Presentation of Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan PUBLIC HEARINGS 1. Original Ordinance No. 1788, amending Section 13.44 of the LMC to regulate water rates in the City of Laramie; 2. Original Ordinance No. 178 9, amending Section 13. 48 of the LMC to regulate wastewater rates in the City of Laramie. /s/ Jodi Guerin, Mayor Attest: Sue Morris-Jones, CMC, City Clerk Publish: July 08 & 12, 2009.  Public Hearing on Proposed Water and Waste Water Rates July 14, 2009 To clarify some points of possible misinformation gleaned from press reports and letters to the Boomerang during recent weeks: 1) There is a Wyoming State mandate 1 for all municipalities that henceforth the true 2 cost of service for such items as water delivery and wastewater treatment be reflected in the rates charged by the municipalities. 2) The $85 million capital improvement plan laid out by the consultants is a I 0- year plan, not four years as may have been understood by the public from reports in the newspaper. 3) The Red Oak consultants built into their future estimates a 3.5% inflation per annum for operations and maintenance and 5% inflation per annum for capital, which may be accurate, but then again, may not. 4) The Red Oak water and sewer rate schedule for the next four years, as published, will have to be revisited annually by the City Council during budget deliberations. If by some miracle the financial picture were to look better than anticipated in the rate study, the rates could be adjusted downward. · 5) The Red Oak rate study has anticipated grant opportunities and awards for the City of Laramie for water and sewer projects to continue at a level similar to the current rate. Given the current state of the economy, this projection may or may not hold true. 6) A water rate graph comparing water rates of other Wyoming municipalities to Laramie's rate pegs an anticipated 2013 Laramie rate against current rates of those other communities. This will be true if these other communities see no rate increases during that time ... and most likely would have ceased delivering water due to the collapse of their systems. 1 Operating Criteria of the Wyoming Water Development Program http://wwdc.state.wy.us/opcrit/final opcrit.pdf 2 Wyoming Statute 16-1-108 (c) http://legisweb.state.wy.us/statutes/statutes.aspx?file=titles/Title 16/Title 16.htm Wyoming State Statutes 16-1-108. Obligations and responsibilities of pruiicipating agencies. (a) No pruiicipating agency nor any legal entity created pursuant to this act shall constrnct, operate or maintain any facility or improvement other than for service to and use by the participating agencies and their resident customers, except for undertakings pursuant to W.S. 16-1-104(c)(xii). (b) No agreement pursuant to this act shall relieve any participating agency of any obligation or responsibility imposed upon it by law except to the extent of actual and timely performance thereof by a joint powers board or other legal or administrative entity created by an agreement hereunder, the performance may be offered in satisfaction of the obligation or responsibility. (c) After April 1, 1998, any legal entity created pursuant to this act or any of its participating agencies, which owns, constructs, operates or maintains a municipal or rnral domestic water supply system funded in whole or in part by state grants or loans, shall not assess public entities or individual water users in the cooperating agencies' service area water rate charges which exceed the actual costs of providing and delivering water to the point of connection to the public entities' or individual water users' water system. The governing body of the entity may establish one (1) or more service areas in each of which an average water rate may be used for all customers. A one time connection fee or system investment fee reasonably calculated to permit recovery of a proportionate share of the system infrastructure cost necessary to treat and convey the water may also be chru·ged. A one-time fee may also be charged to recover reasonable expenses incurred by the public entity in determining the actual costs of treating and delivering water to the point of connection. Charges for special services such as customer's line maintenance shall be in addition to the water rate. As used in this subsection, "actual costs of providing and delivering water" shall include a proportionate share of the following costs related to the water system: (i) Fees, interest charges and principal payments on all bonds issued and other indebtedness incurred to construct, purchase or improve the utility; (ii) Salaries and wages of employees; (iii) The cost of materials, supplies, utilities and outside services; (iv) Other costs directly related to the delivery system; (v) The cost for providing and maintaining a depreciation fund, a fund for emergencies and a fund for acquisition and development of new water rights and water sources; (vi) Administrative and overhead expenses; and (vii) The cost of acquiring, transporting, processing and treating water.  NOTICE OF CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the following Meetings of the Laramie City Council will be held Tuesday, July 14, 2009, at 6:00 p.m., in Council Chru~ers of City Hall, 406 Ivinson Street, for the following purposes: WORK SESSION 1.

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 13.44.010 WHICH ESTABLISHES THE WATER RATES FOR USERS OF MUNICIPAL WATER. WHEREAS, the City has been furnishing water to various customers in ever increasing numbers for a large number of years; and, WHEREAS, the cost of that service has been increasing, especially taking into account the necessity of replacement of the aging water supply system in the City; and, WHEREAS, the City is mandated by the State to establish a rate structure that insures that the water supply enterprise account is self sustaining and not supported by the general fund, having the users of the enterprise account pay the expenses of that account; and, WHEREAS, the City has retained a professional group, Red Oak Consultants, to study the water rate structure and report its findings, together with a recommendation for changes to address the future needs of the City with the demands of the water supply system and a rate structure to support those demands; and, ( WHEREAS, that study has been completed and the results of the study, together with the recommendation by the consultants, having been presented to Council, and Council having fully considered the study and the recommendations; and, WHEREAS, the Council finds that it is in the best interest of the City to amend the water rates to reflect a series of increases over the following four years as provided in the amendments presented herein in lieu of a large singular increase; and, WHEREAS, the Council finds that all of the specified increases are necessary to address the demands of the water supply system over the entire specified period of time; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LARAMIE, WYOMING that the following sections of Chapter 13.44 be, and the same hereby are, amended to read as follows: Section 1. Section 13.44.010 Rate Schedules. A.
