of the Electric Connection Fee Schedule
1. WHY THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE BOARD
This item involves scheduling a public hearing at the May 16, 2018 Board meeting
related to the proposed adoption of a new Electric Connection Fee Schedule and
requires Board action.
2. HISTORY
On March 7, 2018 a workshop was presented to the Board to discuss proposed
adjustments to the Electric Connection Fee Schedule. Staff evaluation revealed that
the costs to provide these services have increased substantially since the previous
updates that occurred in 2014 and 2008.
3. NEW INFORMATION
Staff is proposing to conduct a public hearing at the May 16, 2018 Board meeting to
present proposed changes to the Electric Connection Fee Schedule for the Board's
consideration. The proposed fee changes will reflect the actual cost to provide the
services. The proposed fee schedule will be based on implementing the increases
over several years and will include an escalation factor to account for inflation.
The adoption of the proposed fees would be according to the following schedule:
April 4, 2018 -Consideration of Scheduling a Public Hearing (tonight)
May 16, 2018 - Public Hearing

If approved by the Board, the new fees would become effective 60 days later,
although the Board can increase this time period at its discretion.
