Subject: CDD Meeting tomorrow
Hello everyone,we discovered an error in the resolution we adopted increasing rates for utilities at the
September 2014 meeting.The rates included in the adopted Resolution 2014-6 had the wrong rates for water
and sewer charges.The problem occurred in 1999 when the BOS amended the rates and changed the basis for
rates to assessments and a higher usage or consumption charge.The rates were changes as follows:
• Water,sewer and irrigation had a standby fee based upon ERC plus a commodity or usage rate based
upon 1,000 gallon increments.The standby fee per ERC was at$5.53 for water,$8.08 for sewer and
$9.03 for irrigation.
• The BOS went to eliminating the monthly standby charge and incorporated those expenses in the annual
assessments.
• The water consumption charges were then increased from$1.39 to$2.33;sewer rates went from$3.77
to$4.77 and irrigation went to a usage charge of$0.52 per 1,000 gallons.
Then in 2010 the rates for irrigation and the charges for meters and backflows were increased but not sewer and
water.The resolution adopted,2010-1 included all of the changes in the rates requested but the water and
sewer hadn't been codified so they were carried in the resolution approved and then in 2014 it was included
here. Helena caught this and after researching it Dan and I both agree that we need to re-advertise the rate
changes with the new rates.This is an expense that Severn Trent will absorb as it was our fault back in 1999
when this amendment was approved.There is no problem with any actions prior to this and all rates that were
established by the BOS has been charged. Unfortunately though,this time we need to correct the rate structure
for this increase.Therefore we are suggesting the following action at the meeting tomorrow:
• Adopt Resolution 2014-10 which rescinds Resolution 2014-6 with the wrong rates.
• Severn Trent will advertise the rate change public hearing for the September 19th meeting and the BOS
will be presented Resolution 2014-11 amending the fee schedule for utility rates requests.
I am sorry for the problem and if anyone would like to see the various Resolutions I will have them with me
tomorrow. I have attached the two proposed resolutions for your review.2014-10 needs to be approved
tomorrow and 2014-11 which has the correct rates will be presented at the September meeting.
