MEMORANDUM
TO: CHAIRMAN AND TRUSTEES
OWASSO PUBLIC WORKS AUTHORITY
FROM: RODNEY J RAY
CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: REQUEST BY UTILITY CUSTOMER TO ADDRESS TRUSTEES IN
REFERENCE TO WATER RATES
DATE: September 15, 1995
BACKGROUND:
Mr Bill Witt has requested an opportunity to address the Trustees on an issue relating to water
rates. Mr Witt lives in the Pleasant View subdivision, a subdivision of Tulsa County not
included within the corporate city limits of the City of Owasso. Even though the subdivision
is not in the city limits, the residents are served water through the city's water distribution
system. Mr Witt's request to address the Trustees is related to the disparity in water rates
within the subdivision.
As the Trustees know, those persons who were Rogers County Rural Water District Customers
and became Owasso water customers upon the acquisition of a portion of the district by the city,
have "protected" rates by virtue of the language contained in the contract for the purchase of the
area. The contract specifically protects those residents who were customers of the district from
any rate other than the rates paid by the "in- city" customers. New customers, however, are not
protected from the "rural rates" as established by resolution (Those rates are 71.37 % higher than
the "in- city" rates).
Mr Witt is a resident of the area acquired from Rogers Rural Water District and became a
customer of the Owasso water system after the city purchased the area from RRWD. Because
he became a customer after the acquisition date and because he was not a RRWD customer, he
is being charged at the rural rates.
Based on conversations with Mr Witt, it is apparent he believes that the differing rates are unfair
and that all of the customers should pay the same "in -city" rate. The staff researched the
records to determine if the rates in the subdivision could be equalized. Based on the information
from that review, it was concluded that the staff lacked the authority to make such a decision.
Further, the City Attorney, after a review, also believes such an action would require a Trustee
policy change.
CUSTOMER REQUEST TO ADDRESS TRUSTEES
IN REFERENCE TO WATER RATES
September 15, 1995
Page 2
ANTICIPATED REOUEST:
It is anticipated that the Trustees will be asked to revise the current rate structure and take action
to place all customers in the Pleasant View subdivision on the same water rate.
AVAILABLE OPTIONS:
Option #1 - Take no action and leave rates as they are. Such action would serve to preserve
the original agreement with RRWD #3 and will continue the practice of protecting
the former RRWD customers from higher rates, while requiring all new water
customers to pay rural rates. Fiscal Impact - NONE.
Option #2 - Amend OPWA Resolution #93 -05 and City Ordinance #471 (see attached) to
allow all customers residing outside the corporate city limits to have "in- city"
water rates. Such action would have the effect of reducing the rates of all the
277 existing rural rate customers. Fiscal Impact - $59,000 reduction in revenue Pr
from water sales.
mi
Option #3 - Amend OPWA Resolution #93 -05 and City Ordinance #471 (see attached) to
allow new customers in the Pleasant View subdivision to have "in- city" water
rates. Such action would have the effect of equalizing the rates within the
subdivision and avoid the situation of having neighbors with different water rates.
Fiscal Impact - Based on existing customers on rural rate (3), the staff estimates
a loss of $484.14 per year in revenue from water sales. (Note - As the number
of new customers in Pleasant View increases, the revenue loss will increase.)
COMMENTS:
1. OPWA Resolution #93 -05 and Ordinance #471 are very specific and intended to require all
new customers in the area acquired from RRWD to pay the rural rates established by the
Trustees and City Council.
2. To have different water rates for neighbors is not a good situation and will always foster
complaints of inequity and unfairness.
3. To allow only new customers in Pleasant View a protection from rural rates will
undoubtedly result in a tremendous outcry from the 277 existing rural customers. Protests of
unfairness will be assured.
CUSTOMER REQUEST TO ADDRESS TRUSTEES
IN REFERENCE TO WATER RATES
September 15, 1995
Page 3
4. To reduce all rural rates to "in- city" rates at one time will place a difficult fiscal burden on
the OPWA Fund at a time when the staff objective is to try to replace a $50,000 subsidy from
the OPWA to the city in 94 -95 to held the city offset a revenue shortfall. Additionally, the
OPWA Fund anticipates a major capital acquisition (refuse truck - $115,000) out of operating
revenues this year.
CONCLUSION:
The staff conclusion is that the Pleasant View situation is not desirable, but the alternatives are
even more undesirable. The rate policy should be left in place, as is.

Subject; Water rates - rural rate vs city rate
i live at 9403 N 136th E Ave in pleasant view
estates addition and i moved in oct. 1994. we are paying
the much higher rural rate because of a "grandfather clause:
white familites that are uder this clause pay the lower city rate.
This is not right, we all get our water from the same supply
and we should all pay the same rate.
i would like the opportunity to discuss this
with the council.

MEMORANDUM
TO: RODNEY J. RAY
CITY MANAGER
FROM: F. ROBERT CARR
PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: REQUEST TO AWARD CONTRACT FOR RESIDENTIAL REFUSE
COLLECTION CONTAINERS
DATE: September 13, 1995
BACKGROUND:
Annually, the Owasso Public Works Authority solicits bids for the purchase of carts to be used
in the residential refuse collection program. The plastic cart collection system has proven to be
successful and cost - effective by providing a uniform container that is sturdy, easily identifiable
and is compatible with the one -man per route side - loading refuse collection vehicle system.
Through the bid process, the city has been able to obtain a consistent price per cart unit and
maintain a supply of carts for replacement needs and to supply new customers.
Staff solicited bids for the bulk purchase of green refuse carts for use in residential trash
collection and red carts for use by yardwaste separation customers. The specifications (see
attachment) requested a unit price bid for each color of 90- gallon cart. The carts will be ordered
in a minimum of fifty (50) unit quantities. The bid price per cart and the price of replacement
parts is guaranteed for any orders placed until June 30, 1996.
The proposed contract guarantees a fixed price for FY 95 -96, regardless of the number of carts
ordered. Therefore, staff will not request Trustee approval for the purchase of carts again until
next fiscal year. Payment for a bulk purchase must be approved by the Trustees.
' Following publication of the notice to bid and mailing of the bid packet to 10 prospective
bidders, three actual bids were received by the bid date of September 12, 1995. The following
bids were received:

BID INFORMATION:
Carts bid by IPL Products, Ltd. and Solid Waste Systems do not meet the required
specifications. The brochures provided with the bid submittal showing the cart specifications
for their product were not consistent with the requirement that "...the tub bottom of the cart is
to be a minimum of six (6) inches above the ground and protected" (specification item number
6). Similar carts had been bid in 1993 and 1994 and rejected for not meeting bid specifications.
Williams Refuse Equipment Co., Inc. submitted a bid based on the Poly -Cart 2000, which meets
the required specifications. These carts are presently being used in the Owasso collection
system.
The 1994 prices for the carts supplied by Williams Refuse Equipment were $59.00 for green
carts and $61.00 for red carts. Therefore, the price has increased by $0.50 per cart.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Trustee award of the residential refuse collection container (polycart) contract
to Williams Refuse Equipment Co., Inc., Owasso, Oklahoma for a time period through June 30,
1996 to supply residential refuse containers consistent with bid specifications at a cost of $59.50
per green cart and $61.50 per red cart and for Trustee authorization for the payment of $5,950
for the purchase of an initial order of 100 green carts.

Poly-Kart'-60&90

2000 Series
The Poly- KartTM system has proved itself across
the country for more than two decades. Its efficiency has
helped municipal managers and private haulers turn
waste collection into a business far more predictable
and, therefore, more manageable than ever before.
Saves labor, fuel, tune. Collection will take fewer
trucks, each operating more quickly with less idling
time. You can reduce the number of employees and the
number of hours each spends on a route.
Reduces back injuries. Lowers workers comp rates.
Poly- Kart'sTm hydraulic collection method reduces
strain on the collectors' backs and increases sanitation.
You'll see employee downtime reduced and probably
can merit lower workers compensation rates.
Attracts more dependable workers. By omitting the
back - breaking chores and improving work conditions,
crews feel better on the job and feel better about the job.
They seem to take more pride in their work, do it better,
and stay with it longer.
Increases resident satisfaction. Their Poly- Kart`rm
holds their full week's trash, and they don t have to pre-
package it in trash bags. The wide mouth and stay -
propped lid make it easy for residents to dump without
spilling and creating debris. The convex- shaped lid with
high - tension windlatch allows over- pacldng while sealing
so tight there's no odor ... no flies! So, they can park a Poly -
KartTM right next to the house, then roll it easily to the curb
on collection day. Your workers won't have to enter their
private property, or confront fenced -in dogs.
Residents prefer the Poly- KartTm, saying they would
never go back to noisy, dented steel cans and costly
trash bags.
Warranty: Poly -KartTM purchasers receive a 10 -year
prorated warranty. Other warranty options are available.
Complete details of our warranty program are available
without charge upon written request to Amen -Kart Corp.
Municipal managers: You'll lower collection costs
and help create a cleaner, healthier, more attractive city.
Private haulers: Here's your immediate, marketable
edge over competition and a source for increased
monthly per- resident profit. A quick return on a wise
investment!
Poly -Lift. At the heart of the Poly -KartTM system is the
hydraulic Poly- LiftTM, the strongest, most durable and
reliable in the industry. Models available for rear or side
loading. Less time (8-10 seconds), less risk of injury, and
less fatigue.
Call or write for further information on the
Poly- KartTm system ... how to introduce it on your
routes ... and how to use it to attract new customers.

1 MEMORANDUM
TO: CHAIRMAN AND TRUSTEES
tOWASSO PUBLIC WORKS AUTHORITY
FROM: RODNEY J RAY
CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: OPWA RESOLUTION #95 -06
WATER RATE INCREASES
DATE: September 15, 1995
BACKGROUND:
The City of Tulsa has notified the City of Owasso that, effective October 1, 1995, water rates
to its municipal customers will be increased by 6.69 %. The increase means that water will now
cost the city an additional ten cents (10C) per thousand gallons. This is the first increase in
water rates by the City of Tulsa to its municipal customers in three years and represents an
attempt by Tulsa to earmark funds for improvements to the Mohawk Treatment Plant. The
increase appears ,justified and has been reviewed by the staff to ensure that it is based on a "cost
of services" rating philosophy as outlined by the "BLACK AND VEATCH STUDY" completed
in 1989.
An increase of five cents per thousand was anticipated in the 1995 -96 annual OPWA operating
budget (see page 10 of the Budget Message in the budget document). The additional increase
could require an amendment to the budget, but will not result in any "net" changes to the bottom
line as long as the Trustees pass on the rate increase to our customers.
OR RECOMMENDATION:
The staff recommends Trustee adoption of OPWA Resolution #95 -06, providing for an increase
in water rates to our customers in the amount of the rate increase to the city
NOTE: In 1993, the Trustees adopted a policy of a "phased -in" program to equalize the rate
difference between "in- city" and "rural" customers. The program is based on providing a rate
reduction to all rural customers based on new net revenue from the area acquired from Rogers
Rural Water District #3. The proposed Resolution increases rates to "in- city" customers by ten
cents (lO(,) per 1000 gallons used and a seven cent (7(,)increase to "rural" rate customers. The
current rate structure has "rural" customers paying 71.37% more than "in- city" customers. The
new rate structure will require rural customers to pay 67.74% more than the "in- city" rate.
WATER RATE INCREASES
September 15, 1995
Page 2
Granted, a change of this small amount is not significant, however using this method, the
equalization of the rate structure can be accomplished over a period of time and can be done
without negatively impacting the OPWA Fund or the Public Works Department's ability to
provide services.
PROPOSED RATE CHANGES:

NOTE: City ordinance allows a 20 % discount for low income families that meet the established
criteria. Such discounts will not be affected by this resolution.
CUSTOMER IMPACT:
The cost of this rate increase to the average customer is estimated to be $7.20 per year (based
on an average use of 7000 gallons of water per month).

MEMORANDUM
TO: RODNEY J. RAY
CITY MANAGER
FROM: F. ROBERT CARR, JR., P.E.
PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR,
SUBJECT: WASHINGTON RURAL WATER DISTRICT NO. 3 -
CONTRACT FOR EMERGENCY WATER SERVICES
DATE: September 13, 1995
BACKGROUND:
The City of Owasso water distribution system presently serves customers on the north side of
126th Street North. Service to this area essentially is provided through a single water line that
originates at 96th Street North and Garnett Road. Should the main line break, many customers,
including Hillcrest, Hale Acres, Westport, Hillside, Steed Addition and German Corner would
be out of water until a repair could be made.
Two points of emergency connections with the Washington County Rural Water District No. 3
(RWD #3) system were discussed at a meeting with the RWD Board on January 9, 1995. The
two locations will enable the City of Owasso to provide service continuity through meters at
A 126th Street North /97th E. Avenue (North Dale Acres) and at a point in Bailey Ranch Estates.
Costs to construct the emergency interconnection at North Dale Acres will be paid by
Washington County RWD #3. In exchange, the 22 water customers presently served by the City
system will be transferred to Washington RWD #3.
Costs for the Bailey Ranch emergency interconnection are to be the responsibility of the City
of Owasso. As development proceeds at Bailey Ranch, the City will require the developer to
include this structure as part of the approved water distribution plans. Therefore, costs for the
interconnection will actually be paid by the developer.
AGREEMENT FOR EMERGENCY WATER SERVICE:
A draft Agreement between Washington RWD #3 and the OPWA originally was prepared on
1 June 2, 1995. At that time, provisions for emergency water services was part of an agreement
Page 2
Washington RWD #3 Emergency Services Agreement
that included the transfer of City of Owasso customers acquired from the Rogers County
RWD #3 (north of 96th Street North between 129th E. Avenue and 145th E. Avenue) to the
Washington County RWD. The Authority rejected the entire agreement at the July 18, 1995
meeting. The present agreement has been modified to remove the transfer of the former Rogers
County area to Washington RWD #3.
Staff and the City Attorney reviewed the contents of the original agreement and returned
comments to the District and the District's engineer. A follow -up meeting with the District was
held on July 10, 1995 to discuss specific points of contention. Mayor Burris and Mr Carr were
at this meeting. As a result of the follow -up meeting, a tentative agreement was reached by both
parties, all issues had been resolved, and the District's Attorney was instructed to revise the
Agreement and the Exhibits to reflect the changes.
The attached Agreement and Exhibit have been reviewed by staff and the City Attorney for
conformance with the previously agreed to changes and all items are adequately reflected.
Key points in the Agreement and the Exhibits are as follows:
Agreement
• Transfer of North Dale Acres service area from OPWA to Washington
RWD #3. An emergency service interconnection will be provided at this
location. Costs for installation of interconnection and meter will be the
responsibility of Washington RWD #3.
• Establishment of boundary description for Bailey Ranch II service areas. A
limited number of lots are to be platted which will straddle the boundary
between the City and District. A formal agreement to serve these houses
will need to be executed. An emergency service interconnection will be
provided at this location. Costs for installation of interconnection and meter
will be the responsibility of OPWA.
Emergency Service
• Emergency rate is $1.75 per thousand gallons. The rate is to be reviewed
and can be adjusted every year.
• Emergency water service shall not exceed 125,000 gallons per day.
• Emergency service shall not be provided for longer than thirty (30) days. No
more than three (3) emergency service periods shall be provided in each
calendar year.
(At present, Owasso purchases water from the City of Tulsa for $1.49 per thousand gallons.)
