The Commission deviated from the formal agenda and considered Agenda Item No. 2 based on information from staff before considering the contract.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 2: Discussion and consideration of water surcharge for purchase of water from Oklahoma City. (Information to be distributed prior to 8/28/06 meeting)
City Manager Jim Collard and Utility Directory Afsaneh Jabbar gave the staff report and a presentation that consisted of the information and recommendations that addressed the surcharge for purchase of water from Oklahoma City as summarized below:
*Staff recommendation: Charge $1.79 per thousand gallons
*Assumptions
· Contract with OKC on an “as needed” basis
· No surcharge for the first thousand gallons
· Assume a blend with the water from Wes Watkins
· Maintain a minimum Twin Lake level for proper operation
· For ease of operations-need additional storage capacity of 1,060 feet to 1,062 feet
· Water use surcharge of $1.23/unit cost per 1,000 gallons
· Storage surcharge of $0.56/unit cost per 1,000 gallons
The Commission reviewed four water bill samples on how the surcharge costs would be broken down for the residential and commercial users.
After further discussion the options that would be presented to the Oklahoma City Water Utilities Trust for its consideration was put into the following motion.
A motion was made by Vice Mayor Peterson, seconded by Commissioner Daugherty, to accept staff’s recommendation that: 1) charge $1.79 per 1,000 gallons based on the City of Shawnee Demand Availability contract (pay as you use) with Oklahoma City; 2) the first 1,000 gallons of use would be exempt from the surcharge; 3) a storage surcharge for ease of operations; 4) blending with Wes Watkins; 5) that the city staff revisit the water purchase in six months or before and bring a report back to the City Commission; and 6) the water rationing stays in effect. Motion carried 7-0.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 1: Discussion and consideration of Oklahoma City (Atoka) Water Contract. (Please refer to contract in 8/21/06
City Commission Agenda packet, Pgs. 50-117)
In discussion and consideration of the Oklahoma City (Atoka) water contract, staff advised the Commission that Oklahoma City was agreeable to changing the contract if the needed.
A motion was made by Commissioner Schrzan, seconded by Commissioner O’Neal, to accept staff’s recommendation on the water contract to be proposed to the Oklahoma City. Motion carried 7-0.
Commissioner Claybrook urged the citizens to be patient with city management in working out a solution to the water situation that has been on-going for several years before this city management was employed with the City.
Mayor Mills allowed a couple of citizen input and advised that this was a work session for the City Commission.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 3: Adjournment
There being no further business to come before the meeting, a motion was made by Commissioner Schrzan, seconded by Vice Mayor Peterson, that the meeting be adjourned. Motion carried 7-0. (6:29 p.m.)
