RECOMMENDATION City Administration recommends approval of an ordinance changing the volume based rates for sewer service for customers outside the City of Fayetteville from $7. 16/ 1 ,000 gallons to $4.66/1 ,000 gallons, and an announcement of a public hearing discussing this rate change on April 3, 2007, during the City Council meeting. BACKGROUND The City of Fayetteville, based on agreements with Farmington and Greenland, and in accordance with applicable state codes and industry standards, establishes rates based on the cost of service. For rates outside of the city limits of Fayetteville, these rates include a provision for a return on investment. In 2003, Black and Veatch conducted a rate study for the City of Fayetteville that established the rate structure that was enacted at that time and is in place today. State codes dictate a schedule and sequence of events for any change in sewer rates. These require that the rate change ordinance be read, a public hearing be scheduled and announced, the ordinance be published, and the public hearing take place at least ten days after the initial reading and publication of the ordinance. The rate ordinance can be approved any time after the public hearing. Farmington and Greenland have established additional sewer charges of $0. 17/ 1 ,000 gallons and $0.40/ 1 ,000 gallons respectively for sewer service in their cities. These funds are remitted to the respective cities, and are independent of this change in sewer rates. DISCUSSION Contract negotiations with the City of Farmington included discussion of sewer rates for customers in that City. Through agreement between the negotiating teams from both Cities, the volume based sewer rates for customers outside the City of Fayetteville are being changed from the current rate of $7. 16 per 1 ,000 gallons to a rate of $4.66 per 1 ,000 gallons. Only volume based rates will be changed; the monthly sewer service charge based on meter size shall remain the same. This rate change has no impact on customers inside the City of Fayetteville. BUDGETIMPACT This rate change will not result in any increased costs to the City of Fayetteville. It will result in a reduction of approximately $330,000 From budgeted revenues for 2007.
