In Fiscal Year 2004 the City Council established General Fund funding to help low- income households pay their monthly stormwater utility fee, similar to an existing discount given to refuse collection customers that was funded by refuse collection fees. As part of the FY21 budget process the City Council approved extending this general fund benefit to the Water and Sanitary Sewer City run utilities and to switch the funding for the refuse collection discount from the refuse fund to the General Fund. An ordinance change is necessary to ensure consistency across enterprises. The attached ordinance language directs the City Manager to develop a policy for evaluating cases of extreme financial hardship, whereby the City Manager would have the ability to make adjustments in the residential rate as determined by the terms and conditions of the adopted policy. The low-income discounts will be approved based on the following criteria and generally the attached form: City of Dubuque Reduced Utility Fee Policy • Residents of the City of Dubuque • Individually billed residential account holders/customers — billed to resident of unit (Bill covers a single unit or a duplex in which the property owner resides in one -unit) • Extreme financial hardship • Authority to require such proof of financial status or extreme hardship • Annual income equal to or less than the income standards used by HUD for its "Section 8 Housing Program" for the size of that household may, upon application to the City Manager or designee, receive a credit for up to one-half (1/2) the established base rate, the actual credit being subject to: o The number of credits available o Income of applicants o Number of applicants o Budgeted/available funds. • City reserves the right to limit the number of credits available and adjust the amount of credit received based on the income of applicants, number of applicants and available funds • An annual application shall be made by the account holder of the City of Dubuque utility bill for the premises to verify annual income and eligibility. This policy and the application form are subject to revision by the City Manager from time to time. I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council approval. 7' Mic ael C.

Van Milligen, City Manager John Klostermann, Public Works Director JK Establishing an Ordinance Change to City of Dubuque Code of Ordinances Section 13-6A-6, Rates and Charges Established; Exceptions May 26, 2020 INRODUCTION The purpose of this memorandum is to recommend a language change to Section 13-6A- 6, "Rates and Charges Established; Exceptions" of the City of Dubuque Code of Ordinances. DISCUSSION In FY04, the City Council established non-stormwater utility funding to help low-income households pay their monthly stormwater utility fee. As part of the FY21 budget process the City Council approved extending this benefit to other City run utilities. An ordinance change is necessary to ensure consistency across enterprises. The attached ordinance language directs the City Manager to develop a policy for evaluating cases of extreme financial hardship, whereby the City Manager would have the ability to make adjustments in the residential rate as determined by the terms and conditions of the adopted policy. In conjunction with the proposed Reduced Utility Fee Policy, changes to section 13-6A-6 Section 3 Class I Premises Exceptions, paragraph b. and c. noted language change are recommended. In addition, a rate correction is recommended to C. Class III Premises: 2. Solid Waste Cart Subscriptions: a. Mandatory Subscription Alleys: (2) Mandatory Alley Fees. This change was missed when setting the solid waste fees for Fiscal Year 2021. This correction will make the fees mirror other similar sections in the code. The proposed changes are shown in the attachment provided. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended the attached proposed ordinance be submitted to the City Council for adoption. cc: Crenna Brumwell, City Attorney Anderson Sainci, Resource Management Coordinator & Supervisor Arielle Swift, Assistant Public Works Director 2 Masterpiece ❑n the Mississippi 2020 APPLICATION FOR REDUCED UTILITY FEES Utility Billing Office City Hall 50 West 13th St. PO Box 1063 Dubuque, IA 52001 563-589-4144 The ordinances which establish monthly utility fees allow for a reduction of base fees for residential premises.
