O RESOLUTION 110 y APPEARS ON PAGE OP ORDINZNCE AND RESOLUTION BOOR WHOLESALE WATER RATES Mayor Martin introduced an ordinance for consideration approving the water rates for wholesale customers for a five-year period, retroactive back to August 1, 1990, and ending on January 1, 1994. Staff recommends approval of these water rates for the wholesale customers who include the City of Elkins, the City of West Fork, Mt. Olive, and the Rural Development Authority (RDA) of Washington '"November, -6, 1990 County. These rates were not adopted when the new. rates went into effect for all other customer..classes because the wholesale customers felt the rates were unfair to them. The wholesale water customers hired a consultant who found noireal issues that showed any error in the methodology used by Black & Veatch. They did recommend, however, a different methodology and allocation. The Black & Veatch methodology is therecommended methodology of the American Water Works Association: t The wholesale water rate charged,therural customer in 1990 would be $1.67/thousand gallons compared to $1:68/thousand gallons for a Fayetteville resident: --in 1991, we propose the rate to change to. $2.00/thousand gallons for wholesale rural customers as compared to $1.86/thousand for.the Fayetteville residents. This amounts to a 7.5% difference between inside residential rate and outside city wholesale water rates. ' The ordinance was readfor;the first time; Kelley, seconded by Vorsanger, made a motion to suspend the rules and place the ordinance on its second reading. Upon roll call, the motion passed unanimously. The ordinance was read for the second time. Kelley, seconded by Marinoni, made a motion to further suspend the rules and place the ordinance on its third and final reading. Upon roll call, the motion passed unanimously. The ordinance was read for the third and final time. Linebaugh summarized several points about the ordinance for the Board and the public. He stated that all discussions seem to come down to the use of the sales tax towards the rates, the amount of what the rate of return should be and what is a fair difference between the city rates and the outside city rates. Linebaugh stated that if the sales tax were taken out and that figure compared to what is being charged to the outside city customer, there is an approximate 20-30% difference. He stated that really what is to be debated is whether or not sales tax should be taken into consideration on differential rate of return. Blaine Bickel, representing Black & Veatch, the City's rate consultant, addressed the Board regarding the water rate study and answered questions about how the study was prepared and the methodologies incorporated into the document. Mayor Martin asked if the rates that have been in effect for some time now for the outside wholesale water users had a different rate of return in them. Bickel answered yes and stated that the outside city rate of return was 6% and the inside city rate of return was approximately 2.5%. Director Green questioned whether all the paid-up equity has been paid through revenue bonds or water and sewer revenues. Bickel 34:r r, November 6, 1990 answered that he believed that for the past 12-15 years, all the debt financing has been through revenue bonds. Director Vorsanger questioned if the "negative rate of return" Bickel spoke of in his presentation meant that the city has not been paying the cost of the water. Bickel answered that the reason for the negative rate of return was simply a financing mechanism, i.e., the projected use of sales tax bonds versus revenue bonds. Harley Brigham, resident on Foxhunter Road, addressed the Board regarding the water line he is connected to. He questioned what his water rats would be in relation to his residence location. It was stated that residents living in the growth area did have a somewhat higher rate than wholesale customers. Mr. Stockton, representing the Washington County RDA, addressed the Board regarding a study they had completed which was different from the study done by Black & Veatch. Linebaugh explained that the sales tax would be applied over an 18 year period and not used up by 1992 as some had mistakenly thought. There are no payments being made on the transmission facility, past or future, but the debt service is being paid on portions of the distribution line. Robert White, an engineer previously with McClelland Consulting Engineers, addressed the Board regarding opposition of the proposed water rates. Glen Billingsley, resident of outside Fayetteville, addressed the Board in regard to the proposed water rates. Richard Daugherty, resident of Board and explained that some areas surrounding Fayetteville of the rate debate. the West Fork area, addressed the of the smaller communities in the felt they are caught in the middle Jerry Paschal, representing the Mt. olive Water Association, addressed the Board regarding the proposed water rates and rates of return. Director Vorsanger, seconded by Green, made a motion to table the issue for further study. Upon roll call, the motion passed by a vote of 5 to 2. AU INDUSTRIES Mayor Martin introduced consideration of a resolution approving an agreement with AU Industries, Inc., and disbursement of $74,000.00 from the 1990 CDBG allocation. 3 at 't November 6, 1990:1 A 3' Staff recommends approval' of this.allocation which will be used for building and site improvements at the facility at 1102 Happy Hollow Road. The Board of Directors approved this allocation in November of 1989 for a 1990 expenditure. :Mayor Martin explained that AU Industries, Inc. is the,new name tor .Abilities Unlimited. Vorsanger, seconded by Kelley, made a motion to approve the resolution. Linebaugh explained that the resolution is for a new plan due to the fact that AU Industries,_Inc!, has'recently appointed a new director. The director felt that some changes in the plan needed to be .made, which will provide for increased employment. One concern voiced by the City Attorney -was if AU Industries, Inc. decided in the future to sell the structure they currently occupy, it would mean immediate cancellation of the loan. Staff suggested having some sort of lien'on the property.or`holding full title for security. Linebaugh also stated that the -proposal of a lien or title had already been suggested to the AU board and they were opposed. 1 Keith Byer, new Executive Director of -.AU Industries, Inc., addressed the Board with an explanation of why the firm was against the lien. City Attorney Rose stated that a lien or full title would just protect the City's interests against something that, more than likely, would never happen. Jan Simco stated that the conditions of a lien or full title was not included in the original draft because HUD would not require the City to do this, and she personally felt it was not something that needed to be done as it was a deferred payment grant. Byer stated that the AU board had not refused this new condition =totally, and if the City felt more comfortable to- add this provision, he would certainly present it to the AU board and they would do their best to comply. Director Lancaster, seconded by Marinoni, made a motion to amend the resolution to include Attorney Rose's recommendations for a lien. Upon roll call, the motion to amend was defeated by a vote of 5 to 2. Upon roll call, the'resolution passed by a vote of 7 to 0. RESOLUTION NO.
