Background/Discussion Fayetteville City Council approved Ordinance 4536 on December 30, 2003 implementing rate adjustments beginning February 9, 2004, after December 31 , 2004 and after December 31 , 2005 for all retail and wholesale customers of the Fayetteville sewer system. This request consists of two parts: Part 1 : Adjust the rate per 1 ,000 gallons for Elkins in compliance with the 2005 Sewer Services contract between Fayetteville and Elkins; and, Part 2 : Postpone the scheduled rate increase from December 31 , 2005 to begin after April 30, 2006. The purpose for Part 1 is compliance with a negotiated contract. The purpose of Part 2 is to enable the City to reduce monthly cost to Citizens during this heating season. The recently completed hurricane season has negatively impacted heating fuel, electric and natural gas prices nationwide. Required Procedural Actions Arkansas Code in 14-235-223 requires municipalities to: 1 . Introduce the ordinance that fixes the rates or charges; 2. Publish a notice for a public hearing one time in a newspaper published in the City; 1:\Water & Sewer\Rate Ordinance_2003\Agenda Memo Chapter 51 Revisions _2006 Rate Adjustment Postponement.doc 0 0 3 . Notice is to be published at least 10 days before the public hearing; and, 4. Pass and implement the ordinance. This section of the Arkansas Code provides that if the rate adjustment is substantially pro-rata notice is not required nor is a public hearing is required. Budget Impact The impact to the sewer revenue budget for this adjustment is approximately $209,000 with the volume charges and estimated sewer service charge reduction (fixed fees) of approximately $ 100,000 exclusive of the impact of the Elkins contract for a total of $309,000.
