Home My WebLink AboutA001 - Council Action Form dated April 25, 2023 ITEM #: 39 DATE: 04-25-23 DEPT: W&PC COUNCIL ACTION FORM SUBJECT: WATER RATE ADJUSTMENT FOR FY 2023/24 BACKGROUND: Each year as a part of the annual budget process, staff updates a spreadsheet model for the Water and Sewer Funds that reflects current and projected operating and capital expenses for the utilities over the next ten years, and the resulting annual ending fund balance in each of the funds. This model is used to establish a long-range pattern of rate increases that will fully finance these self-funded enterprise utilities, including an operating reserve that is slowly being increased to a target of 25%. During the development of the FY 2023/24 budget, staff determined that an eight percent (8%) increase to water rates would be needed, effective July 1, 2023. While the need for an increase was shared with Council during the budget presentations, no formal action has yet been taken by Council to adjust the rates. Attached to this Council Action Form is a draft ordinance that will increase the water rates by 8%, effective for all bills mailed on or after July 1, 2023. The slides attached with this Council Action Form provide a summary of the fund balance analysis in a format that is very similar to what has been used in prior years. Highlights from these slides will be shared at the Council meeting in a brief presentation. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve first reading of an ordinance to increase water rates by eight percent (8%) effective for bills mailed on or after July 1, 2023. 2. Direct staff to modify the rate ordinance to enact some alternate rate adjustment. 3. Do not adjust water rates and instead direct staff to reduce expenditures in order to maintain a positive Water Fund balance. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: The proposed rate increases are necessary to fund the on-going operations and maintenance budget plus the anticipated capital improvements projects in the Water Utility. The recommendation is part of a consistent, predictable pattern of rate increases projected over the next ten years. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1, as described above. 1 ORDINANCE NO.
