Regular City Council Meeting <br />Monday, April 26, 2010 <br />Page 15 <br />system; staff's review of comprehensive technology solutions and product capa- <br />bilities, including promoting efficiency and conservation; more pro-active re- <br />sponse to leaks and water usage; retrofit capabilities; decreased reading and bill- <br />ing time; reliability; staff resource management; and uses of more-detailed pro- <br />grammable and adaptable data. <br />Mr. Schwartz reviewed the two phases for the proposed seven year implementa- <br />tion plan: <br />Phase I - 2010 - 2012 <br />Start-up; all commercial; 650 new meters + radios; 350 retrofits with ADE <br />head and radio; approximately 900 residential new meter + radios <br />Phase II - 2013 - 2016 <br />Residential focus; finish remaining 8,400 residential meters; new meter + <br />radios on aging meters; retrofitting newer meters <br />Mr. Schwartz reviewed impacts to water customers, with incremental rate in- <br />creases anticipated within three years, but not implemented immediately during <br />initial installation; and worst-case scenarios for residential customers at an esti- <br />mated 1.5 - 2.5% rate increase, or $3.52 increase annually on a residential base <br />fee. Mr. Schwartz reviewed the benefits to residents of leak detection and dollar <br />savings for the resident and City through that early detection; and detailed water <br />usage provided for customers allowing for more efficient budgeting and accuracy <br />of the meters. <br />Mr. Schwartz provided specific examples of early leak detection as customer ben- <br />efits for residents and/or commercial users based on actual experiences over the <br />last year. Mr. Schwartz reviewed the average customer service requests fielded <br />by staff per month. <br />Mr. Schwartz addressed proposed project funding and system cost comparisons, <br />as detailed in the RCA; and staff recommendation for the Neptune fixed-base <br />AMR system that will work with the City's current inventory of meters; as well as <br />start-up costs and net comparisons for the phases of the installation. <br />Discussion included application for a licensed radio frequency band by the City <br />through the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) and upon receipt to re- <br />turn to the City Council with a purchase order request to begin purchase of the <br />various components to facilitate apro-active meter replacement process; educa- <br />tional steps to alert the public; recovery of annual operating costs through utility <br />rates, as with other capital investment plan (CIP) purchases; and longer life of me- <br />ters due to the higher quality of water in Roseville than in some other distribution <br />systems using well water with more mineral components. <br />
