residential accounts, there is no change in the structure of how these rates are charged The attached ordinance adjusts the Stormwater rates effective May 1, 2013, but makes no changes to the current rate structure associated with Stormwater There is no adjustment to the in -city wastewater rates for 2013 However, effective May 1, 2013, the multiplier for outside wastewater rates will increase from 1 15 times to 1 5 times, to be consistent with the outside water rates multiplier ATTACHMENTS Ordinance No 5213 amending rates and fees relating to Water, Wastewater, Stormwater and other related services and Exhibit A — Rates Table Additional information and attachments may be found on the rate study web page at http / /www ci bremerton wa us /ratestudy/ FISCAL IMPACTS (Include Budgeted Amount) For Stormwater, revenue target for 2013 would be $2 1 -

Rate Study Q Can PILOT be broken out separately on the bill? If yes, would it be by individual utility or in total? A PILOT could be broken out separately on your utility bill and could be broken out per utility However, in order to display this information on a customer's bill, the City would need to contract with a computer programming company to have the bill reformatted to accommodate this This would add extra expense to the utilities that would need to be factored into the rates paid by our customers Q Does the City subsidize other jurisdictions? A Any jurisdictions within the City's utility limits would pay the same fees as other rate payers per the adopted fee ordinance Exceptions can be made based on council policy directives If an exception is to be made, an agreement must be negotiated and approved by the City Council For example, the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard has an approved agreement with the City that specifies what rates the shipyard pays for its utility services This agreement spells out the rates to be paid, and does require that the shipyard's rates will also be adjusted by the same percentage as any general rate increases born by the rest of the utility Q Who will make the final decision regarding how billing will be structured? A The City Council, acting as the board of directors for our utilities, has the ultimate responsibility for making rating decisions As we assess any feedback received regarding the various rate structure options, staff will make a recommendation to the Council for consideration However, rates cannot be changed until Council approves them through ordinance Q Can on -line bill paying be an option? Can this be free of charge? A The City currently provides an on -line payment option for our customers There is a $3 85 fee associated with this service If the City were to absorb this cost, this fee would need to be factored into the rates that all customers pay for their utilities, not dust those that utilize this service To avoid this fee, there are additional electronic payment options available to the City's utility customers Customers can enroll in our ACH payment option (no fee for this service) or customers can make arrangements with their banks /credit unions to make the payments for them Please keep in mind that while the City does not assess a fee for payments received from your bank /credit union, your bank /credit union may charge you a fee for this service For additional information on enrollment into the ACH payment option, please call customer service at 360 - 473 -5316 Q Can the City begin billing monthly instead of br monthly to help people spread the payment over time? A The City bills its utilities on a bi- monthly basis to help contain costs to the utilities We bill one half of our customers in one month, and then the other half the next So while our customers only receive a bill every other month, we are going through a billing process monthly If we were to begin billing all customers every month, we would need to add resources (staff, supplies, etc ) to accommodate this change, the cost of which would ultimately be borne by our rate payers Q Can customers pay monthly even if billed bi- monthly? A Yes However, to avoid a potential for a delinquent charge, please be sure you are paying ahead and not in arrears For example, if your bill is $100 and you pay only one half, the remaining balance will be subject to a delinquent charge until paid Any payment received in an off month in advance of your bill will be carried as a credit on your account towards your next br monthly bill Exhibit A ASSESSMENTS, RATES, FEES, AND CHARGES EFFECTIVE May 1, 2013 Within Outside City Limits City Limits GENERAL FACILITY CHARGES Water (per Meter Size) 5/8" x 3/4" $ 2,51100 $ 2,51100 1" $ 6,27600 $ 6,27600 1 1/2" $ 12,554 00 $ 12,554 00 2" $ 20,084 00 $ 20,084 00 Greater than 2" Calculated based on usage Calculated based on usage Wastewater (per ERU) $ 3,80100 $ 3,80100 Stormwater (per ISU) $ 1,01900 N/A CONNECTIONANSPECTION FEES Water Connection Fees 5/8" x 3/4" $ 2,05500 $ 3,08250 1 $ 2,22100 $ 3,33150 1 1/2" $ 4,35700 $ 6,53550 2" $ 4,53600 $ 6,80400 Greater than 2" Actual Time & Materials 150% of Actual Time & Materials Field Inspection Fees Water main extensions (per foot) $ 129 $ 194 but not less than $ 47700 $ 71550 Pump Station $ 62900 $ 94350 Miscellaneous (per hour) $ 5300 $ 7950 Wastewater Connection Fees Lateral Connection at P/L $ 5200 S 60-00 $ 7800 Lateral Connection at Main $ 30800 $ -33499 $ 46200 Conveyance Facility Ext (Per Foot) $ 170 $ 1 96 $ 255 but not less than $ 37100 S 42 :-90 $ 55700 Pump Station $ 61700 X09 $ 92600 Miscellaneous (per hour) $ 5200 x--{ 00 $ 7800 1 of 9 Within Outside City Limits City Limits RETAIL WATER SERVICE RATES General Service - Monthly Service Charge Meter Size 5/8 x 3/4 inches $ 1-1 38 $ 1024 1.707 $ 1536 1 inch $ 1.3 QT $ 1171 T7 52 $ 1757 1 1/2 inch $ 1.849 $ 1664 2774 $ 2496 2 inch $ 2494 $ 2236 $ 9726 $ 3353 3 inch 47 12 $ 4241 $- --7869 $ 6362 4 inch 8758 $ 7882 4313;
