A) CALL MEETING TO ORDER
B) ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION
1. Recommendations from the Ad Hoc Committee on Boards and Commissions
Resolution 2022-122 created the Ad Hoc Committee on Board and Commissions on November
15, 2022. The purpose of the Committee was to consider and make recommendations regarding
improved efficiency and consistency of board and commission processes and to reduce barriers
to participation. The Committee convened its first meeting in January 2023 and concluded its work
in July 2023.
2. Water Supply Requirement and Excess Water Use Fee Increase.
As prices continue to rise for water supplies and the infrastructure to support them, Fort Collins
Utilities (“Utilities”) determined it needed to re-examine its Water Supply Requirement (“WSR”) and
Excess Water Use (“EWU”) fees. The WSR and EWU fees do not apply to customers or developers
served by other water districts.
Based on a detailed consultant recalculation and recommendation, staff is proposing to increase
fees substantially from $68,200 per acre-foot to $179,500 per acre-foot for the WSR, and $16.67
per 1,000 gallons to $43.87 per 1,000 gallons for EWU. These fee increases will apply to both
commercial and residential development and redevelopment, as well as existing commercial
customers with a water allotment who incur an EWU charge. These fees do not apply to
redevelopment unless there is an increase in water service.
These fees will go to Council for approval in November with implementation on January 1.
However, given the significant increase, we would like to consider options to help customers adjust
to and pay for the increased fees.
