Home My WebLink About4 Ordinances 2006 Budget _ __ __ __ Agenda Item # 41516 & 7 Memorandum To: Board of Directors From: Peter Holzmeister Date: January 13, 2006 Subject: Adoption of ordinances related to the budget for 2006 Why this matter is before the Board: This matter involves five separate agenda items that are related to one another. It involves adoption of water and electric rate ordinances, water and electric connection charge ordinances, and adoption of a budget for 2006. These are all matters that only the Board can determine. History: A draft budget has been presented to the Board of Directions. The draft budget recommended that water and electric rates increase 7% each, 5% for operations and 2% for cash reserves. The budget also recommended that electric and water connection charges increase by 5% each. A series of lively budget workshops were conducted. As a result of the workshops staff presented to the Board a series of possible budget cuts that result in reduction of the proposed rate increases (a copy of that analysis is attached). A public hearing was conducted at the last Board meeting. New information: Since the four agenda items (items 4, 5, 6 and 7) all relate to the budget for 2006, they can be considered package that can be dealt with together, although they appear as separate agenda items. Based on the discussions that occurred at various workshops and the public hearing, we have prepared three ordinance options for electric and water rate increases. One option adopts the 7% electric and water rate increases that I recommended. A second option adopts a 6% electric and water rate increase and the third option recommends a 5% electric and water rate increase. Those draft ordinances are attached. Also attached are two other draft ordinances, one raises the electric connection charge by 5%and the other raises the water connection charge by 5%. Recommendation: I recommend that for: Agenda Item 4 - the Board adopt an electric rate ordinance from among the options Agenda Item 5 - the Board adopt a water rate ordinance from among the options Agenda Item 6 -the Board adopt the recommended electric connection charge ordinance Agenda Item 7- the Board adopt the recommended water connection charge ordinance Agenda Item 4 - Board adopt an electric rate ordinance from among the options Ordinance No. 2006 - XX AMENDING THE ELECTRIC RETAIL RATES WHEREAS District staff has prepared a budget for District operation for 2006; and WHEREAS, on January 4, 2006 a public hearing was held to receive comments from the public concerning the 2006 budget; and WHEREAS the Board has adopted the budget for 2006; and WHEREAS the budget for 2006 recommends that electric retail rates be increased to cover increases in the costs of providing District services; and WHEREAS on January 4,2006 a public hearing was held to receive public comments on proposed rate increases; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ENACTED by the Board of Directors of the Truckee Donner Public Utility District as follows: Section 1.
