CITY OF MERIDIAN
BY THE CITY COUNCIL: BIRD, BORTON, CAVENER,
MILAM, ROUNTREE, ZAREMBA
A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING AN INTERIM RATE FOR THE PROVISION OF
SEWER SERVICES TO MERIDIAN HEIGHTS WATER AND SEWER DISTRICT
CUSTOMERS UNTIL THE TRANSITION OF ALL WATER AND SEWER
SERVICES IS COMPLETE; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS on January 28, 2014, the City of Meridian annexed 310.2 acres of land
located south of W. Victory Road, east of S. Linder Road, and west of S. Meridian Road
("Victory South annexation"); and
WHEREAS the Victory South annexation includes the area served by the Meridian
Heights Water and Sewer District ("MHWSD"), an independent taxing district formed to provide
water and sewer services to the residents of the Meridian Heights and Kentucky Ridge residential
subdivisions; and
WHEREAS, by December 31, 2014, MHWSD customers will transition to receiving
water and sewer services from the City of Meridian; and
WHEREAS, until the transition is complete, MHWSD shall continue to provide, and bill
its customers for water services, and the City shall provide sewer services to MHWSD's
customers and shall bill MHWSD for such sewer services; and
WHEREAS, the City has calculated a monthly rate of $6,325.00 to provide services to
all MHWSD customers by applying the current City rate formula ($8.48 per account and $5.43
volumetric rate per 1,000 gallons of effluent discharged), to historical data indicating MHWSD s
flow and accounting for the percentage of sewer pipes within the boundaries of the District that
will be owned and operated by the District until the City takes ownership of the infrastructure;
and
WHEREAS, the Public Works Director has demonstrated that this methodology of
calculating a rate for provision of sewer services to MHWSD. customers until the transition of
services is complete will not create a need to increase the rate charged to current City rate payers;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MERIDIAN, IDAHO:
Section 1. That the City shall provide sewer services to MHWSD, and shall bill
MHWSD $6,325.00 monthly, until the transition of the provision of, and billing for, water and
~ sewer services from MHWSD to City is complete.
