PRIVILEGE LICENSE:
There were none.
FORMAL BUSINESS:
(A) Approval of increase in Utility Rates
Mr. Taylor stated ongoing maintenance and capital expenditures, including large meter
replacements, an 11 % water authority rate increase, 4% Cobb County sewer increase and
significantly lower sales volumes due to drought restrictions, require a change in our water, sewer
and meter rates. Mr. Taylor summarized the rate changes for those present, and stated that staff
recommends approval of the proposed rate increase.
u
Council Member Wood recognized Mr. Boyd, and Mr. Boyd stated the increases are needed to
provide funding for ongoing maintenance and rehabilitation of the City water system. Mr. Boyd
stated that even with the proposed increases water revenues are projected to be reduced by
approximately $1,000,000 next year. Mr. Boyd stated the proposed rate increases will cost
February 4, 2008
6
household consumers 17 cents per day. Mr. Boyd stated staff recommends approval of the new
rate structure as proposed. At Council Member Lnenicka's request, Mr. Boyd summarized steps
being taken to control costs associated with operating the City water system. Council Member
Lnenicka commended the City's leadership and public works staff for the work they have done to
improve the water and sewer system. Council Member Wood pointed out that water resources
will have to be conserved in the years to come and that water costs are increasing almost
everywhere.
u
MOTION: Council Member Wood made a motion to approve the water rate changes as
proposed. Council Member McNabb thanked Mr. Boyd for the analysis and advice he has
provided on this subject. Council Member McNabb thanked Mr. Glenn Page with the Cobb-
Marietta Water Authority for briefing the city council on water system management matters
earlier on this date. Council Member McNabb stated he understands why rate increases are
needed, but he believes the rates as proposed may represent an increase that is simply too great
at a time when a curtailment of water consumption has been called for. Council Member
McNabb stated he believes rates must go up to cover the costs of operating a water system.
Council Member McNabb stated he cannot support a rate increase of this magnitude at this time.
Council Member Newcomb stated a water system is created and maintained by funds collected
through water sales revenues and that the City of Smyrna has a record of managing its finances in
a responsible manner. Council Member Newcomb stated wholesale water costs and necessary
system maintenance expenses are all increasing. Council Member Newcomb stated he believes
that, when all considerations are factored into the equation, the cost of water even with the
proposed rate increases is still quite reasonable. Council Member Newcomb stated doing what is
necessary to ensure that first rate water and sewer service continues to be available to Smyrna
residents is the right thing to do. Council Member Pritchett stated the amount of money in
question is really a small sum when one considers that it enables the City to be proactive in regard
to providing water service to its citizens. Council Member Pritchett stated she supports the
motion. Mayor Bacon stated the Cobb-Marietta Water Authority will pass its cost increases
along to the City every year. Mayor Bacon stated water treatment costs increase when the water
level decreases at Lake Lanier. Mayor Bacon stated the City's water system must be properly
maintained. Council Member Wood stated the City has been associated with the Cobb-Marietta
Water Authority since 1952. Council Member Wood stated the Cobb-Marietta Water Authority
has been a reliable source of water at a reasonable cost to Smyrna citizens for many years.
Motion was approved 6 -I with Council Member McNabb in opposition.
