AGENDA
CITY OF MOSCOW
PUBLIC WORKS/FINANCE COMMITTEE
Monday, April 26, 2004
4:30 p.m.
CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBERS
206 East 3rd Street, 2nd Floor
1. Approval of Minutes of April 12, 2004 - Stephanie Kalasz
2. WRIA Discussion with Latah Soil Conservation Service - Kin Stinson
The City of Moscow has been working with the Latah Soil and Water
Conservation District for the past several years on water issues. One of the
initiatives that has resulted from this partnership is an active involvement
by Ken Stinson, the District Manager of the LSWCD in current water and
watershed discussions, including active involvement with City staff in the
State of Washington's Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA) process. The
LSWCD has been funded by the City in past years and a proposal for
continuation of that funding will be addressed in the FY2005 budget. Ken
Stinson will report to the Committee on LSWCD activities and how the City of
Moscow/LSWCD partnership provides mutual benefits.
ACTION: Receive report.
3. Interim Tiered Rate Structure - Les MacDonald
The City has recently received and accepted a Water Conservation Plan
for consideration. The proposed Plan includes a review of some of the rate
alternatives the City might consider. The City has asked for and received
from the Consultant, a proposed Interim Tiered Rate Structure (water only).
The proposed tiered structure would be an interim step for the purpose of
encouraging water conservation. The specific rate structure that is
appropriate for the City will depend on policy objectives related to the
conservation program, rate design considerations to send customers an
effective price signal, billing system constraints, and the need to recover
costs to ensure a financially viable utility.
ACTION: Accept the Interim Rate Proposal and forward to Council to
set a public hearing or take such other action deemed appropriate.
4. Water Conservation Ordinance - Les MacDonald
On April 19, 2004 City Council considered the Water Conservation
Ordinance on first reading. After some discussion and after receiving
public input, the Council requested that Public Works/Finance Committee
consider a list of topics and suggestions related to the proposed Ordinance.
City Attorney Randy Fife has has incorporated some of those suggestions into
a revised version of the proposed Ordinance and prepared a list of suggested
topics and changes to be discussed.
ACTION: Discuss for subsequent Council consideration and recommend
changes to the proposed Water Ordinance.
