City Council <br />Meeting Minutes <br />January 6, 2015 <br />Page 7 of 15 <br />PUBLIC COMMENT <br />Debby Fahey, 1118 W. Enclave Circle, Louisville, CO stated there are funds available <br />for emergencies, however, most of the money raised by the Senior Foundation goes to <br />Xcel Energy bills and cannot be used for other utilities. There are funds raised from <br />other sources such as the silent auction, however, currently there is a deficit in that <br />fund. <br />COUNCIL COMMENTS <br />Mayor Muckle also agreed with smoothing the increases over a period of time. He <br />noted the Wastewater Treatment Facility is mandated for improvements. He supported <br />the drainage project and felt it will be a valued activity. He stated a flood in the area <br />would be devastating to those property owners. As to whether the projects should be <br />shifted, he felt it would affect the funds available through Urban Drainage. <br />Public Works Director Kowar explained the stormwater project was an outcome of a <br />2011 study of the drainage on the eastern portion of the City. At the time, there was not <br />any support from the City of Lafayette or Boulder County Open Space, but over the past <br />few years the City has developed those partnerships. He felt Urban Drainage would be <br />flexible and the project could be moved. The overall 50% increase in the residential <br />rates is over a five -year period. He felt the project is beneficial and it is not a major <br />impact to the utility bill. The wastewater treatment plant is the City's biggest impact and <br />it will be difficult to smooth those rates. With respect to the intergenerational equity, he <br />noted this is a 20 -year loan. <br />Mayor Muckle requested staff take the Council's comments into account for the <br />February 3, 2015 meeting. Public Works Director Kowar asked if staff provided enough <br />data for the February 3rd meeting. Council members confirmed the data was sufficient. <br />WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT AND <br />LAFAYETTE- LOUISVILLE BOUNDARY AREA DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS <br />COLORADO WATER RESOURCES AND POWER DEVELOPMENT <br />AUTHORITY PUBLIC MEETING FOR A STATE LOAN <br />Mayor Muckle requested a staff presentation <br />Public Works Director Kowar noted with respect to the utilities rate plan, an essential <br />component is acquiring loans to build a $30 Million wastewater treatment plant and for <br />an $8.5 Million stormwater project. The City staff has been working towards an <br />application process for approval of low interest loans from the Colorado Water <br />Resources and Power Development Authority (CWRPDA). A State Revolving Loan <br />Fund requires a public meeting where the project is presented with 30 -day notice of the <br />public meeting. The public meeting is scheduled for February 17, 2015. <br />
