SUBJECT: Proposed Utility Rate Increases
Ordinance 1086 - Water, Sewer and Refuse Rates and Fees
Resolution 2016 -12 -- Water, Sewer and Refuse Rates and Fees
Resolution 2016 -13 - Stormwater System Service Charges
DATE: August 12, 2016
BACKGROUND:
As was presented to Council in May, July, and August, in order for the City to comply with both
City Ordinance and Oklahoma Water Resources Board loan requirements, staff proposes
effective October 1, 2016, a five -year plan to increase water, sewer, refuse, and stormwater
rates to eliminate the deficit budget and to recover expected cost increases.
The proposed revenue increases were computed based on assumptions regarding both annual
increased costs of labor and materials and also 3% annual increased costs of water purchased
from the City of Tulsa. Since actual cost increases will differ from projections, the City will review
and report each year to Council, prior to the presentation of the annual budget the progress
towards elimination of the budget deficit and restoration of a fund balance between 10% and
15% of annual revenues. Staff will also annually outline OPWA capital project needs and present
a timeline and estimated cost of projected construction.
If the fund balances of the Owasso Public Works Authority and Stormwater funds fall outside of
the targeted range or if additional circumstances change such as identification of critical
capital projects, Council may amend the rate plan as necessary with publication of the
proposed rates and at least 30 days' notice to customers.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of Ordinance 1086 amending Sections 17 -109, 17-1 10(A) and 17 -203
deleting water, sewer, and refuse rates and directing that rates and service charges be fixed by
Council resolution.
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 2016 -12 establishing water, sewer, refuse, and
metered fire hydrant rates for the next five years beginning October 1, 2016.
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 2016 -13 adopting rates for Stormwater system service.
