Attachment D <br />4 "Ir. <br />&fr# 0 - T T-1 <br />I sks H_j Vq hi _j I j <br />Memo <br />To: Roseville City Council <br />From: Chris Miller, Finance Director <br />Date: November 18, 2013 <br />Re: Recommendations from the Public Works, Environment, and Transportation Commission <br />Background <br />At their October 22, 2013 meeting, the Public Works, Environment, and Transportation <br />Commission reviewed the information and reports included in the Staff Report and Attachments <br />B & C. At the conclusion of their discussion, the Commission issued the following <br />recommendations: <br />•'* Maintain the current 2 -tier water conservation rates <br />•'* Eliminate the Senior -based Discount Program in favor of a Financial Affordability <br />Discount Program <br />The Commission's recommendation to maintain the current 2 -tier water conservation rates was <br />made with the recognition of the challenge in fostering water conservation without penalizing <br />larger- occupant households. Especially considering that larger households can conceivably have <br />superior water conservation measures compared to smaller households. In making their <br />recommendation, the Commission noted that there should be further study before any changes to <br />the conservation rates are made. <br />With regard to their recommendation to eliminate the Senior Discount Program, the Commission <br />noted that simply being retired and on a fixed income does not necessarily mean that a household <br />is at a financial disadvantage. They further noted that many young families in Roseville are <br />dealing with greater financial struggles than retirees, and therefore should not be asked to <br />subsidize their water and sewer services. <br />The Commission recommended that the senior - eligibility portion of the Program be eliminated, <br />while the affordability portion expanded based on further analysis of the potential number of <br />eligible homes and the impacts on rates. <br />
