MEMORANDUM

Date:
February 1, 2007
To:
Planning and Zoning Commission
From:
Robert Miklo
Re:
SUB04-00011 Lyn-Den Heights - Part III
This item was deferred with the applicant's consent pending resolution of outstanding
deficiencies and discrepancies. A revised plat has been submitted and reviewed. The
Public Works Department remains concerned with the design of the proposed private
sanitary sewer treatment system given the proximity of Rapid Creek and recommends that
any approval be conditioned upon Iowa Department of Natural Resource (IDNR) approval of
the system. We have not yet received the required letter form the Solon Fire Department
regarding the approval of fire protection for the subdivision. This is a basic requirement of I
the Fringe Area Agreement.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that SUB04-00011 be deferred pending resolution of the deficiencies and
discrepancies.
Upon resolution of deficiencies and discrepancies, staff recommends SUB04-00011 a
preliminary plat of Lyn-Den Heights-Part III, an approximate 38.50 acre, 40-lot residential
subdivision located north of Rapid Creek Road, be approved, only if the subdivision meets or
is exempted from the Johnson County Road Performance standards, and subject to IDNR
approval of the waste water treatment system.
City of Iowa City
MEMORANDUM
Date: January 18, 2007
To: Planning and Zoning Commission
From: Robert Miklo
Re: SUB04-00011 Lyn-Den Heights - Part III
At the applicant's request this item was deferred from the December 21 meeting. The
applicant has submitted a revised plat. The revised plat contains a number of deficiencies
and discrepancies noted at the end of this memorandum. The application continues to be in
non-compliance with the County Road Performance Standards.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that SUB04-00011 be deferred pending resolution of the deficiencies and
discrepancies noted below.
Upon resolution of these deficiencies and discrepancies, staff recommends SUB04-00011 a
preliminary plat of Lyn-Den Heights-Part III, an approximate 38.50 acre, 40-lot residential
subdivision, be approved, only if the subdivision meets or is exempted from the Johnson
County Road Performance standards.
DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES:
1. Storm water
1.1. Resubmit stormwater calculations for the entire site and use entire acreage for basin
area. Current calculations are not adequate for entire site.
1.2. Show calculations for the release rates and for the outlet pipes (designed at 50%
storage) .
2. Streets
2.1. Recommend that Rapid Creek Dr. NE name be changed as there is already a road in
the county named Rapid Creek Rd. NE, and this could be confusing for the
emergency services (police, fire, and ambulance).
2.2. Check discrepancy with 2% slope on West side of road labeled Peregrine Drive and
topography of land. Should 2% slope label be moved to the West side of the
culvert? Should culvert be located at the low point in the road?
3. Water
3.1. Service lines cannot be underneath cul-de-sac paving. Extend main to
accommodate lot 17.
3.2. The City Rural Design Standards, section 2.2 talk about fire protection. Please
submit a letter from the fire department covering this vicinity explaining the method
they would use to fight a fire in this neighborhood.
January 12, 2007
Page 2
4. Sanitary Sewer
4.1. The city is concerned that if the sanitary sewer line or the Orenco systems on each
of the properties within the 200' well separation limits begins to leak, the water
quality would be diminished.
4.2. What is the minimum radius for the sanitary sewer piping in this system? The city
recommends following the guidelines set by the system provider.
4.3. The city is concerned with the effluent from the final wastewater treatment site
draining directly into the creek. Please explain why this is feasible.
5. Site Grading and Erosion Control Plan:
5.1. NPDES General Permit No.2 will be required for this site (disturbing >1 acre).
5.2. Ditch checks will be required along roadways during construction.
5.3. Service lines cannot be underneath cul-de-sac paving. Extend water main and
hydrant to accommodate lot 17
5.4. Add arrow to note "EXISTING GRAVEL TO BE REMOVED".
5.5. A Construction Site Runoff Permit is required.

File Date:

45 Day Limitation Period:
January 05, 2006
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The applicant and property owner, John Oaks, has applied for a 40-lot single-family residential
subdivision on a 38.5-acre property located on the north side of Rapid Creek Road, approximately
Yo mile east of its intersection Highway 1. The property is zoned County RS, Suburban
Residential.
The application was first submitted in the April 2004 and subsequently the applicant requested
2
indefinite deferral because of the unresolved issues related to County Road Performance
Standards and certain other deficiencies related to waste water treatment and storm water
management facilities. The applicant has resubmitted the plat with a few minor changes to the
subdivision design. The proposed subdivision contains one lot less than the previous design. The
revised plat includes two outlots that are proposed to be set aside as 'Common Open Space'. The
plat delineates an area identified as 'Final Wastewater Treatment' within Outlot A. The application
contains number of deficiencies and discrepancies that are listed at the end of this report.
ANALYSIS
Fringe Area Agreement
The property is located in the area governed by the Fringe Area Agreement between Iowa City
and Johnson County. There is a general provision in the fringe Area Agreement states,
"Properties zoned for a classification which is inconsistent with this Agreement, at the time this
Agreement is executed, shall retain their rights under that zoning, unless or until such zoning is
changed through due process." The Agreement further states that properties subdivided within the
City's Fringe Area must meet City Rural Design Standards, which contain design requirements for
streets, and water, sanitary, and storm water systems.
Rural Design Standards
The proposed streets, which are 24-foot wide asphalt streets within a 50-foot right-of-way, exceed
the rural design standards for 22-foot wide chip sealed streets. The proposed streets appear to
meet the maximum grade requirements enumerated in the Rural Design Standards.
The Rural Design Standards state that the well and wastewater treatment systems are required to
conform to the requirements of the Johnson County Health Department. The proposed
subdivision would result in higher density than that of a typical County subdivision and is being
proposed on a land with environmentally sensitive areas such as steep slopes and flood way. The
property is in close proximity of Rapid Creek and its tributary drainage ways. Therefore, staff
recommends that the applicant provide a letter from the Johnson County Health Department that
the proposed water and wastewater system is functional in concept, prior to the approval of the
preiiminary plat.
Regarding storm water management, the Rural Design Standards state that the City storm water
management ordinance shall apply to all new developments within the City's area of extraterritorial
jurisdiction (except for the Old Man's Creek watershed). The plat as proposed contains no
provisions for storm water management. Given the size and density, staff recommends that such
provisions be required for the proposed subdivision.
Clustering
The applicant is taking advantage of the County's clustering provisions in order to create smaller
lot sizes than would normally be permitted in the County RS zone. The County subdivision
ordinance allows clustering and smaller lot sizes provided the subdivision design follows the
natural characteristics of the land, and creates usable open space, common ground and
recreational areas. Because (City) staff does not have experience is how the clustering provision
has been used across the County, staff defers to County Officials in determining whether this
subdivision meets the standards of a clustered subdivision.
Road Performance Standards
The County adopted an ordinance to establish Road Performance Standards for Subdivisions. As
3
stated in the ordinance, County subdivisions shall be approved only if they are in locations which
meet certain Road Performance Standards (RPS). The standards are based on the capacity of
the existing road infrastructure and the most recent traffic count.
The standards state that subdivisions on oiled chip sealed roads with a traffic volume of greater
than 700 vehicles per day shall have a development density not to exceed one lot for every 20
acres. Rapid Creek Road is currently an oiled chip sealed road and the most recent traffic count
(2002) on Rapid Creek Road is 940 vehicle trips per day. Because Rapid Creek Road exceeds
the 700-trips-per-day threshold, development on this property would be limited to approximately
six lots until a time that Rapid Creek Road is upgraded. The standards further state that
subdivisions shall not be approved on oiled chip seal roads where traffic exceeds 1,000 vehicles
per day until the road is upgraded. The subdivision as proposed would generate traffic that would
exceed 1000 vehicle trips per day.
In 2004, the applicant asked the Board of Supervisors for an exemption from the RPS. The Board
of Supervisors did not grant approval of the exemption. Although the RPS are not part of the
Fringe Area Agreement, staff recognizes that the proposed subdivision clearly vioiates an adopted
ordinance of the County. Therefore, staff recommends that approval for this subdivision should
only be approved if the County exempts the subdivision from the RPS.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that SUB04-00011 be deferred pending resolution of the deficiencies and
discrepancies noted below.
Upon resolution of these deficiencies and discrepancies, staff recommends SUB04-00011 a
preliminary plat of Lyn-Den Heights-Part III, an approximate 38.50 acre, 40-lot residential
subdivision, be approved, only if the subdivision meets or is exempted from the Johnson County
Road Performance standards.
DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES:
1. Provide an approval letter from the County Department of Health regarding the water and
wastewater treatment system.
2. Identify and label all the utility easements and exiting topographical features.
3. Identify the purpose of the pump in Outlot A. Show what it pumps and where it attaches.
4. Addresses for lots 1 and 2 under Lyn-Den Heights Subdivision do not match lot numbers.
5. Tract acreage shown on the plat does not match the acreage reported in the legal
description and the dimensions shown on the plat do not match those in the legal
description.
6. Barbary Court should be changed to Peregrine Drive, continuing that street through the cul-
de-sac Barbary Court name should be changed as it will no longer be a "court" type street
and there is already a road in the county named Banbury Circle, this could be confusing for
the emergency services.
7. Discrepancy with 2% slope on West side of road labeled Peregrine Drive and topography of
land should be resolved.
8. Cross sections for steep slopes (11%-12%) should be shown on the plat.
9. It does not appear that one well would be sufficient for all lots given the extreme range in
topography of the land. Show calculations and verify that additional wells or pump systems
are not needed, or show that they will be provided.
10. Service lines cannot be underneath cul-de-sac paving. Extend main to accommodate lots
17 and 18.
4
11. Extend East hydrant beyond lot 2 to avoid any driveway conflicts.
12. Calculate and show the fire rating.
13. Fire hydrant spacing shall be an average distance of 400 feet.
14. Approval is needed by the IDNR for this proposed water system.
15. Revise direction arrows that are pointing the wrong direction for the sanitary sewer lines.
16. Verify that sanitary sewer and/or force main can be located within the 200' well separation
limits shown on the plat.
17. Show calculations for gravity and force main lines.
18. If there will be any force mains, they should be shown where the pump will be located.
19. Sewer cannot snake around curves of road.
20. Sewer easements must be shown in Outlots.
21. Manhole spacing shall be at all intersections and distances not greater than 400 feet for
sewers 15 inches or less in diameter or distances not greater than 600 feet for sewers 18 to
30 inches in diameter.
22. Approval is required by the IDNR for this proposed sewer system.
23. Perform stormwater calculations and show stormwater management easements for areas
that drain to the Iowa City growth area.
24. As shown, stormwater for the West half of Outlot B will drain to the existing lot, Lot 1. This
should be changed to allow stormwater to be controlled in Outlot B.
25. Grading plan and permit are required since there are slopes of 25% or greater.

Stephen Atkins

410 Washington Street
Iowa City, IA 52240
Dear Stephen,
United Action for Youth is requesting an adjustment in UA Y's payment schedule to the City of
Iowa City. Our recent payment of $55,000 leaves a balance of $170,000. We respectfully
request that the payment schedule be amended to reflect that UA Y pay that amount in the
coming year, adjusting from the $150,000 in the current schedule.
While we continue to make progress on our capital campaign we have not yet reached our goal.
Our development office is making steady progress in the campaign. We recently met our
additional obligation to pay for the remodeling work done on the UA Y property at 410 Iowa
Avenue, and those costs were over $20,000.
The staff, board, volunteers, and especially the young people we serve, wish to express our
gratitude to the City of Iowa City in providing us with this wonderful environment for the Youth
Center. It is truly a great space and demonstrates Iowa City's commitment to youth and families.
Thank you for your consideration.

Re: Cost of Service and Rate Study
The City of Iowa City operates water and wastewater utilities that are self-supporting through
user fees charged to our customers, From time to time it is good business practice to examine
the various costs of operations and evaluate the range of customer classes and their needs,
This is necessary to accurately price our utility products and services, Although our utility rates
are periodically adjusted, the last comprehensive rate studies occurred in 1975 for wastewater
and 1981 for water. Not only has significant time passed since these studies, both utilities have
constructed new facilities and use different treatment processes,
A committee that included the Public Works Director, Finance Director, Water and Wastewater
Superintendents and Revenue and Risk Manager recently completed interviews with three
consultants for a Cost of Service and Rate Study, HDR was chosen and a contract has been
negotiated,
The study will include the following tasks:
. Review and assessment of existing water and wastewater financial, statistical and
customer data,
. A revenue requirement analysis will identify the sources of funds for water and
wastewater capital infrastructure and operational needs for a projected five year period,
. A cost of service analysis will determine appropriate allocation of the operating and
capital costs of each utility to the customer classes in a manner that reflects a class'
proportional benefit of the system,
. A rate design analysis will include using the cost information from the cost of service
analysis to develop water and wastewater rate designs,
. A computer model of the analyses will be created and used to look at several
alternatives, This model will be available for City staff to use for future evaluations,
The fee for the Cost of Service and Rate Study for the water and wastewater utilities is $81,000,
The project will take approximately six (6) months to complete,

ATTACHMENT A
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Task 1-lnitial Kick-Off Meeting (Project Meeting)
Objective: Bring the consultant, management and staff together, at the start of the
project, to assure that all parties have a mutual understanding of the goals, objectives,
issues, and concerns related to the study.
The initial kick-off (project) meeting is important to the overall success of this
engagement since it forms the foundation for the rate study process. This meeting allows
both parties to discuss the overall goals and objectives for this study, along with any
issues and concerns that either party may have. In addition, project scheduling and other
administration issues will be discussed. It is proposed that the initial project meeting be
approximately 4-hours in length. A pre-planning teleconference between the city and
HDR project managers will occur to establish the agenda and pre-meeting data needs.
Task 2-Data Collection
Objective: Review and assess.the existing water and wastewater data, and provide a
written data request detailing the data required to complete the study.
The initial written data request details the data and information required to conduct the
studies. HDR will provide a written data request prior to the initial kick-off meeting so
that it can be discussed at the meeting and any problem areas can quickly be resolved.
The data and information requested for this study should be, for the most part, readily
available information (e.g. financial, statistical, customer, etc.). The data item that
generally takes the most time to generate is the customer billing information (CF,
customer accounts, meters by size, etc.). HDR will attempt to facilitate this process as
much as possible. Important for the schedule of this project will be a summary of the
utility service issues between the City and the University of Iowa and other large
customers, that should be considered and clarification on the possible scale of wholesale
water to others. As with any study, it is imperative that the data items be provided in a
timely manner. A discussion/decision on the solid waste rate study should be made as it
may make data collection simpler to complete all three utilities at one time. If the City
decides to postpone the data collection for the solid waste utility, a future data request
will be sent requesting the appropriate data needs.
Task 3-Revenue Requirement Analysis
Objective: Using a "generally-accepted" rate setting methodology, develop the water
and wastewater revenue requirements for a projected jive (5) year time period. The
analysis will utilize the utility specific capital infrastructure planning documents (e.g.
Capital Plan/Master Plan), while ensuring adequate funds for operating and capital
needs. The revenue requirement analysis will establish the cost-based 'level' of revenue
to be collected from rates and, if necessary, a plan to transition rates to cost-based levels.
. .
"This task eonslilers
the prudent and
proper funding for
O&M and capital
d' "
expen Itures",
The development of the water and wastewater revenue requirement
analyses is the first major analytical portion of the comprehensive
rate study process. This portion of the study entails reviewing, for
each utility, the various sources of funds (revenues) and comparing
1
ATTACHMENT A
them to the applications of funds (expenses) for the utility. This task considers the
prudent and proper funding for O&M and capital expenditures for each utility, and
determines the need for any rate adjustments over the time period selected. Special
operations or cost issues associated with large use/wholesale water and wastewater
customers will be noted in the revenue requirement to cover such costs. A more detailed
discussion of the various steps involved in developing the revenue requirement for each
utility is provided below.
STEP l-SELECTIONOF A TEST PERlOD- The first step in the development of the revenue
requirement is the selection of a "test period". A "test period" refers to a time frame of
reference for the accumulation of revenues, expenses, and consumption data. By
reviewing costs over this extended time frame, the utility can begin planning for any
major rate impacts on the horizon. At this time it would be recommended that the test
period be from calendar year 2007 - 2012.
STEP 2 - METHOD OF ACCUMULATING COSTS - Once the "test period" has been
determined, the next decision is to determine the basis or method of accumulating costs.
There are two choices for accumulating costs for revenue requirement/financial planning
purposes; the "cash" or "utility/accrual" basis. Table 2-2 provides a simple comparison
between these two "generally accepted" methodologies.
Table 2-2
Cash vs. Utility Basis Comparison
+ Return on Rate Base (Investment)
Revenue Requirement
+ O&M Expense
+ Taxes or Transfer Payments
+ Capital Projects Financed with
Rate Revenues (;>: Depree. Exp.)
+ Debt Service (P+I)
Revenue Requirement
+ O&M Expense
+ Taxes or Transfer Payments
+ Annual Depreciation Expense
Two items should be noted from the above table. First, the terms "cash" and "accrual"
used in the table are not the same terms used in the accounting sense. These terms, as
used for rate setting purposes, relate to the cost components to be included within the
revenue requirements. The second important point that should be made concerning the
above table is that in practice, the "cash" basis approach is most commonly used by
public (municipal) utilities for determining and setting their revenue requirements since
this closely follows their budgeting process. At this time it is proposed that the "cash
basis" approach be utilized in the development of the revenue requirement for each
utility. The most appropriate methodology to be used will be finalized at the initial
project meeting.
STEP 3 - ACCUMULATION OF REVENUES AND EXPENSES - The next step is to develop the
test period revenue requirement for each utility.
A revenue requirement is composed of two major types of costs; operational and capital
expenses. The operational costs are generally projected from historical or budgeted costs,
using assumed escalation factors, and adjusted for any known changes in operations (e.g.
additional personnel, growth/expansion, etc.) While the projection of the operational
2
ATTACHMENT A
costs is fairly straightforward, the capital cost projections
are generally the focus of the analysis, and require more
thought and planning.
Within this study, the starting point for projecting capital
costs (expenditures) will be the capital improvement
plans for each utility, or any other relevant capital
planning and capital budgeting documents, including the
activities of the University of Iowa and other large users that may impact the City's
capital planning directly or indirectly. In the financial planning process, consideration
must be given to maximizing the capital improvements (expenditures) for the system,
while minimizing rates to its customers. This is accomplished in a variety of ways.
However, the most important aspect of this discussion is that there are multiple methods
of financing capital expenditures, and it is through this process that rates can be
minimized. Table 2-3 provides an overview of the capital planning approach that is used
to develop a capital funding plan for the revenue requirement analysis.
". . . consideration must
be given to maximizing
the capital improvements
(expenditures) for the
system, while at the same
time, minimizing rates to
its customers. "
Table 2.3
Overview of the Capital Planning Approach
+ Total Capital Projects-
./ Replacement and Refurbishment Capital Projects
./ Legally Mandated Capital Projects
./ System Growth and Expansion Capital Projects (including wholesale)
Outside Funding Sources -
./ Capital Reserves
../ Grants
./ Low-Interest Loans (State and/or Federal)
./ Connection Fees/Contributed Capital
./ Short -Term Borrowing
./ Borrowed Funds/Long Term Debt (e.g. Revenue Bond)
Capital Projects Financed with Rate Revenues (<: Depree. Exp.)
The basic framework shown above is developed on a year-by-year basis for each of the
projected periods of the water and wastewater revenue requirement analyses. In summary
form, the general approach is to list all water and wastewater capital projects in each
year, and then determine the various outside funding sources for each of the projects.
These outside funding sources may be low-interest loans, grants, customer capital
contributions, system development charges, etc. The balance of projects not funded by
the available sources of funds must be financed from a combination of long-term debt
and rates. It is the balancing ofthe use oflong-term debt to the impact upon rates, which
is critical to the analysis.
In balancing the use of debt to equity (rate) financing of capital projects, a number of
financial planning aspects are taken into account. First, the utility's debt service coverage
ratio is an important financial measure or indication of the utility's ability to repay debt.
The strength of the debt service coverage ratio is a direct function of the amount of
capital projects that are financed from rate revenues. At a minimum, we assume that a
3
ATTACHMENT A
utility should fund an amount equal to or greater than the utility's annual depreciation
expense for renewal and replacement capital projects. By following this simple financial
rule, the utility is not only assured of a strong debt service coverage ratio, but also that
existing plant in service will be maintained at acceptable service levels. By properly
funding for this component of the capital projects, it should provide the utility with
greater flexibility in its ability to borrow for capital projects.
In summary, given a better understanding of the overall magnitude of the needed capital
projects, a final revenue requirement (financing plan) can be developed which meets the
goals and objectives for each utility, while attempting to minimize rates and costs over
time.
Task 4-Cost of Service Analysis
Objective: Develop an average embedded cost of service study to equitably allocate the
revenue requirements of each utility to the customers served by each utility.
The cost of service will equitably allocate the operating and capital costs of the utility to
the customer classes of service of each utility using a "generally accepted" cost of service
methodology. The methodology allocates the total revenue requirement of the utility to
the various customer classes of service, in a manner that reflects a class' proportional
benefit (usage) of the system. The premise of a cost of service is that the rates charged
should closely approximate the costs associated with providing the service.
STEP 1 - DETERMINATION OF CUSTOMER CLASSES OF SERVICE - The first step in the cost
of service is identification of the customer classes of service that will be used for
purposes of establishing cost allocations and rates. The process of establishing classes of
service is to group customers with similar usage and/or facility requirements. The study
process includes reviewing the utility data and information to determine the most
appropriate classes of service for cost allocation purposes. A starting point in
determining the customer classes of service for the analyses will be the utility's current
rate schedules. The classes of service for each utility can be reviewed and finalized
during the initial project meeting.
STEP 2 - FUNCTIONALIZATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF PLANT AND EXPENSES. -The next
step in the cost of service analysis is to functionalize the plant in service and expense
data. Functionalization refers to the arrangement of cost data into its basic cost categories
(e.g., for the water utility, source of supply/production, treatment, transmission,
distribution, etc.). This task is simplified greatly through the use of a uniform system of
accounts. Given functionalized costs, the costs are then classified to their various cost
components. Typical cost classifiers for each utility are summarized in Table 2-4.

ATTACHMENT A
Table 2.4
Typical Cost Classifiers

v' Commodity v' Volume
v' Capacity (Peak Requirements) v' Strength (BOD/TSS)
v' Customer v' Nutrient Contribution (Phosphorus, Nitrogen)
v' Fire v' Customer
v' Revenue v' Revenue
While the basic cost classifiers noted above for each utility are the cornerstone to the
analysis, they arc by no means the only cost classifiers to be utilized for each of the
utility's. A thorough review of the various types of costs incurred for each utility will be
undertaken and specific cost classifiers developed. This again is where the costs
associated with serving the City's large use or wholesale type customers, and the type of
service provided, will l,'Uide the analysis. A decision will need to be made on how to
assemble the cost associated with these types of customers, and alternative approaches
developed for the City's review and decision. When the costs are understood, it is
possible to determine the most appropriate and equitable method to recover those costs.
This may be through continuity of the current cost recovery method, or through a new set
of fees and charges.
STEP 3 - ALLOCATION OF EXPENSES - The next analytical process involved in each of the
cost of service analyses is the allocation of the utility expenses to each of the customer
classes of service. Allocation factors will be developed for each cost classifier identified
in step 2 for the eventual assignment of costs to specific customer classes. In developing
the allocation factors, HDR will develop factors that are "fair and equitable" to all
customers, and rely upon City-specific data where available. One of the concerns of this
study will be incorporating customers that have reduced strength levels, or have high
strength levels when developing the wastewater strength related allocation factors.
Another factor is special treatment and removal of costs associated with the medical and
scientific research facilities. Some expenses may be assigned to a "special charges"
category rather then be included in the use charge.
STEP 4 - SUMMARY OF THE COST OF SERVICE - The final task allocates the expenses to
each class of service. From this process, a summary page of the cost of service study for
each utility is provided. The summary page for the cost of service study compares the
difference between the current level of rate revenue received from each class of service,
and the allocated cost to serve each class.
The cost of service will also provide average unit costs, which are important to the
development of final rate designs. The development of average unit costs will provide
cost of service based rates, for all water and wastewater classes of service.
Task 5-Rate Design Analysis
Objective: Utilize the cost information developed as a part of the previous tasks and
develop water and wastcwater ratc design options for possible adoption. Review any
5
ATTACHMENT A
alternative rate designs that meet the rate design goals and objectives of each utility (e.g.
conservation, revenue stability, etc.). Consider a "special charges" category to recover
unusual or unique costs.
A starting point for the water and wastewater rate design process is understanding the rate
design goals and objectives of each utility. These objectives may include ease of
administration, simplicity, revenue stability, efficient use, etc.
In designing rate alternatives, consideration must be given to two elements of the rate
design process; level and structure. Level refers to the amount of revenue collected from
a class of customer, whereas structure refers to the way in which it is collected. As a part
of this task, the present rate structures will be reviewed to ensure that they conform to
contemporary rate-setting goals and objectives. HDR will review the rate objectives of
the utility and provide up to two (2) rate alternatives, for each utility, which will meet
those objectives (e.g., revenue stability, conservation, etc.). In designing the alternative
rate options, the cost of service information and average unit cost information for each
utility will be used as a starting point. If needed, a transition plan will be developed to
minimize the impacts to customers during the rate transition period. In addition, the
information developed in the cost of service analysis will be used to develop fee
schedules for future wholesale or retail customers
For each rate option developed, a bill comparison will be provided to demonstrate the
impacts upon a customer's bill at various levels of consumption. In addition, the rate
alternatives recommended will be checked to ensure adequate flow of funds to cover the
financial requirements identified within the revenue requirement. HDR will also provide
a comparison with other surrounding utilities.
Task 6-MeetingslWorkshops/Public Presentations
Objective: Provide effective public presentations of the findings, results, and
recommendations of the study.
The overall quality and value of a rate study is often measured by the quality of the
public presentation process. The ability of the consultant to present this technical material
in a manner that is easily understandable to the <Lii
policymaker and public is paramount. HDR excels in f''!f~~(Jv~,,~ll.q,~~lityQ.?d

investigation to be made. If the City finds that a default exists or has occurred, the City may
take appropriate steps to secure compliance with the terms of this agreement or the codes or
ordinances.

default within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such notice; provided, however, where
any such default cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period, and Network
shall proceed promptly to cure the same and prosecute such cure with due diligence, the time
for curing such default shall reasonably be extended for such period of time as may be
necessary to complete such cure.
If the City determines that a violation or breach of this agreement or codes or ordinances
lawfully regulating the Network in the operation of its facilities is an immediate danger to public
health, safety or welfare and requires immediate action, the City may provide written notice of
said determination to Network and immediately remedy the default by doing the act itself, or
through a contractor, and charge the costs of such work to the Network.
4

i. seek specific performance; or
ii. remedy the default by doing the act itself, or through a contractor, and charge the
costs of such work to the Network; or
iii. seek damages of such default; or
iv. any combination of (i), (ii) and (iii).
SECTION 13. LIABILITY, INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE
The Network covenants to indemnify, defend and save the City and its officers, agents and
employees, harmless from any and all damages arising directly from the exercise of the rights
granted herein. The Network agrees to require contractors and subcontractors engaged in
work for the Network within the public right-of-way or public property to maintain insurance
coverage during the term of their work and to provide the City with certificates of insurance
satisfactory to City.
SECTION 14. SEVERABILITY
In the event a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge any provision or provisions hereof
invalid or illegal, or direct a change by the Network in any matter or thing herein contained,
such invalidity, illegality or change shall be deemed severable and shall in no way affect the
remaining provisions of this agreement or their validity or legality and this agreement in all
other respects shall continue in full force and effect as if said provision or provisions had not
been so adjudged invalid or illegal, or such change had not been directed. At the City's option,
and upon a court's ruling of invalidity or illegality, the City may cause this agreement to be
terminated.
SECTION 15. ASSIGNMENT
Neither party shall assign or otherwise transfer this agreement or any of its rights and interest
to any firm, corporation or individual, without the prior written consent of the other party.
SECTION 16. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT AND VACATION OF STREETS AND ALLEYS
The City may terminate this Agreement at any time upon thirty (30) days notice provided to
Network, if the City determines that the property or public right-of-way is needed for a public
purpose and should be cleared of any and all obstructions. When not in conflict with other City
purpose, need or use, as long as the Network exercises the rights granted to it hereunder, the
City will not, by ordinance or otherwise, vacate any street, alley or public property in which the
Network has installed its facilities without reserving such rights as necessary to allow continued

facilities as provided in Section 8 hereof.
