3. Resolution 4502 - Sewer Rates Public HearingREPORT TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Jim Hansz, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Sewer Connection Fees
MEETING DATE: August 16, 1999
BACKGROUND: The City water connection fee schedule is undergoing revision to provide for
the connection of meters larger than four inches diameter. An appropriate fee amendment is
proposed. Once this change is made to the water connection fee schedule a similar amendment is
necessary for the sewer connection fee schedule. This is required because sewer connection fees
are based on the size of water service to a property. The present sewer connection fee schedule
includes sizes up to four inches diameter but no larger sizes. The attached Exhibit A is
recommended to correct this situation and a Resolution authorizing a public hearing is attached.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the Resolution amending the City sewer connection fee
schedule.
FISCAL EFFECTS: None regarding expenditures. Potential additional future revenues cannot
be estimated.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Council
Respectfully submitted,

RESOLUTION NO. 4502
A RESOLUTION SETTING A DATE FOR A PUBLIC HEARING ON A PROPOSAL TO
ADOPT INCREASES IN THE FEES, SCHEDULES, RATES, CHARGES AND
CLASSIFICATIONS IMPOSED ON THE CUSTOMERS OF THE KALISPELL SEWER
UTILITY.
WHEREAS, the Utility Rate Schedule for the Kalispell Sanitary Sewer
Utility establishes an indexed Sewer Connection Fee
Schedule based upon water meter sizes from 5/8" to 4" in
diameter, and
WHEREAS, the Sewer Connection Fee is based on the ratio of the
capacity of the various meter sizes, and
WHEREAS, currently the City has no Sewer Connection Fee for water
meter sizes over 4" in diameter, and
WHEREAS, water meter services of over 4" in diameter have
significant impacts on the operation of the sewer
collection system and the Waste Water Treatment Plant, and
WHEREAS, in order for the City to provide for the eventual impacts
of large diameter services upon its Sewer Utility, it is
appropriate that the City consider establishing fees for
6", 811, 10" and 12" water meter sizes.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
KALISPELL, AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION I. That there is hereby set a Public Hearing on
the 1't day of November, 1999, at 7:00 P.M., in

"A" attached hereto and thereby made a part
hereof.

hereby authorized and directed to make, publish
and distribute notice of said Public Hearing in
