RESOLUTION NO. 2005-161
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA DECLARING THE CITY'S INTENTION TO
INCREASE SEWER SERVICE CHARGES AND SETTING A
PUBLIC HEARING FOR JULY 12, 2005 AT 6:00 P.M. TO
CONSIDER SAID INCREASE
WHEREAS, the sewer service fee is paid by all users who are connected to the City's
wastewater collection system; and
WHEREAS, revenues derived from this fee are used to fund the cost of wastewater
treatment, system maintenance and operation; and
WHEREAS, on July 22, 2003, the City Council approved a new sewer service rate
structure and a four-year rate plan for Fiscal Years 2004 through 2007; and
WHEREAS, the new rate structure primarily changed the billing method for single-
family residential users from a flat-fee structure to a consumption-based structure, utilizing the
customers' winter water usage (winter average) as the basis of the rate; and
WHEREAS, after two years, staff has verified that the winter average method is an
accurate technique to determine sewer service charges, but there were early indications that the
rate structure was not meeting the program's revenue objectives/needs; and
WHEREAS, based on the findings of a follow-up study conducted by a consultant, it was
determined that, over the long term, the existing rates would not generate the revenues needed to
meet the obligations of the sewer service-related funds (i.e. for wastewater treatment and system
operation and maintenance); and
WHEREAS, the adoption of the proposed sewer rate structure, set forth in Exhibit A, will
ensure that the City recovers sufficient revenues to meet projected sewer-related expenditures for
Fiscal Years 2006 through 2010 - including reimbursements to the General Fund for the
maintenance and operation of the City's sewer collection and treatment system; and
WHEREAS, the "Proposed Monthly Service Charge" ShO~l1 on Exhibit A includes a
$0.70 storm drain fee, which is deposited into a separate fund, and will not be impacted by the
proposed rate changes to the sewer service fees.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council of the City of Chula Vista
does hereby declare the City's intention to increase and adjust sewer service fees, and set the date
for the public hearing to consider said increase/adjustment for July 12, 2005 at 6:00 p.m. in the
Council Chambers, City ofChula Vista, 276 Fourth Avenue, Chula Vista.
