I I I I :1 I I I I ! I November 13, 1995 Mr. Richard NYbeck Anoka-Hennepi;n School District #11 11299 Hanson Boulevard Coon Rapids, MN 55433 RE: RAMSEY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL EXPANSION Dear Mr. Nybeek: As you are aware, the City and school district have been working cooperatively for the past year to address the issues involving the expansion of Ramsey Elementary School. One of the major elements of the expansion has been the extension of municipal sewer and water service to the existing school land its expansion. Water service has been made awil_~ble to the school as of September 1, 1995 and sanitary sewer service was connected on October 16, 1995. At this point, I would like to summarize the City's charges to the school associated with the connection of these services. SAC and WAC Fees The SAC (Sewer Availability Charge) is a fee which is collected by the City to be paid to the Metropolitan Council - Environmental Services Division. The charge is based on a current utility rate of $850.00i per REC (residential equivalent). City policy requires a SAC handling fee of $175.00 per REC. The City charges a WAC (Water Availability Charge) of $1300.00 per REC to defray supply and storage elements of the water system. The City uses the ~me basis for determining WAC units as Metropolitan Council uses for SAC units. The determination of the number of RECq and associated charges for the school are as follows: Existing Building 24 Classrooms 1995 Expansion 21 Classrooms Total 45 Classrooms 45 classrooms x 30 students/rooms .2 'I8 students/REC =' 75 R_ECs Met Council SAC Charge City SAC Charge City WAC Charge Total SAC & WAC Charges 75x$850 = $63,750 75x$175 = $13,125 75 x$1300 = $97,500 $174,375
