SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Following recent discussion regarding financial implications of sewer consolidation, staff has been working with bond counsel to determine the best path forward for financing wastewater
improvements in support of collection, treatment, and disposal. Bond counsel has provided some initial concepts, and staff is working to finalize this report for the Council. It is
anticipated that available options may include either financing by the City with a cost share payment from PLRWSD or financing the investment by PLRWSD with a cost share payment from
the City. Both of these options have implications, specifically to future consolidation discussions, which will need to be evaluated. A final option on the table recommended by legal
counsel may be seeking an additional 1-year extension from DEQ and landowners to target a Spring of 2020 implementation for the new reuse system. This would push the ballot requirement/bonding
effort back one year. Staff will provide an update on this analysis during presentation of this agenda bill. This has not yet been evaluated with partners at PLRWSD at the time of drafting
this agenda bill.
Staff will also present an update of information from our recent discussion with FCS Group regarding the rate analysis. Initial numbers were provided to City staff. Our staff found a
few corrections to be made within the rates, and has also engaged with our engineers and PLRWSD to confirm that our capital investment plan is lean and projected in a manner to mitigate
rate impacts and financing needs. Staff will provide an update during this discussion.
During presentation, staff would also like to understand the Council’s availability to hold a special meeting for presentations from bond counsel and FCS group over the next few weeks.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: For discussion and direction of the Council.
