Voting No: None. <br />7.04: Introduce Ordinance #21-24: 2022 Schedule of Rates, Fees and Charges <br /> <br />City Administrator Ulrich introduced the ordinance. He noted the City Council reviewed the <br />ordinance during the work session on October 26, 2021 and several changes have been made <br />following that meeting. He explained the intention was to have a second reading and approval of <br />the ordinance prior to implementation of the rates, new rates, and charges by January 1, 2022. He <br />reviewed the staff report. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove referenced an email she sent to City Administrator Ulrich with a two- <br />part inquiry. She asked about keeping the 2021 rates for the minimum water rate at $42.15 and <br />for the odd/even violation days, if they cover staff time with the $50 first violation fee and the <br />second time with a $100 violation. She wondered about increasing each one by $25 to encourage <br />people to use the minimum amount of water. She asked City Administrator Ulrich if the water <br />rates increase every year. <br /> <br />City Administrator Ulrich replied the water rates generally go up according to inflation. The <br />minimum water rate is proposed to go from $42.15 to $43.15 per quarter and Councilmember <br />Musgrove is proposing that remain flat. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked if that goes up if it effects all the other water charges. <br /> <br />City Administrator Ulrich replied no, it would be a stand-alone change and the other water rates <br />would go up 2.5%. <br /> <br />Councilmember Riley commented that the water rates are based on a study that was done a while <br />ago with a certain amount of increase every year. The projection of funding is based on that which <br />has been a small increase. He recommended leaving the minimum increase as proposed. <br /> <br />City Council / November 9, 2021 <br />Page 19 of 26 <br /> <br />
