Final
Mr. Giuseppe (Joe) Amorelli said he was before the Council at the last meeting regarding his high
sewer charges for his 8-unit apartment. He said today he received a seven page letter from the City
on water conservation but nothing about lowering his sewer bill. Mr. Amorelli said he is unable to
pay $65 per unit for sewer usage and wanted to know what the City is going to do about his bill.
Mr. Cassens said the letter that was provided to the Council and Mr. Amorelli included historical
information and water usage since 2010. Mr. Cassens said over the last five years the number of
rented units has increased. In 2010 there were three, in 2011 and 2012 there were four, in 2013
there were five, in 2014 there were six, and now in 2015 there are eight units rented. Mr. Cassens
said the increase in water usage over the years has increased the sewer surcharges, and the extra
pages that were attached with Mr. Armorelli’s letter were water conservation tips on how to save
water during winter quarter averaging.
Mr. Brett Miller addressed the Council and said on behalf of the coaches, parents, and sports
players, he wanted to thank the Council for including money in the upcoming budget to over-seed
the fields during the winter months at ASU.

8.9 ID 15-0270 Adopt Resolution No. 15-2956 Adopting the Fiscal Year 2015-16 Budget;
and Approving the Fiscal Year 2016-17 Estimated Budget
Mr. Cassens advised that the Council and City staff have been working on the budget for months
and there have been no additions. He stated that there was one change from what he originally
noted at the first budget work session in his budget message. He said originally it was his intent to
convert the Interagency Council grant to a contract; however, after working through the details it
became obvious that the package of service that the City has come to expect from the Interagency
Council does not lend itself to a contract; therefore, the City intends to leave the Interagency
funding in the grant category. Mr. Cassens added that in doing so there is no net difference.
Mayor Nexsen added that Exhibit C shows the transfer out of the Irrigation and Drainage District
(IDD) to Wastewater of $2 million, but because of what the City believes will be a successful
refinancing; the number will most likely be reduced to $1 million.
Mayor Nexsen opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public hearing.
Mayor Nexsen noted that the reason the budget is $418 million is because the City is doing the
refinancing of the sewer project and the budget must show the payoff of the old loans and the new
money coming in for the new loans, which is basically a wash.

8.15 ID 15-0277 Adopt Resolution No. 15-2954 Declaring Intent to Reimburse
Expenditures Made Prior to the Date of Issuance from Proceeds of Bonds
or Other Obligation Issued by or On Behalf of the City for the Expansion
and Improvement of the Wastewater System
Mr. Cassens advised that the item before Council satisfies the United States Treasury regulation
and allows the City to reimburse itself for funds that have already been expended on the Mulberry
Basin Effluent Project, which the City has subsequently added as the new project to the refinancing
of the former GADA loan to the new WIFA loan. He said the new WIFA loan requires the
inclusion of a new project, and this project lends itself nicely to that purpose. He said the City did
some preliminary design for the Mulberry Basin Effluent Project. He said the total amount spent on
the design was less than $30,000, and added that this resolution allows the City to be reimbursed
for those expenses once the bond proceeds have been realized.
Councilmember Lin asked if the City knows what the exact cost of this new project will be, to
which Mr. Cassens replied $1.5 million total. Councilmember Lin asked what the total would be
after refinanced, to which Mr. Cassens replied $58 million was for the GADA refinance and $1.5
million for the project, for a total just over $60 million.
Mayor Nexsen opened the public hearing. There being no comments, he closed the public hearing.

River, and asked for recommendations on how the community can be educated and informed about
the water issues in the community.
City Attorney Kelly Garry said Ms. Cunningham could certainly speak with Dr. Wilson following
the meeting. She noted that there is a water conservation group and a lot of activities that the City
does for those that want to be involved.

said there has been a slight increase due to labor and insurance increases, which the City found to
be reasonable. He said when this project originally went out to bid there was only one bidder and if
the City were to bid out this project again this year, and only have one bidder, the prices could
increase; therefore, the City does not see it as advantageous to go out to bid again.
