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

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

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
