DATE: December 13, 2010 a qq�r
SUBJ: Adoption of Ordinance, Chapter 4, Chanhassen City Code
License, Permit and Administrative Fees for 2011
PROPOSED MOTION
"The Chanhassen City Council adopts the attached ordinance amending
Chapter 4 of the Chanhassen City Code."
City Council approval requires a simple majority vote.
BACKGROUND
The city attorney's office recommends that the fees be adopted by ordinance.
These rates will be effective January 1, 2011.
DISCUSSION
Utility Rates (Section 4 -45)
In 2007, we had some significant water usage events that caused staff to consider
adding tiers to our water rates and adopted the tiered rate structure in 2008. The
attached ordinance has added a fifth tier for household and irrigation use that is
more than 99,000 gallons per quarter. The first four tiers have minor changes in
the usage to accommodate monthly billing. There is ultimately a 0% increase in
the first four tiers.
Listed below is the 2008, 2009, 2010 and proposed 2011 water consumption rate
structure:
