Importance: Normal

Hi Grant,

There were only three items adjusted during the last Council meeting.

1. The bulk water rate was adjusted to match the use rate since it was not address during the last water rate adjustment.

2. The plan review fees went down from 5% to 1.5%.

3. The construction inspection fees went down from 5% to 3.5%.

These items were highlighted in yellow to bring attention to the changes. The rest of the fees and charges show which Resolution made changes to them in the right hand column. All except for the ones highlighted in yellow were done in 2016 or earlier.

No adjustments were made to the SDC’s. The SDC’s were adjusted back in December through a long and well publicized process that started in the summer of 2016 in accordance with Oregon law. So, SDC did not significantly increase as of Feb 8^th as stated below. If builders in the community, or anyone for that matter, have questions about fees or rates related to Public Works they can call or email me at any time to ask questions. I will be happy to talk to them. Thanks and have a good weekend.

Regards,

Gerald Fisher, P.E. | Public Works Director

Dan Huff, City Administrator

If I missed this I am sorry but on page last few pages of the agenda package for Feb 8^th, I read that the city council would adopt by resolution the new service fees. The most important to my builder members would of course be the SDC fees for construction of a single family home, most probably to use a ¾” water service. This I thought would have been required to be adopted and the vote recorded as stated in the resolution. This was not a notice or call to alarm, just a notice that the SDC fees for a new single family would significantly increase as of Feb. 8^th. I also offered an apology to them for failing to inform them sooner. If informed they might have wanted to make input. You must admit that it being on the last pages of the large document it was hard to find.

Leota – The City Council did not address SDC fees in any way last night. You made a decision on “bulk water rates” only with regard to water. Your decision does not impact ¾” inch water meter’s or fees associated with a ¾ “ water meter. The City Council did address SDC fees this past December 2016 after 6 months of meetings and data production including advanced notice. I am unaware of any unpreparedness.

The Council meeting has a many listed event tonight. The ODOT appeal is one, but one not published in advance or known to me is the increase in SDC fees for a house with a 3/4 " water meter.

The total SDC fees for this typical home will now be $22,096.44 immediately upon adoption. Last time we had many homes under construction and were not prepared for the increase.
