THE CITY OF °~~°~'~=~ "" CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT j~L~£~S~4NTON® June 3, 2008 City Manager Public Works Department TITLE: CONSIDER APPROVING DUBLIN SAN RAMON SERVICES DISTRICT REGIONAL SEWER USER CHARGES AND CONNECTION FEE ADJUSTMENTS FOR FISCAL YEARS 2008/09 AND THEREAFTER SUMMARY The City contracts with the Dublin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD) for wastewater treatment and disposal services. Existing agreements with DSRSD provide for the periodic review of the regional sewer user charges and connection fees to pay for operation, maintenance, replacement and expansion of the regional treatment and disposal facilities. By contract, the City is obligated to implement the changes in both the regional sewer user charges and regional connection fees that have been approved by DSRSD. Recent changes in regional sewer user char~es and connection fees were approved by the DSRSD Board on March 18th and May 5 h, 2008, respectively. Council action tonight will ratify and adopt the changes in (a) the regional sewer user charges for all Pleasanton residential and commercial customers connected to the City's sewerage system and (b) the regional connection fees for all new users requiring sewage treatment and disposal services or for existing customers requiring additional services as a result of a change in use for the property. RECOMMENDATION • Adopt the attached Ordinance as an urgency measure to take effect July 1, 2008, to amend the Municipal Code to relocate the DSRSD and the City of Livermore's sewer user fees to the City's Master Fee Schedule and • Adopt the attached Resolution amending the Master Fee Schedule accordingly to ratify and adopt adjustments to the regional sewer user charges/rates and regional connection fees for both DSRSD and the City of Livermore (for the area within the Ruby Hill subdivision). With this action, all of the regional user and connection fees, as well as the Livermore sewer user fees (for properties within the Ruby Hill subdivision), will be located within the "Sewer Rates, Fees and Charges" section of the City's Master Fee Schedule. FINANCIAL STATEMENT Both of these fees are "pass-through" fees and therefore, there is no direct impact to the City's General Fund. The City does pay for sewer service for City buildings and, where applicable, future City capital improvement projects will be required to pay the sewer connection fees.
