This area serves as a route for children walking to the school. The City Council would have to initiate an improvement project to install this one block segment of boulevard walks. These improvements would be assessed to benefited properties. I do not feel that the City would have time to initiate an improvement project for the 1993 con- struction season at this time. It is my recommendation that no action be taken by the City at this time. This improvement project should be added to the 1994-1999 Capital Improvement Project list in the 1994 budget. Preliminarily, I would estimate costs of$5,000 to $6,000 for the project. . 13V11/jL Thomas J. Kaldunski, P.E.

It is recommended the Council set a workshop date, preferably in late September or at the next regular Council meeting. Tom Kaldunski will contact Water Board members for open dates on their schedules. I have attached a memo from Tom relating to recent Water Board actions. It should be noted that under this rate an average bill (2. 83 person household at 80 gallons per day per capita) would be approximately $30. 12, which is a slight increase in rates. As noted in Tom' s memo, the rates were set before the study was completed. I feel the 80 gpd is extremely conservative, but without any past history of meter use in Farmington, it is difficult to estimate usage until residents have had the time to adjust to metered rates. Tom, Glenn Cook, Wayne and I met to finalize the water rate study and will meet on September 16th to complete the sewer study. The draft report should be available towards the end of the month. i, _ ,iii-, i ; 47.1 Larry Thompson City Administrator cc: file Wayne Henneke Tom Kaldunski Water Board MEMO TO: LARRY THOMPSON SUBJECT: WATER RATES AND METER INSPECTIONS DATE: AUGUST 26, 1993 This memo is intended to inform you that the Water Board has established it's new rates for water use. The Board reviewed the Draft Study prepared by B.R.A.. I had recommended that the Board wait until the study was completed. A meeting to discuss the rate study was scheduled for today with you, Wayne Henneke, Glenn Cook of B.R.A. and myself. The Water Board passed a motion to establish the following rates; 1) Basic fee - $8.50/quarter 2) State Testing - $2.00/quarter 3) Metered Water Usage a) $ 0.95/1000 gallons up to 25,000 gpd b) $1.10/1000 gallons 25,000 + gpd The higher rate was established to correspond to the MPCA definition of a "Wet Industrial User". The effective date was not mentioned in the motion. The discussion indicated that the rates would be effective when the City wide metering is implemented. The deadline for meter installation is October 1, 1993. It could be assumed that the new rate would be effective for the last quarter of 1993, which is billed 1/1/93. In addition, the Water Board has established a rate for customers that have not installed water meters by the 10/1/93 deadline as follows: a) Base fee - $8.50/quarter b) State testing fee - $2.00/quarter c) $75/quarter for water consumption TOTAL OF $85.50/quarter This was done to encourage customers to install the meters before the deadline. In addition, the Water Board has determined that customers that have not install the meters by 10/ 1/93 will be required to pay for the meter ($69 ±) in addition to the $35.00 fee for meter horn and inspection. The Water Board has taken these actions by motion and they are part of their record. I have been instructed to inform the residents that have not collected the meter for installation of these terms. A letter will be drafted soon. • It is estimated that 525 customers have not received their meters to date. The City has inspected approximately 600 meter installations to date. I do not know how many inspections have been done by the plumbers via the agreement. It is estimated that there are 2100 customers. The Water Board has decided to hire Mark Williams to assist in water meter inspections. He is to be a temporary worker (to 10/1/93) for the Water Board. I am preparing an implementation plan.
