RESOLUTION No. 2015-037
RESOLUTION APPROVING UTILITY RATE INCREASES AND ELIMINATION OF FUTURE
WHEREAS, staff has completed a review of the following funds: water, sanitary sewer, water
resources and the solid waste recycling program; and
WHEREAS, staff is recommending rate increases for 2015 as outlined in the utility study
and adjusted by ordinance; and
WHEREAS, staff also reviewed the senior sewer discounted rate program that is offered
to residents 62 years of age or older, homesteaded in the property and the utility account is in
the resident's name, to receive a 10% discount on the consumption fee; and
WHEREAS, staff is recommending discontinuing future enrollment into this program as it does
not benefit all residents, it targets a small population of the City, does not incent conservation, and add
to administrative costs for the City. This will allow the program to phase out over time.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLYMOUTH,
MINNESOTA, that the recommended rates increases and elimination of future enrollment to the senior
sewer discounted rate program are hereby approved.
APPROVED this 27th day of January, 2015.
