RES 2008-68 - 14570RESOLUTION NO. 2008 - 68
RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR WATER STRUCTURE AND RATE CHANGE
WHEREAS, Section 402.13 of the City Code provides that the City Council shall have the authority to set water
rates by resolution, and
WHEREAS, the Minnesota Statutes, section 103G.291, was amended in 2008 requiring that public water suppliers
serving more than 1,000 people adopt water rate structures that encourage conservation by January 1, 2010, and
WHEREAS, the City Council has studied its current water rate structure and finds that it is not in compliance with
the newly enacted changes to Minnesota Statutes, section 103G.291, and
WHEREAS, the City conducted a study of various rate structures in order to be compliant with a conservation rate
structure and continue to provide sufficient revenues to cover the cost of delivering water to homes and businesses
within the City of Fridley, and
WHEREAS, the study identified a number of continuing major capital improvements that are necessary for the cost
effective delivery of water to those homes and businesses served by the system, and
WHEREAS, the revenues provided through a new rate structure must be sufficient to provide for the increased cost
of these capital improvements, and
WHEREAS, it is necessary to provide an increase of revenue in order to replenish the cash balance to provide for
adequate cash flow and avoid future short term borrowing, and
WHEREAS, the following conservation based rate structure and rates are to be effective with the January, 2009
billing.
