SANITARY SEWER RATES
ISSUE
Should the City Council approve an agreement in the amount of $14,000.00 with
the Red Oak Consulting for professional services associated with reviewing
sanitary sewer rates?
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of Resolution
BACKGROUND
The Pueblo City Council adopted a 10 -year financial plan for the wastewater
enterprise in 2006. This financial plan included a series of wastewater rate
increases intended to capture the full cost of operating the wastewater system
and allowing for rehabilitation of the sanitary sewer infrastructure.
The Municipal Code requires that sanitary sewer rates be reviewed no less often
than every two years. In 2006 the City Council expressed a desire to receive
annual updates on wastewater rates. Red Oak Consulting was selected as the
City's wastewater rate consultant of record in 2005.
A copy of the agreement with Red Oak Consulting is attached.
