Memorandum
To: Board of Directors
From: Peter Holzmeister
Date: April 1, 2005
Subject: Public hearing on draft water facilities fee ordinance
Why this matter is before the board: This matter involves a public hearing to
gather public input on our proposed increase in the water facilities fee schedule.
Only the board can adopt an ordinance increasing facilities fees, and only the
board conducts the related public hearing.
History: The District adopted a revised water system master plan in 2004 to
include the Donner Lake and Glenshire service areas. Since there needs to be a
direct nexus between the master plan and the facilities fee schedule, the revised
plan led to a revised calculation of the facilities fee schedule. That revised
facilities schedule is the subject of the proposed ordinance and the public
hearing.
Staff has met with representatives of the Truckee Tahoe Contractors Association
to discuss the method for determining the fee and the amount of the fee
increase. A board workshop was conducted to review the proposal and a public
hearing was called by the board.
New information: The notice of public hearing was published in the Sierra Sun.
The draft ordinance is attached for your review. Ed Taylor and Neil Kaufman will
be available to discuss the specifics of the ordinance and its calculation if that is
required.
Recommendation: At the conclusion of the public hearing, you will be in a
position to modify the draft ordinance as you judge appropriate, or you can adopt
it as is, or you can reject or postpone action on it. The decision is entirely yours.
If you choose to take action on the proposed ordinance, that matter appears later
on the agenda under item 6.
• Total cost of improvements to be funded by Facility Fees is
$47,580,050 ($42,956,760 + $4,623,290 from Table 9-8)
• The anticipated growth in maximum day demand is from
11.85 million gallons per day (mgd) to 25.46 mgd for a total
future growth of 13.61 mgd
• The average single-family residence uses 960 gallons of
water on the maximum day of demand
• The total projected increase in demand is equal to the
construction of 14,177 single-family residences
EDUs = 13,610,000 gallons __ 14,177 EDUs
960 gallons/EDU
• The average amount to be funded by Facility Fees is
$3,356.14 per EDU:
COST = $47,580,05 0 Total = $3,356.14/ EDU
14,177 EDUs
• The average house built during the 1994-2002 period had
2,048 square feet of living space (from Table 9-9).
Therefore:
Facility Fee = $3,356,14 = $1.64/Sq.Ft.
2,048 Sq. Ft.
