Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: March 20, 2018
To: City Council
Through: Jim Hunt, City Manager
From: Kristin Erchinger, Finance Director
Agenda Item: Rescind and Replace Water and Sewer Tariffs so Rates Increase 2.1 % over 2017;
Indefinitely Delay Reclassification of Water/Sewer Customers Previously Billed
Metered Rates in Error; Reduce LGS Metered Customer Rates to Equal SGS
Metered Customer Rates; and Plan Total Future Revamp of Water and Sewer
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
On November 27, 2017, the Seward City Council passed Resolution 2017-077 amending the Sewer Tariff
and Resolution 2017-078 amending the Water Tariff, with intent to raise rates only 2.1%. When the
intended 2.1 % rate increase went into effect, some customers saw a sewer charge increase of 3 3 % or more.
Affected customers assumed the increase resulted from reclassification of their accounts from, for
example, metered rates to ERU rates; the increase did not result from a decision to reclassify any customer
account but was due to historical billing and classification errors.
SEWER TARIFF ISSUE
Upon further investigation, it was discovered that staff did only increase rates by 2.1 % over the 2017
approved Tariff. The problem however, was twofold:
1) Problem #1: Historical rates being billed to Large General Service (LGS) customers in the billing
system did not match the tariff rate; rates were mis-entered into the billing system by staff. Thus,
customers in LGS rate class were erroneously under -charged at the lower Small General Service
(SGS) rate for many years. The differential between what should have been charged historically
according to the Tariff, versus what was charged in the billing system, resulted in customers being
under -billed according to the Sewer Tariff, by between 64% and 115%.

Proposed Solution to erroneous LGS rate: Rescind Resolution 2017-077; this will not however,
correct the problem with billing of higher rates, since rolling back to 2017 approved Tariff -- where
Class D LGS Metered Rates are, for example, $12.94 for the first l OK gallons — would result in an
increase in LGS metered sewer rates of between 64% and 115%. Therefore, staff recommends
rescinding and replacing with a Sewer Tariff that will make the LGS Sewer metered rates equivalent
to the SGS Sewer metered rates, which is consistent with past (erroneous) billing practices. This
will ensure that LGS customers' rates increase only 2.1 % over the 2017 billed rates.
2) Problem #2: In the process of preparing for the rate change, staff identified a number of customers
previously charged for metered water and sewer charges, but whose rate classes were not eligible
for metered rates. SGS customers should, by definition, not have been billed metered rates, but
should have been billed ERU rates, according to the tariff definitions. The 2018 original Tariff
attempted to correct this problem by eliminating the SGS Metered Rate Class and allowing only
LGS Metered Rates (see Water Tariff, which has only one metered rate class). The original intent
was that between the time of the rate change and July 1, 2018, staff would identify the customers
who should have been billed ERU rates, send them a letter explaining that the billing department
had made an error in their classification, and reclassify them to ERU rates. Since staff only recently
identified the issue, the magnitude of the problem was not known until the new rate increase took
effect. By eliminating the SGS rate class, any SGS customers previously (erroneously) charged
metered rates, was billed in February, at the LGS rate which, as stated above, was between 64%
and 115% higher, until their accounts could be reclassified to ERU rates (which, for most
customers, would also reflect a potentially substantial increase in rates).

Proposed Solution to erroneous SGS rate: Rescind Resolution 2017-077; this will not however,
correct the problem with billing of higher rates related to misclassification of customer accounts. Staff
recommends passage of Resolution 2018-020 which will indefinitely delay implementing further
corrections to the classification of certain water and sewer customer accounts (Class A, B, C), where
the customer has been improperly billed for metered rates and which should have been billed instead,
standard ERU rates. Staff further recommends passage of Resolution 2018-022 which will restore the
metered block rate structure for customers with meters, classified as Class A, B or C. The end result
will be that affected customers in this class (i.e. Residential and Small General Service customers
currently with meters) will see a rate increase of only 2.1 % over the 2017 billed rates, and they will
be assured that they will not revert to ERU rates unless further Council action is taken.
6
WATER TARIFF ISSUE
The Water Tariff has always had only one metered rate schedule; thus, fewer problems result from the
original 2018 Tariff which affect water customers. Specifically, the 2018 Tariff unintentionally eliminated
the words "unmetered" and "non -metered" from the Group C (Large General Service) Classification (this
Class primarily affects non -metered schools, non -metered hospitals and non -metered laundromats).
Restoring those words will ensure affected customers who are metered, that they will not revert to ERU
rates, as the verbiage changes will show that Class C rates (ERU rates) do not affect customers in Class C
who are metered. This will resolve the concerns expressed by the laundromat and Alaska Sealife Center,
among others.
FUTURE RATE STUDY AND TARIFF STRUCTURE CHANGES
The administration recommends that Council authorize a comprehensive Water and Sewer classification
and rate study which would involve holding public meetings aimed at crafting new Water and Sewer
Tariffs more aligned with the economic realities of Seward's changing demographic and economic
structure. An expert in water and sewer rate classifications may, for example, suggest that installing water
meters for all small and large businesses, will ensure that customers are charged only for their
consumption. If designed properly, this could eliminate the current inequities associated with seasonal
businesses; for example, hotels, inns, and beds -and -breakfasts which, by Code, are not offered a rate break
for vacancies in the off-season, or restaurants and employee lodging establishments charged ERU (flat)
rates during the winter when they consume much less water. It could eliminate the current inequities
associated with some SGS customers being billed metered rates, with others billed ERU rates. It might
suggest the elimination altogether, of the concept of ERU rates, where staff are expected to visit each
building, count the number of sinks, rooms, chairs, laundry units, etc., and assign the number of Equivalent
Residential Units for billing purposes. This review is somewhat sub j ective and causes confusion and
billing inconsistencies when a building changes use -type or where customers may not use certain
appliances or rooms which are in their building but not being used, and which affect the calculation of
their billing calculation (i.e. sinks for salons, rooms for rent).
1101 M 0101 W
The intent of the combined five resolutions is to ensure that, with the exception of Water customers
affected by the increase in base rate for 1 V2" — 2" meters, all customer classifications see a 2.1 % water
and sewer rate increase over the 2017 billed rates, as was originally expected by the Council, staff and the
public. Further, it will impose an indefinite moratorium to prevent customer accounts currently billed
under metered rates, from being reassigned to ERU rates, unless Council takes future action.

FISCAL NOTE:
The magnitude of these problems was not known when formulating the 2018/2019 Budget. Since the
proposed "fix" will return all customer classes to a 2.1 % rate increase above 2017 billed rates, and since
that is what was anticipated by staff when developing the 2018 Tariffs and the 2018/2019 Budget, there
is no anticipated impact on the budget resulting from these actions.
Approved by Finance Department:
ATTORNEY REVIEW: Yes No X
RECOMMENDATION:
Council approve rescinding the 2018 Sewer and Water Tariffs (Resolution 2017-077 and 2017-088),
replacing them with tariffs that will effectively result in rate increases of 2.1 %over 2017 billed rates, and
authorize an indefinite moratorium to freeze the classification of customer accounts currently billed
metered rates (not reclassifying them to ERU rates) until future Council action may deem otherwise.

RESOLUTION 2018-020
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEWARD,
ALASKA, RESCINDING RESOLUTION 2018-008, WHICH
AUTHORIZED THE SEWARD PUBLIC UTILITIES TO ALLOW A
DELAY OF UP TO SIX MONTHS IN THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE
WATER AND SEWER TARIFFS TO CORRECT THE CLASSIFICATION
FOR SOME CUSTOMERS INCORRECTLY BILLED METERED WATER
AND SEWER RATES RATHER THAN STANDARD MONTHLY RATES,
IN ORDER TO INDEFINITELY DELAY THE
RECLASSIFICATION OF CUSTOMER UTILITY ACCOUNTS
IMPROPERLY BILLED AT METERED RATHER THAN "ERU"
RATES, PENDING FURTHER DIRECTION BY THE SEWARD
CITY COUNCIL
WHEREAS, the Seward City Council passed Resolution 2018-008 on January 22, 2018,
authorizing Seward Public Utilities to allow a delay of up to six months in the effective date of the
water and sewer tariffs to correct the classification for some customers incorrectly billed metered
water and sewer rates rather than standard monthly Equivalent Residential Unit ("ERU") rates; and
WHEREAS, the billing department has determined that a number of customers classified as
Residential and/or Small General Service — which are classes not subject to metered water and sewer
rates per the Water and Sewer Tariff — were incorrectly billed under the metered rate structure rather
than based on ERU; and
WHEREAS, the Seward City Council intends to hold future work sessions to evaluate the
Water Tariff and Sewer Tariff and address the use of metered rates versus Equivalent Residential
Unit rates, and until such time as a determination is made with respect to the appropriate handling of
Residential and Small General Service classifications, the billing department will not further re-
classify customers previously assigned metered rates which should have been billed ERU rates.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SEWARD, ALASKA that:
Section 1. Resolution 2018-008 approved on January 22, 2018 is hereby rescinded effective
immediately.
Section 2. Seward Public Utilities is hereby authorized to indefinitely delay implementing
further corrections to the classification of certain water and sewer customer accounts, where the
customer has been improperly billed for metered water and/or sewer rates, and who should instead
have been charged standard ERU rates under the Residential (Class A), Small General Service
(Class B), or Large General Service (Class C) classifications.

CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA
RESOLUTION 2018-021
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEWARD,
ALASKA, RESCINDING RESOLUTION 2017-077, WHICH AMENDED
THE SEWER TARIFF TO PROVIDE FOR A 2.1% RATE ADJUSTMENT
BEGINNING THE FIRST BILLING CYCLE OF THE 2018 CALENDAR
YEAR, ADDING A SEASONAL TURN-ON/TURN-OFF FEE,
CLARIFYING THAT METERED RATES APPLY ONLY TO CLASS D
CUSTOMERS, AND OTHER HOUSEKEEPING CHANGES
WHEREAS, the Seward City Council passed Resolution 2017-077 on November 27, 2017,
amending the Sewer Tariff to provide for a 2.1 % rate adjustment beginning the first billing cycle of
the 2018 calendar year, adding a seasonal turn-on/turn-off fee, clarifying that metered rates apply
only to Class D customers, and other minor housekeeping changes; and
WHEREAS, as a result of implementing the intended 2.1 % rate increase, a number of
historical billing system errors were discovered which, in the past, resulted in under -billing
numerous customers based on incorrect classification of customer accounts or incorrect historical
rates being applied to a rate class, with said errors causing the implementation of the 2018 tariff
rates approved on November 27, 2017, to have a significantly higher impact on some customer rates
than intended by the Seward City Council; and
WHEREAS, to alleviate the rate shock associated with this action, the City Council desires
to rescind Resolution 2017-077 in its entirety, retroactive to January 1, 2018.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SEWARD, ALASKA that:
Section 1. Resolution 2017-077 approved on November 27, 2017 is hereby rescinded
effective retroactively to January 1, 2018.
Section 2. All previous Resolutions in conflict herewith are hereby repealed effective
January 1, 2018.
Section 3. This resolution shall take effect immediately upon adoption.
PASSED AND APPROVED by the City Council of the City of Seward, Alaska, this 20th day of
March, 2018.

CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA
RESOLUTION 2018-022
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEWARD,
ALASKA, RESCINDING RESOLUTION 2017-078, WHICH AMENDED
THE WATER TARIFF TO PROVIDE FOR A 2.1% RATE INCREASE,
CLARIFYING METERED VERSUS NON -METERED, INCREASING
BASE RATE FOR 1 1/2" - 2" METERS, CHANGING THE SEASONAL
DEFINITION, AND OTHER MINOR HOUSEKEEPING ISSUES
WHEREAS, the Seward City Council passed Resolution 2017-078 on November 27, 2017,
amending the Water Tariff to provide for a 2.1 % rate adjustment beginning the first billing cycle of
the 2018 calendar year, clarifying metered versus non -metered, increasing base rate for 1 1/2" — 2"
meters, changing the seasonal definition, and other minor housekeeping issues; and
WHEREAS, as a result of implementing the expected 2.1 % rate increase, concerns were
raised about the unintended elimination of the words "un -metered" or "non -metered" from the
Group C Large General Service classification definition, and these words were unintentionally
removed from the Group C definition; and
WHEREAS, the tariff defines Group D Metered Commercial and Industrial Service
classification as "commercial and industrial enterprises where water usage is greater than for small
businesses...", and Group A, B and C customers as ERU fee customers based on the charge schedule
accompanying each of the Groups within the tariff; and
WHEREAS, metered rates have historically applied only to accounts within Class D, but
due to apparent interpretation differences within the billing department, it has come to light that a
large number of Class A and B customers with water meters, have been assigned metered rather than
ERU rates, leading to concern that changes in the tariff which were originally intended only to
clarify rather than change intent, would result in many customers no longer being billed under the
lower metered rate schedule; and
WHEREAS, to alleviate customer concerns associated with this action, the City Council
desires to rescind Resolution 2017-078 in its entirety, retroactive to January 1, 2018.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SEWARD, ALASKA that:
Section 1. Resolution 2017-078 approved on November 27, 2017 is hereby rescinded
effective retroactively to January 1, 2018.
Section 2. All previous Resolutions in conflict herewith are hereby repealed effective
January 1, 2018.

CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA
RESOLUTION 2018 -XXX
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEWARD,
ALASKA, AMENDING THE SEWER TARIFF TO PROVIDE FOR A 2.1% RATE
ADJUSTMENT BEGINNING JANUARY 15, 2018, ADDING A SEASONAL TURN-
ON/TURN-OFF FEE, CLARIFYING THAT METERED RATES APPLY ONLY TO
CLASS D CUSTOMERS, AND OTHER MINOR HOUSEKEEPING CHANGES
WHEREAS, the Seward City Council passed Resolution 2017-077 on November 27, 2017, for the
purpose of amending the Sewer Tariff, and subsequently rescinded that resolution on March 20, 2018 via
Resolution 2018-021; and
WHEREAS, the 2018 Sewer Tariff as adopted via Resolution 2017-077 purported to increase sewer
rates by only 2.1 %, but due to a combination of billing system rate table errors and the incorrect
classification of a number of customer accounts, the end result was a significantly higher impact on some
customer's rates than intended by the Seward City Council; and
WHEREAS, the attached Sewer Tariff accomplishes the original intent of Resolution 2017-077 in
two ways; 1) it reduces the Class D (Large General Service and Industrial metered -rate customers) block
rate structure to reflect an increase of only 2.1 % over the rates previously applied to customers in the Class
D rate class, despite those prior rates being significantly lower than the approved tariff; and 2) it restores
the metered block rate structure for customers with meters who are currently classified as Class A, B or C,
despite the fact that those rate classes are not, by definition, eligible for metered rates, by applying a 2.1 %
increase over the 2017 Class A, B, and C rates.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SEWARD, ALASKA that:
Section 1. The Sewer Tariff for 2018 is hereby approved in substantial form as attached hereto.
Section 2. All previous Resolutions in conflict herewith are hereby repealed effective January 1,
2018.
Section 3. The Sewer Tariff clarifies that metered rates apply only to Class D (Large General
Service metered and Industrial metered) customers; however, the Seward City Council passed Resolution
2018-020 on March 20, 2018, approving an indefinite delay in the reclassification of customer utility
accounts previously improperly billed under metered rather than ERU rates, pending further direction by
the Seward City Council. Therefore, all customers currently billed metered rates at the time of the passage
of this resolution, shall remain as metered customers until otherwise directed by further Seward City
Council action.
Section 4. This resolution is retroactive to January 15, 2018.
PASSED AND APPROVED by the City Council of the City of Seward, Alaska, this 20th day of March,
