Page 1 of 6 ‘For a full account of this meeting, please view the recording on the city website www. burleyidaho.org* Study’s focus was on the Municipal Plant, not Industrial Plant. The goal of the study was to balance financial needs with minimal impact on the customers. Current fee structure is not sustainable for a self-supporting model considering the variables that impact the facility’s maintenance and operation costs. Discussion ensued regarding the Cal Ranch lift station that was mentioned in the presentation. The study proposed an incremental increase table and timeline for the facility to become self-sufficient. A suggested fee structure was proposed. The last rate increase was implemented in 2018 calling for a significant increase in the first year, followed by increases that are less than 5%. These fees were based on the maximum capitalization amount. Discussion ensued regarding other City departments that have or are experiencing the same scenario in consideration of operation costs and fees charged for services. Other cities’ plants were discussed as well. The Special Meeting ended at approximately 6:59 p.m. INVOCATION AND PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE This item was considered after item #4 on the agenda.
