DIRECTORS PRESENT:Evelyn Hart,Chairwoman,Philip Maurer,Thomas Riley DIRECTORS ABSENT:None STAFF MEMBERS PRESENT:J.Wayne Sylvester,Assistant General Manager, William H.Butler,Secretary OTHERS PRESENT:Mrs.Thomas Riley Staff Report re Proposed 1983—84 The Assistant General Manager reviewed the User Fees District’s existing user fee program that was initiated in fiscal year 1981—82 and revised last year to incorporate a fee for multi—unit parcels.The purpose of the user fee program is to make up the shortfall of ad valorem tax revenues experienced by the District since the 1981—82 fiscal year and provide necessary financing for operations as well as major rehabilitation work on the District’s sewer system.The following fees are currently in effect: SINGLE UNIT PARCELS (Established 1981—82) CONNECTED 1982-83 CHARGE METER SIZE MONTHLY AVERAGE ANNUAL FEE 1”or less $2.20 $26.40 1½”4.37 52.50 2”8.75 105.00 3”17.50 210.00 4”35.00 420.00 6”70.00 840.00 8”140.00 1,680.00 MULTI-UNIT PARCELS (Established in 1982—83) PER UNIT $1.32 $15.85 —1— District 5 6/22/83 Mr.Sylvester indicated it was anticipated when the user fee program was originally adopted in 1981 that it would be necessary to increase the feds by as much as 77% commencing with the second year of the program to finance ongc~ing sy~tem rehabilitation projects.However,deferment of expenditures ~nd higher than expecte interest earnings enabled the District to forego an increase ~n these fees for the 1982—83 fiscal year.Mr.Sylvester further reported that based upon staff review of the cash flow projections prepared for the preliminary 1983—84 budget,it appears that the District can again forego an increase in the user fe~for ~-h.e 1983—84 fiscal year.The District has received extremely favorable bids on its rehabilitation projects since 1981,and the delay of completion of the advanced treatment facilities at Plant No.2 has also resulted in avoidance of increased operations and maintenance costs over the past two years.These factors,combined with receipt of higher than anticipated levels of ad valorem tax revenues over the past two years,will allow the District to delay increasing the current use fee schedule until the 1984—85 fiscal year.
