<br /> City Council <br /> Special Meeting Minutes <br /> September 26, 2006 <br /> Page 3 of 5 <br /> one-year extension. The contract will expire in 2007. Staff will bring forward <br /> another contract before the end of the calendar year. <br /> WATERJWASTE WATER <br /> Finance Director Leslie presented a comprehensive review of the Water and <br /> Wastewater Funds. For 2007, the City of Louisville is proposing a 3% water and <br /> sewer rate increase across the board. Studies compiled by Denver Water show <br /> that Louisville water rates are one of the lowest in the region in 2006 based on an <br /> average annual usage of 120,000 gallons. Rate increases are implemented to <br /> cover increases in operational costs. The Denver/Boulder Consumer Price <br /> Indexes, which are tied to inflation, show a 3.8% increase from last year in June <br /> 2006. Some of the other highlights in the fund are listed below: <br /> . The water and sewer charges budget for 2007 is based on a 3% rate <br /> increase. The revenue forecast for 2006 will be $6.3, which is $1.6 <br /> million over budget. Therefore, the City has projected water and sewer <br /> charges to be $5.9 million in 2007. <br /> . Currently, staff is estimating a 3% increase in personnel services over <br /> the 2006 budget. The actual personnel costs have not been calculated <br /> on a cost center basis for this review. We received benefit rates <br /> increases for 2007 on September 21, 2006 and will begin to enter the <br /> rates into the payroll system to better calculate a 2007 cost for <br /> personnel. Staff does not anticipate that the City will incur more than a <br /> 3% increase in personnel costs over 2006 budget. <br /> . Major capital project items include the first phase of the Windy Gap <br /> firming project expected to begin in 2007 with design costs of $450,000 <br /> and construction starting in 2008 for $5,831,000. Also, the City is <br /> anticipating replacing its meters over a period of 4 years for a total <br /> project estimate of $2.0 million. <br /> . The City is within its debt ratio coverage of 1.15 for the next five years. <br /> Public Works Director Phare addressed the 2007 budget and noted there will be <br /> no major shift in activities at the water or waste water plants, and no additional <br /> personnel will be added, however, there will be some equipment replacement. <br /> He explained the long-range capital projects budget includes radio frequency <br /> water meters, however until the technology meets the level of Staff's expectation, <br /> the water meter replacement program will be put on hold. <br /> Finance Director Leslie reviewed the projected water and sewer tap fees for <br /> 2007. <br />
