RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt a Resolution Amending Resolution 2009 -75,
A Resolution Approving Amendments Setting the 2010 Schedule of Rates and Fees
relating to water rates.
ISSUE
The fee schedule is updated on a yearly basis upon review of frequent fees established by City
departments. After the adoption of the 2010 Schedule of Rates and Fees in December, staff found
amendments to the resolution were necessary within the Public Works and Engineering Department fees
listing. The proposed changes are highlighted in the draft resolution attachments.
SUMMARY
Earlier this year, staff received an inquiry about the application of the new tiered water rates adopted in
December, 2009 to irrigation meters under the control of Homeowner's Associations. Irrigation meters
were not specifically addressed in the December, 2009 resolution, but rather were treated as other
residential properties.
At the June 9, 2010 Council work session, staff proposed a new rate category specifically for irrigation
meters, whether commercial or residential. After reviewing the rates of other area cities, an irrigation rate
of $2.00 per 1000 gallons was proposed. This rate is also consistent with the top commercial rate as well
as actual rates typically paid by other residential properties. Further, the top residential rate of $2.75 per
1000 gallons is proposed to be eliminated, leaving the top residential rate at $1.90 per 1000 gallons.
After discussion, Council directed staff to prepare the appropriate amendments to the water rates to be
effective immediately.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of revisions to the fee schedule for water rates to incorporate the new
irrigation meter rate and the elimination of the top rate tier rate for residential property.
