ROJAS, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR / ~ ,._~- WASTEWATER CAPITAL PROJECTS: 1998-2012 The attached list contains our best estimate of wastewater related capital projects projected into the future. The list generally conforms to the Brown & Caldwell Supplemental Master Plan with adjustments relative to more recent experience, e~pecially at WWTP#3. Projects have been included that were not considered in the master plan. All of WWTP#2 disposal area is curranfiy owned in fee by the City and operated by one lessee. If additional disposal area were acquired on other than a fee ba.~ and operated by a party other than our lessee, the probabilit~ of operational problems would be h/gh. (Such as: who gets water, how much, and when?) To avoid these problems and as.~re proper disposal of our e/fluent, we propose the additional 960 acres of farm property be acquired in fee. In the future should other meanx of d/~posal becotue available, (such a~ to a water cl/str/ct) the farm land could be sold and funds returned to the wastewater account. Attachment Alan Tandy, City Manager MEMORANDUM JANUARY 14, 1997 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER /~././~_._ GREGORY J. KLIMKO, FINANCE DIRECTOR TREATMENT PLANT EXPANSION - CONNECTION FEES The financing plan for Sewer Treatment Plant upgrades and expansion are as follows: 1997 - Plant 2 upgrade and expansion to 25 mgcl - $26.5 million financed by cash on hand and a state 1998 - Plant 3 expansion to 16 mgd with odor control - $13.5 million. The connection fees were estimated as fottows: YEAR AMOUNT 1996-97 $1,260 1997-98 $1,500 1998-99 $1,700 1999-00 and after $1,900 The current bonds outstanding mature in Septem13er 2010. The connection fees to service this debt would then be decticated to service new debt issued in 2009. 2009 - Plant 3 expansion to 24 mgd with odor control - $25.5 million. The attaciqecl memo from Raul Rojas dated October 24, 1996 accelerates the 2009 Plant 3 expansion to 2003. This will require higher connection fees due to the overlap of the current bonds outstanding and a similar bond principal amount issue in 2003.
