CONSUMPTION BASED SANITARY SEWER RATE
Fiscal and Support Services Director Dan Jordet discussed that staff had prepared three different
scenarios for changing the sanitary sewer rates for residential properties from a flat rate system
to a consumption based system. He outlined the three models that would change the charge for
sewer service based on the amount of water used in the winter quarter of the billing year with a
low -base fee of $10, a mid -base fee of $20, and a high -base fee of $30. There was discussion
regarding the presented scenarios and also the outcome of staying with a flat rate, adjusting the
flat rate between classes, and the possibility of developing a hybrid flat rate (if the current
software will support one). There was consensus of the Council to stay with a flat rate and to
discontinue development of any alternate sewer rate model.

Council Work Session at 9:45 p.m.
