INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to submit to you a copy of the proposed ordinance
changes and a recommendation that ordinance changes anticipated for FY2014 take
effect on July 1, 2012.
DISCUSSION
In our budget request for FY2014 we are requesting a 17% sewer rate increase. The
effect of the amendment changes, based upon the 17% increase, is on the attached
page. The ordinance changes would revise Section 13- 2C -3(B) and Section 13 -2C-
3(C)(7) of the Code of Ordinances increasing basic wastewater charges for residential,
commercial and minor industrial users from $3.41 to $3.99 per ccf, rate per each gallon
from $ .00456 to $ .00533.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that you approve the proposed ordinance changes and submit them to the
City Council for approval at their February 28, 2013 budget hearing.
