STAFF REPORT
Sewer connection fees have ,'not been adjusted since at
least 1984. They are presently at $200.00 per bedroom, for a
single family residence. This fee would amount to $600 for a 3-
bedroom house.
We have established other fees with an automatic annual
adjustment for inflation, based upon Engineering News Record
"Construction Cost Index." In late 1983, the index was 4126.95,
and as of July, 1989, it was 4597.55. This represents an in-
crease of 11.4%. We recommend that the connection fee be
increased by 11.4% at this time, and a survey conducted to
determine if an adjustment is needed in the basic fee in order to
achieve parity with other agencies.
AS 1600 requires that a connection between any new fee or
increase in an existing fee and the service provided be shown.
Estimated costs in our Capital Improvement Program are increased
each year to account for inflation. Having made no adjustments
in the fees between late 1983 and 1989, there is an increase in
the cost of construction. The construction cost index
accordingly reflects this rise in costs as 11.4%. A current time
estimate as made by the Director of Public Services also reflects
current salary cost to provide the inspection.
The proposed resolution rescinds Resolutions No. 84-270
and 84-326. Section 1 of the proposed resolution increases the
inspection and connection fee, paid to the Director of Public
Services, from $5.00 to $15.00. The increase in the permit fee
is based on ~he actual costs to provide the service as estimated
by the Director of Public Services in the attached memo. Section
2 increases the inspection and connection fee, paid to the
Director of Public Works, from $200 to $223 per bedroom, and
provides for an annual adjustment in accordance with the
Construction Cost Index as published in the Engineering News
Record.
Section 3 makes no change in the connection fee, paid to
the General Manager of the Water Department, for construction and
improvement of the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
We recommend the increase for inflation be approved.
