SUMMARY STATEMENT:
City staff is working closely with PLRWSD staff members to initiate a rate study in March of 2016. As mentioned in the previous presentation, this rate study will analyze City rates,
PLRWSD rates, and also consider a consolidated rate for potential consolidation of these agencies. Contact has been made with FCS Group of Redmond Washington for receipt of a scope
of work, draft schedule, and a cost estimate. FCS Group has come highly recommended by several cities within Idaho that have recently completed rate studies. It is expected that a package
from FCS Group will be ready shortly for review by both the City and the PLRWSD. The scope of work provided by FCS Group will be compared to one developed by City staff and vetted through
Zions Bank to ensure that it meets investment needs.
JUB Engineers along with City and PLRWSD staff have also been analyzing low interest loan opportunities which could be available through the IDEQ revolving loan fund or the USDA rural
development loan program. Updates on these options will be provided to the Council, if promising, once the analysis is complete.
SPF Water is still on target to complete its analysis by the end of February which will consider WWTP improvements along with a comparison of the total cost for reuse as compared to
other options. These include on site WWTP, conveyance, storage, and disposal options. Capital costs estimates for these options will be provided in the final report.
Public Works staff is expected to meet with SPF Water on February 23rd to review all of the work done to date. It is expected that SPF Water will conclude their work by the end of February
and that they will provide the results of its analysis in person to the Council at the March 10th meeting. It is also anticipated that a contract for services to conduct a rate study
will be prepared and ready for City Council review and action in early March. A March kick-off for the rate study will align itself well to the report and determination made with information
from the SPF Water report.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
None. For City Council review and discussion.
