SUMMARY STATEMENT:
During 2022, the City, with the assistance of Bowen Collins Associates completed a water rate study update that identified the recommended water rates, capitalization/buy-in fees, and
other fees necessary to provide the revenue to support the anticipated expenses necessary to implement the recommendations of the 2018 Water Master Plan and the currently updated 2022
capital improvement plan (CIP).
Staff conducted a work session with City Council on 7/7/22 providing an overview of recommended water rates and fees to meet revenue demands for the 20 year planning period and get direction
from Council. On 7/28/22, staff and BCA presented a follow up rate study presentation that included an Alternate B that included a 4th volume usage block (for usage over 40,000 gallons
per month). City Council directed staff to prepare a resolution for new rates for the next 6 fiscal years (FY23-28) based on Alternate B rates and the 4th usage rate block.
The attached Resolution 22-27:
Formalizes the Council’s recommended water rates, capitalization fees, and other water fees for FY23-FY28,
Replaces existing Resolution 18-27 (currently in effect) and all previous and related resolutions,
Defines new water connection fees to more equitably reflect the City’s costs for providing and managing new water service connections of varying types,
Defines new capitalizaion fees based required by McCall City Code Section 6.4.050, using the American Water Works Association Manual 26 based on the incremental-cost pricing method and
as outlined in the City of McCall 2022 Water Rate Study Update.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. Hold the public hearing.
2. Approve Resolution 22-27 adopting new FY23-FY28 water rate, capitalization, connection and other water fee changes; and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
