� 2. Adopt Resolution 2009-066, Regarding Water and Sanitary Sewer Utility and Recycling
Rate Increases (CR2009-108)
December 15, 2009 City Council Meeting Minutes Page 1
In 2007, staff prepared a Utility Master Plan. The plan covers debt and capital requirements of the
water sanitary sewer systems for the next 10 years. As a result of that plan, staff presented a �
schedule for rate adjustments over that same period of time. The rate adjustments will allow the
City to maintain the system and cover the cost of capital improvements. �
,,�,,
The current recycling rates do not fully fund the cost of the recycling program. Currently the refuse
disposal fees are subsidizing the recycling program in addition to the yard waste/leaf, bulk and
brush collection programs. Even with the proposed recycling rate increase, a deficit of $22,000 is
projected for the 2010 recycling program.
Council Member Brausen moved and Council Member Rowan seconded a motion to adopt
Resolution 2009-066 which increases water, sanitary sewer and recycling rates effective for
service provided in January 2010 and billed in February 2010. A poll of the vote was as follows:
Council Member Youakim, aye; Council Member Brausen, aye; Council Member Rowan, aye;
,
Council Member Halverson, aye; Mayor Maxwell, aye. The motion carried unanimously.
