(35)Ordinance:Approving an ordinance to amend Chapter 204,Section 204.5, Waukee Municipal Code,Rate of Rent and Manner of Payment,to provide for an increase in sewer rent base charge from $5.16 for zero through 1,000 gallons of water usage per month,to $5.66,effective April 1,2003,increasing to $5.91 beginning July 1,2004;and providing for an increase based on water usage in excess of the minimum of 1,000 gallons,from $3.84 per 1,000 gallons per month,to $4.34 effective April 1, 2003,increasing to $4.59 beginning July 1,2004 (intro and first reading)Wayne Johnson introduced the ordinance.Don Bailey,Jr.moved to have the first reading in title only.Nick Gruber second.Wayne Johnson discussed the history behind the changes recommended by the Utilities Committee.Mr.Scott Sanders of PFM was present to discuss his analysis of the status of the sewer utility.Mr.Sanders indicated that one of the concems when a utility has debt outstanding is to identify the amount of revenue remaining after subtracting operating expenses.This amount,called the coverage ratio, would be available to pay the debt service.In the case of the city the current coverage ratio is $1.08 of revenue for every $1.00 of debt.The margin of solvency in this utility is very narrow.Most ofthe covenants the city has with regard to debt service have a $1.10 coverage ratio requirement.In addition,the sewer utility revenue is also used to pay for some general obligation debt.When that expense is factored in the coverage ratio drops to $0.78 for every $1.00 of debt.Also the sewer utility's cash balances are and were deteriorating.These problem areas were the driving forces behind the suggested increases in the sewer fees and in the development capital fees.If this ordinance increasing each family's monthly bill by $2.50 were approved and the ordinance amending the development capital fees were also approved,the debt coverage would be back above $1.10 during the FY 2003-2004.The sewer utility's ability to bOlTOWmoney at very good rates has been damaged by this occurrence.If corrected as quickly as possible,the effect of the incident as recorded in the historical record of the city's financial activity would be minimized.In addition all projects other than the day to day expenses in the sewer fund have been eliminated.There is very little flexibility in the funds remaining in the sewer funds.Don Bailey,Jr.suggested that the increase in the sewer rates might not be necessary,if the proposed Ordinance amending the Development Capital Fees for Community Services were changed to delete the developer's fee and increase the builder's fee by doubling the proposed amount required of the builder.Mark Arentsen and John Gibson discussed Councilman Bailey's proposal 1 8 and indicated that the idea could be reviewed by staff prior to the next regularly scheduled council meeting.Chuck Thomas addressed Mr.Bailey's idea as discussed for this ordinance and requested deferring the final reading of item 38 until the next regularly scheduled council meeting.Mr.Thomas was directed to request the deferral of item 38 at the time it was to be considered.Mr.Bailey requested tabling this item until the next regularly scheduled meeting.Council discussed the request.Mayor Leslie indicated that the item would be postponed until the January 20,2003 meeting. (36)Ordinance:Approving an ordinance to amend Chapter 501,Waukee Municipal Code,Regulation of Traffic Upon and Use of the Streets of Waukee,Iowa,by amending Section 501.11,to designate the intersection of Locust and Fourth Street as a No Left Tum Intersection for traffic east bound on Locust Street at Fourth Street from 7:30 A.M.to 4:30 P.M.Monday through Friday during the school year (intro and first reading)Introduced by Mr.Bailey.Mr.Watts moved to have the first reading in title only.Mr.Gruber second.Brief Discussion.Roll call:Ayes:Watts,Gruber,Bailey, Peard,Johnson.Motion carried 5 -O.Cathy Paardekooper read the ordinance in title only. (37)Ordinance:Approving an ordinance to amend Chapter 212,Waukee Municipal Code,of the City of Waukee,Iowa,by amending Section 212.2,to eliminate exceptions to restrict open burning within the city limits of the city of Waukee,Iowa,and to eliminate the exception for plant and vegetable matter burning during certain times,by deleting from the first paragraph of said section tlte words,"Except for the burning of plant and vegetable matter originating on the premises owned or leased by such person,between the hours of 7:00 A.M.to 7:00 P.M.,April 15/1<through April 3(/1<, excluding Sundays,and between the hours of 7:00 A.M.to 7:00 P.M.,November 1 to November 30,excluding Sundays,with said fires being extinguished and not smoldering by the 7:00 P.M.Deadline."(third reading)Don Bailey,Jr.moved to have the third reading in title only and place this ordinance on its fmal passage.Mike Watts second.In addition to Mr.Tovrea's comments received during the Open Forum,Mr. Bailey has visited with individuals who will have difficulty getting their leaves to the burn site.Mr.Bailey suggests creating a list of volunteers who would be willing to provide such service to individuals who do not have the means to haul their leaves. Mayor Leslie has also received inquiries,concerns,comments regarding the proposed ordinance.One such was an email from Mr.and Mrs.Jessen who indicated they were adamantly opposed to the burning location at the water tower because of the city's attempts to bum in that location during the last few years.Mr.and Mrs.Jessen were not opposed to the elimination of the open burning at all locations within the City of Waukee. Mr.Dave Massey,Operations for Waste Management Director,indicated it would cost about $1,000 per week extra or about $6,000 per year to collect leaves and transport to a refuse location.If Waste Management were to add this to the monthly fee,the increase would be approximately $.26 per household.If garbage containers were not used for Waste Management pick up,the cost of paper bags would be an additional expense. There also could be other routes or other ways of picking up and deliverying so that the cost for the city could be decreased somewhat.Mrs.Stork of 655 Ashworth Dr. commented that she and her family bag approximately 300 bags every fall.She feels that the better way would be to include the charge for the leaf maintenance in with the garbage collection.She also commented that it would be extremely cost prohibitive for 9 her family to bag all of the leaves.Mayor Leslie requested the Roll Call:Ayes:Bailey, Watts,Gruber,Peard,Johnson.Nays:None.Motion carried 5 -O.CathyPaardekooper read the ordinance in title only. (38)Ordinance:Approving an ordinance to amend Section 303.158A,Waukee Municipal Code,Development Capital Fees for Community Services,of the City of Waukee,Iowa,by deleting the first unnumbered paragraph of said section and subparagraph A thereof,and inserting in lieu thereof updated Development Capital Fees for Community Facilities as described in Section 1 hereof (third reading)Mr. Bailey thought continued discussion and potential modification ofthe ordinance needs to occur prior to adopting this ordinance and requested that tins item be tabled until the council brings it back.The ordinance will come back in a modified form and will come back for a first reading at a future meeting.Mr.Bailey moved to table this item.Mr. Peard second.Roll call:Ayes:Bailey,Peard,Watts,Johnson,Gruber.Nays:None.
