Background/Discussion
On October 26, 2020, Ordinance 6425 was approved to amend Title 2 Revenue and Finance, Chapter 2.08 “Schedule of Fees” by amending Section 2.08.050 “Fees and charges authorized in Title 5 Sewers”.
The ordinance updated sewer rates for residential, commercial, and industrial customers to address increases in operation and maintenance costs and the replacement of aging infrastructure.
Included in the updates were increases to the monthly residential flat rate sewerage service charge and residential minimum sewerage service charge. The units of measure were inadvertently changed to per 100 cubic feet, but should have remained as per residential unit.
Due to the timing of this amendment and the required city council hearings, the April 1, 2021 effective date for the rate increase is no longer feasible. For consistency, the new proposed effective date for all residential sewer rate increases for the first year have been revised to May 1, 2021.
It is requested that the 3rd Reading be waived due to the minor correction that is proposed.
