A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ANNA, TEXAS APPROVING THE ANNA 23, CONCEPT PLAN C. Conduct a Public Hearing / Consider / Discuss / Action approving an Ordinance adopting Sanitary Sewer Utility Rates for FY2025. (Budget Manager Terri Doby) During the FY2021 budget process, the City of Anna completed a utility rate study with the assistance of a consultant. This process included a review of all utility costs incurred by the City, all personnel, maintenance, and operations costs, along with the anticipated rising costs of purchasing wholesale water from the Greater Texoma Utility Authority (GTUA) and the North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD). In addition, the sewer treatment costs were also evaluated. The FY2025 budget has a rate increase commensurate with these philosophies and strategies of keeping the utility solvent and sustainable as we continue to expand with residential and commercial growth. This ordinance adopts a new rate schedule for wastewater rates in the City of Anna for FY2025. The City of Anna charges for water consumption, wastewater consumption, and other fees related to providing consumers with utility services. As an enterprise fund, the revenues charged should, at a minimum, cover the fund's operating expenses and debt service, as well as any other policy goals defined by the City Council, including funding for capital projects, capital equipment replacement, and conservation efforts. Staff has reviewed the financial condition of the Utility Fund with the assistance of our rate model and is proposing rate increases. The revised recommendation includes a rate increase on the base charge and volumetric charge for wastewater by ten percent. Along with additional infrastructure needs, the City will experience a 15 percent increase in the cost of treatment from the North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD). These increases are required to ensure that the Utility Fund maintains viability. The increases ensure that the City is able to cover the rising costs of sewer treatment and the associated costs of transmission of sewer to treatment facilities. The proposed rate increases represent the minimum recommended needed to balance the revenues and expenses of the Utility Fund while meeting the needs of the growing population we serve. The proposed increases are solely proposed to cover cost increases the City is facing and the funding of capital improvements. Averaae Monthly Total Bill Increase for Residents: FY2024 FY2025 Water (5,000 gallons) $60.24 $60.24 Sewer (5,000 gallons) $63.73 $70.10 Total Average Monthly Utility Bill $123.97 $130.34 Mayor Cain opened the public hearing at 9:03 PM. No comments. Mayor Cain closed the public hearing at 9:04 PM. Increase $6.37 $6.37 MOTION: Deputy Mayor Pro Tern Baker moved to approve. Mayor Pro Tern Carver seconded. Motion carried 7-0.
