License, Permit and Administrative Fees for 2012
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, 2012. Ehlers & Associates have prepared a utility
rate analysis to review rates for 2012 and beyond. The summary of the study is
attached.

Phone: 952.227.1400
The City's Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP) was adopted in February 1994.
Fax: 952.2271404
The SWMP recommended the City establish surface water connection fees as a
Planning &
means of financing city -wide improvements recommended in the SWMP.
Natural Resources
Connection fees are charged to subdivisions prior to final plat approval to recoup the
Phone: 952.227.1130
costs of the installation and maintenance of public storm water infrastructure.
Fax: 952.227.1110
The connection charges were derived from estimating the costs of all the pipes and
Public Works
7901 Park Place ponds proposed in the SWMP. The total cost has been apportioned so developments
Phone: 952.227.1300 are charged according to the number of acres developed and the land use. The fee per
Fax: 952.227.1310 acre varies by land use as a result of the amount of impervious surface allowed within
that land use category

Phone: 952.227.1125 At that time, the rates were calculated using market values of land in the City of

Web Site rates should be increased annually in line with the construction price index," but, until

changed. In 2010, Ehlers & Associates, the City's financial advisors, recommended a

Sewer and Water Fees (Section 4 -30 (c) 5.)
For 2012, the Ehlers & Associates study recommends a six percent increase to the water hook -up
and connection fees and a four percent increase to the sewer hook -up and connection fees.
Hook -up fees are also known as area trunk fees.
A lateral connection charge replaces a missed assessment. When the City installs a pipe next to a
property, some owners choose not to connect. In some instances, the City may not have assessed
the property owner for their portion of the pipe. When those properties eventually connect, the
lateral connection charge approximately covers the cost of the omitted assessment. These
charges are only levied in rare instances. Trunk hook -up charges, on the other hand, are for core
utility infrastructure such as wells, lift stations, and trunk main oversizing. Every new lot in the
City that hooks up to the utility system pays a trunk hook -up charge.
Hook -up fees paid at the time of final residential subdivision approval increase from $608.00 to
$632.00 /unit (sewer) and $1,618.00 to $1,715.00 /unit (water). The remainders of the sewer and
water hook -up fees are collected with the building permit at the rate in effect at that time. The

Page 13
total sanitary hook -up fee is increasing from $2,026 to $2,107 and the total water hook -up fee is
increasing from $5,393 to $5,717. Parcels within the Lake Ann Sewer District will also be
subject to the Lake Ann Trunk sewer fees in addition to the sewer trunk hook -up fees. The Lake
Ann Interceptor hook -up fee is increasing from $1,734 to $1,803 and the sub -trunk fee is
increasing from $1,818 to $1,891. Commercial, industrial and institutional developments pay the
total hook -up fee at the time of building permit. Trunk hook -up fees are based on the number of
sanitary access charge (SAC) units assigned by Metropolitan Council for office or
industrial /commercial buildings.
Lateral connection charges are charges for utility infrastructure which has been constructed by
the City but was not assessed to or paid for a property. Sewer lateral connection charges increase
from $6,783.00 to $7,054.00 and water lateral connection charges increase from $6,657.00 to
$7,056.00
Sewer Access Charge
The Metropolitan Council amends their Sewer Access Charge (SAC) fee annually. For 2012, the
SAC fee has been raised from $2,230.00 to $2,365.00. Rather than having to amend our
ordinance annually to incorporate the Metropolitan Council's revised fee, the City in 2011
amended the language to reference that the fee is established by the Metropolitan Council. The
total SAC fee for 2012 is $2,440.00 per unit, which includes a $75.00 City surcharge.
Utility Rates (Section 4 -45)
In 2007, the city experienced significant water usage events that lead the city to add tiers to our
water rates and adopt the tiered rate structure in 2008. In 2011, the City added a fifth tier for
household and irrigation use that is more than 99,000 gallons per quarter. For 2012, the Ehlers &
Associates study recommends a two percent increase to the water utility rates for Tiers 1 - 4 and
the bulk rate and a three percent increase for Tier 5.

Water, Sanitary Sewer, and Storm Water Rate Analysis
Executive Summary
October, 2011
Key Findings
The City of Chanhassen has requested Ehlers & Associates to update the utility rate analysis to review
rates for 2012 and beyond. In the 2010 report, we recommended that the City add a fifth water usage tier.
By doing so, the City was able to hold water usage rates at a 0% increase. Last year's report
recommended incremental rate increases for 2012 and beyond. This report reiterates those findings. We
have completed the review and determined that there are small rate increases proposed for connection
charges, platting fees, and area charges for water, sanitary sewer, and storm water for 2012. These rate
increases are consistent with the rate increases proposed for 2012 in prior year's report.

Water Utility Fund
The City accounts for both operations and expansion of the system in one fund. We have split these
functions into the Operating portion of the fund and the Trunk portion of the fund. The City's water
infrastructure is the cost driver in the water fund as a whole. The following chart shows the annual cost
breakdown in 2012 and 2019 for operating and capital costs for the water system. The capital costs and
related debt service are expected to increase steadily over the next five years. This is a trend that has been
illustrated in past studies. Capital and debt increase to over 1/3 of total utility costs, which is due to the
debt service related to the water treatment plant in 2018.

The City is building a water system to serve its residents and businesses on the hottest, driest days of
summer that produce peak demand. The City has taken steps to reduce this peak demand, such as every -
other day watering, but summer water consumption continues to be 2.5 times as high as winter water
demand, largely due to irrigation. To meet the increased demand for water, the City will need to invest in
additional infrastructure, in particular, the additional water treatment plant scheduled for 2019.
Usage Rates and Targeted Cash Reserves
The proposed rates impose the lowest increases possible that will still leave the City's water system in
good financial health. As was stated above, growth and the pressure of water usage during peak demand
times is driving operating and capital costs. In order to meet these needs, usage rates and connection fees
will need to be increased. Sufficient cash balances need to be maintained in order to assure smooth
operation of the entire water system. The City has set the cash reserve target to be six months' worth of
operating costs plus 15% of accumulated depreciation. The following graph shows the projected cash
balances as measured against cash reserves.

The cash balance in the operating portion of the fund has dropped below the target reserve amount
because growth has slowed in the City of Chanhassen. Growth is projected to slowly increase to 170
residential units per year in 2015 and beyond. Actual water usage decreased by 10% between 2009 and
2010. Weather patterns are the biggest determinant of usage. Our projections are based on lower water
use that was experienced during 2010. We have projected a small 2 % -5% increase in water usage
beginning in 2013. If water usage increases faster than this estimate, ending cash balance may be closer to
its target balance.
The water fund will maintain adequate cash to pay for expansion of the water system and provide for
operating needs.
Currently, the City's water usage tiers are as follows:
Tier 1: 0 -6,000 gallons
Tier 2: 6,001 to 24,000 gallons
Tier 3: 24,001 to 48,000 gallons
Tier 4: 48,001 to 99,000 gallons
Tier 5: Over 99,000 gallons (does not apply to commercial customers)
Water rate increases are necessary to meet higher projected future operating, capital and debt costs. The
proposed water rate changes are shown in the following chart.

We have projected the rate increases that will be necessary in 2012 and in future years. We are
anticipating the need to increase usage rates on Tiers 1 -4 by 2% in 2012 and 2013 and 3% per year
thereafter. Rates for Tier 5 are projected to increase 3% annually beginning in 2012. These rate increases
are consistent with the findings from the prior year's report. Depending on actual water usage patterns
over the next year, the city may need to consider a rate increase higher than 2% in 2013 in order to
maintain the financial health of the water utility.
In addition to the usage charges above, the City of Chanhassen collects a fixed quarterly charge of $5.01.
As with usage rates, it will be necessary for the fixed fee to increase. We are recommending this fixed
charge increase by 12c to $5.13 in 2012. Beginning in 2012, the fixed charge would increase at the same
percentage as Tier 1 -4: 2% per year in 2012 and 2013, and 3% per year thereafter.

Water Capital Improvements
The capital improvement plans for the water operating and trunk funds are attached in Exhibit B, which
begins on page 14 of this report.
The timing of the following planned capital improvements includes:
• Elevated storage tank in 2016.
• Water treatment plant in 2018.
• Painting of the Arboretum water tower, which was moved back one year, to 2016.
• Painting the Lake Lucy Water Storage Stand and Pipes and Well 915 in 2013.
Water Connection Fees
We are recommending that water connection and platting fees increase 6% in 2012 and 2013, and 7%
annually thereafter. This recommendation is consistent with the prior year's report. Connection fees are
an important source of revenue needed to expand the water system and pay for the second treatment plant.
The water connection fund will maintain adequate cash to pay for expansion of the water system. The
cash balance of the trunk fund will be sufficient to provide for capital costs. We have projected two bond
issues in 2013 and 2016, which would provide financing for capital projects scheduled in those years. The
graph below shows the anticipated cash balance in the trunk portion of the fund.

Sanitary Sewer Fund
The City of Chanhassen is part of the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) regional
treatment system. The single biggest expense in the operation of the sewer system is the MCES
disposal charge. The City does not control the annual fees established by MCES, and those fees have
increased significantly in the last three years. The Met Council is also facing pressures on operating
rates as new construction of residential and commercial has slowed in the region. If the MCES rates
are lower than anticipated in 2013 and later, the City may be able to correspondingly lower its rate
increases.

9.59%
In 2009 and 2010, the City increased the sewer rate 5% per year. There was no rate increase in 2011.
The City has been able to raise rates more slowly than MCES by postponing capital improvements and
using cash in the sewer operating fund. However, beginning in 2012, the City will need to begin
increasing rates. The prior year's study projected a 6% annual increase in 2012 and 2013, and 5%
annual increases thereafter. Currently, this analysis projects a 3% increase in 2012, a 6% in 2013 and
7% increases in 2014 and 2015. We are projecting a 5% increase in 2016 and thereafter. The delay in
the rate increase was accomplished due to the fact that actual 2010 ending cash balances were better
than projected.
We are projecting that the fixed quarterly fee of $19.45, which includes up to 6,000 gallons of sewer
discharge, should increase to $20.04. This is a 3% increase.
Sanitary Sewer Capital Improvements
The capital improvement plans for the sanitary sewer funds are attached in Exhibit B, which begins on
page 14 of this report. The timing of the following planned capital improvements has been changed:
• LS Trunk Lift Station #10 has been added for 2013.
• The vactor /sewer jetting truck has been moved from 2015 to 2016.
VA
Sanitary Sewer Connection Fees
As with the prior year's report, we are recommending that sanitary sewer connection and platting fees
increase 4% in 2012 and annually thereafter. Connection and platting fees are an important source of
revenue needed to expand the sanitary sewer system.
Target Cash Reserves — Sanitary Sewer Funds
Adequate cash reserves are needed to accommodate cash flow needs, fund emergency repairs, and
save for larger future capital projects. The recommended rates keep the fee increases as low as
possible and still leave the City's sewer system in adequate financial health. The projected cash
balances for the sanitary sewer funds are shown in the following graphs. The target cash reserve equals
9 months of operating expenses. The target reserve is lower for sanitary sewer than water because
replacement costs are expected to be less for the sanitary sewer system than the water system.

Target Reserves (9 mos. operating expense)
■ Ending Cash Balance
The cash balance in the operating fund has dropped below the target reserve amount because growth
has slowed and the MCES costs have increased faster than the user rates have increased. The above
graph shows the need to implement annual rate increases in 2012. Growth is anticipated to slowly
increase to 170 residential units per year in 2015. At that time, the cash in the sewer operating fund
begins to grow and is expected to reach the target reserve level by 2019.
The sewer connection fund is also expected to have adequate cash to pay for the capital costs of
expanding Chanhassen's sanitary sewer system. The graph that follows shows the projecting ending
trunk fund cash balance and capital costs. The cash balance declines in 2013 and 2018 when trunk lift
station improvements are scheduled. We are not projecting bond issues to finance these improvements.

Storm Water Fund
There is a 3% rate increase proposed for the quarterly storm water fee for 2012. The following chart
shows the proposed rates for storm water quarterly fees and for area charges for 2012 through 2016.

The projected cash balances will be adequate to meet on -going storm water expenditures, which include
pond maintenance, street reconstruction projects, implementing the surface water management plan, and
acquiring land for future storm water retention. We also expect capital needs will grow as the state
develops more regulatory requirements relating to storm water run -off and contaminated storm water
ponds. The planned capital improvements are shown in Exhibit B, which begins on page 14 of this report.

Cash Balances and Financing Capital Improvements
The proposed rates will provide sufficient revenue to pay routine operating expenses, pay for capital
improvements to upgrade and expand the system, and provide prudent cash balances. Adequate cash
balances allow the City to:
• Weather changing circumstances without rapidly increasing rates;
• Use cash to pay for many capital improvements and reduce the frequency of borrowing; and
• Maintain its bond rating from Standard and Poor's.
The study assumes that the City will finance utility improvements if there is not sufficient cash available.
No financing is expected for storm water improvements or utility improvements made in connection with
11
street replacement projects. In practice, the City staff will continue to use the rate study's financing plan
as a guide and, in consultation with its independent financial advisor, consider when and how much debt
to incur in any given year.
Summary
The economic and real estate crisis continues to affect the City of Chanhassen. The City is facing
reduced utility revenues from connection fees and area charges, and slower revenue growth than
previously anticipated from user fees. Furthermore, the City's ability to pass along cost increases to its
customers is constrained.
The City staff and Ehlers are recommending the following to manage the financial squeeze on the utility
funds:
1. Postpone capital improvements when feasible
2. Use cash balances in the utility operating funds
3. Adopt the proposed rate increases for usage, fixed and connection fees across the City's Water,
Sewer and Storm Sewer Funds.
The City's utility funds continue to be well managed, and the City's utility rates are competitive in the
region. A chart comparing Chanhassen's proposed 2012 rates to other communities' 2011 rates show
that, even with a proposed increase for water, Chanhassen maintains relatively affordable utility rates, as
shown on Exhibit A, page 13 of this report.
12
Exhibit A — Rate Comparison with Other Communities
The graph below compares the proposed 2012 utility rates with the 2011 utility rates for five other metro
communities. It shows that the City of Chanhassen continues to offer relatively affordable utility rates to
its residents and businesses.
The graph assumes a quarterly, residential usage of 27,000 gallons of water and 15,000 gallons of sanitary
sewer.
