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:

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.
