OLD BUSINESS DISTRICT REVENUE PROGRAM Mr. Horstkotte, General Manager -Chief Engineer introduced Mr. Jay McCoy of the staff and explained for the benefit of the Board Members Mr. McCoy's professional experience, the duties to which he has been assigned, and then asked Mr. McCoy to report on a survey investigation project he had conducted in relation to the District Revenue Program, Mr. McCoy explained in detail the scope of the survey investigation which encompassed: a. A field survey of ail parcels oE land within the District, b. Preparation of data cards for all parcels except improved sing1,1 lot residential property, e Determination of data on water consumption for industrial, com- mercial and governmental users d. After interpretation of the above data, appropriate charges were applied to all parcels of property to determine District revenue, e. Development of an administrative billing and posting procedure to implement the revenue program. Intcrsperced throughout Mr, McCoy's presentation, Board Members and staff posed questions and discussed various aspects of the survey investi- gation and its impact on the revenue program, after which Mr. Horstkotte commended Mr. McCoy for a fine report. In response to an inquiry from Member Gibbs, Mr. Horstkotte explained that data on water usage was related to the special service charge and not the proposed environmental quality charge. He further indicated that the District had previously elected not to levy a special service charge but that such a charge was now appropriate in order to properly allocate costs of plant operation to commercial and industrial users. Board Members and staff then discussed various aspects of imposing the environmental quality charge and the special service charge simultaneously. Mr. Bohn, Counsel for the District, explained that determination of a special service charge was the responsibility of the General Manager -Chief Engineer and, therefore, different in concept from the environmental quality charge. In response to a question related to billing procedure, Mr. Horstkotte and Mr. Bohn explained to the Board Members the distinction between the hearing scheduled for April 13, 1972, and a hearing which would be scheduled in June, 1972. Board Members and staff then discussed various aspects of the billing procedure, particularly as it related to the environmental quality charge and the special service charge. Member Gibbs suggested that, for clarity of purpose, the environmental quality charge should be applicable to all parcels within the District and that the special service charge for designated parcels would be adjusted to reflect the environmental quality charge. After discussion, the Board Members were in agreement that the environmental quality charge would be applicable to all parcels within the District and was a matter for hearing consideration. Mr. Dalton, Administrative Engineer, then reviewed for Board Members "Chapter 11, Fees and Charges", and the major proposed changes that had been incorporated. The first major proposal was the elective fixture charge. Board Members and staff discussed and agreed upon the advisability of re- taining the elective fixture charge after which it was moved by Member Gibbs, seconded by Member Mitchell, that the elective fixture charge be retained in the District Code as modified in the proposed draft. Carried by the following vote: AYES: Members: Boneysteele, Gibbs, Mitchell, Rustigian and Allan NOES: Members: None ABSENT: Members: None 2 The second major proposal to Chapter 11 is "Article 7, Environmental QuaiiLy Charge". Mr_ Bohn, Counsel for the District, reviewed Article 7 while uroposing various amendments to the draft. Board Members and staff discussed various aspects of the Environmental Quality Charge, including comqoal-s on accounting procedures fo,, use of depreciation. During the dis- cussion Board Members made amendments to the proposed draft. MT:. Dalton commented that, in addition to the revenue program being consideKed, the District would have Lo resort to short-term borrowing to finreice the expanded treatment plant. Board Members and staff then discua- seri the District's financial plans, after which it was moved by Member Gibl-s, aeconded by Member Rustigian, that "Chapter 11, Fees and Charges" as amended, be a matter for Board consideration at the hearing on April 13, 1972 Car - rd by the following vote: AYES: Members: Boneysteele, Gibbs, Mitchell, Rustigian and Allan N0ES tembers: None ABSENT: Members: None Mn-,3er Mitchell suggested that staff prepare appropriate charts and gfaphs, including costs, as aids for the hearing® Member Boneysteele commented that the decision facing the Board on April 13, 1972, is whether to proceed with expanded treatment plant project 07not If the decision is to proceed, the second matter to consider is how to allocate the. cost for the project.
