05/21 /2012 <br /> (g) Bi-Monthly Billing. Water meters or classes of water meters may be <br /> read bi-monthly, and the corresponding billing period shall be for a two- <br /> month period. In such event, the cubic foot delivery amounts specified in <br /> the foregoing rate table shall be doubled for the purpose of computing the <br /> applicable water quantity charges. <br /> (h) After-hour Turn-on Fee. The fee for direct costs associated with <br /> turning on water meters or classes of water meters during non-business <br /> hours of the Public Works Services Department shall be $320.00. When <br /> after-hour turn-on is requested by a user, this fee shall be charged and <br /> collected on the user's next ensuing Utility Bill. <br /> SECTION 2. This ordinance is statutorily exempt from CEQA review pursuant to <br /> Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(8). The City Council finds that the water <br /> service charges and fees are for the purpose of ineeting operating expenses, including <br /> employee wage rates and fringe benefits, purchasing or leasing supplies, equipment, or <br /> materials, meeting financial reserve needs and requirements, and obtaining funds for <br /> capital projects necessary to maintain service within existing service areas. The Staff <br /> Report dated May 7, 2012 expressly states in the "Background" section and in <br /> "Attachment 3" and "Attachment 4" that increases in wholesale water rates necessitate <br /> a rate increase and that revenues are used for the operation and maintenance of the <br /> water system, for an emergency reserve, and for replacement of the system. <br /> SECTION 3. This ordinance shall be effective on July 1, 2012. <br /> * * * <br /> ATTY/ORD.372/WATER RATE INCREASE ORD. # 2383 <br /> REV: 04-27-12 HWS 5 MUFF # 802 <br />
