REGULAR AGENDA
3.
Review of the Encinitas Sanitary District Fiscal-Year 1992-93
Financial Plan. contact Person: utilities Planner Henie.
utilities Planner Henie said the budget for Fiscal Year 92-93 was
based on connection fees being raised to $1,954 per Equivalent
Dwelling Unit (EDU) and annual sewer service charges being
increased to $154.00 (10% increase) per EDU. Sewer service charges
for certain commercial customers billed on water consumption would
also increase-from $1.79 per hundred cubic feet (HFC) to $1.97 (10%
increase) per HFC. Mr. Henie said staff considered the increases
necessary to fund future capital improvement projects needed to
upgrade and maintain current District facilities.
Mr. Henie stated the District Master Plan, although not yet
completed, identified future capital improvement projects needing
future District attention. Most of those upgrade and replacement
projects could be funded from existing District reserves, however,
two of the projects would require the District to seek additional
revenue. They included the Moonlight Beach Force Main
Rehabilitation Project ($1,615,000) and Encina's Solids Management
Compost Project ($654,120).
Mr. Henie said the Board had previously stated that new sewer
connections would pay for projects associated with the expansion of
District facilities. Certain expansion projects had been
identified requiring future District attention and the proposed
connection fee increase was based on spreading those future project
costs to remaining EDU's not yet connected to the District's public
sewer system.
Staff recommendation was for the Board to review the Encinitas
sanitary District Fiscal Year 1992-93 Financial Plan and have staff
return with a Resolution adopting the Financial Plan and an
Ordinance adopting the rate increases at the May 5, 1992 meeting.
B. smith said nothing should be done regarding fee increases until
the Board saw the Master Plan. He asked how much the professional
and audit fees would be.
Public Works Director Nelson, in answer to Mr. smith's question,
said the professional fees would be $5,000 and the audit fees would
be $15,000.
Hano moved, Slater seconded to approve staff recommendation
deleting the service fee increase. Motion failed. Ayes: Hano,
Slater; Nays: omsted, wiegand; Abstain: Davis.
