 1, 2oo3, the City's new sewer service rate structure went into effect;
which primarily changed the billing structure for single-family dwellings from a flat fee structure
to a water-consumption based structure; and
WHEREAS, at the October 7, 2003 City Council meeting, the City Council directed staff
to re-examine the rate structure and verify that it had been properly implemented; and
WHEREAS, considering the number of single-family sewer customers in the City
(38,500+), the rate restructuring has not caused a widespread amount of concern -less than 0.1 %
have complained; and
WHEREAS, staff has also been monitoring the performance of the new rates since their
implementation and it has become evident that they are not generating the anticipated revenue;
and
WHEREAS, staff wishes to retain another rate consultant, which has done similar studies
and is experienced in peer review, to conduct an independent re-evaluation of the new rate
structure.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Chula
Vista hereby authorizes staff to proceed with an update and re-evaluation of the 2003 Sewer Rate
Study.
