FROM: Mayor Edwards
DATE: November 7, 1989
SUHJF~CT: Ordinance No. 1263
I am vetoing Ordinance No. 1263 and sending this Ordinance
back to the Council unsigned.
I am not sure that the Council realized that Sec. 3F on Page
8 increased the sewer rate from 0.675 per 100 cubic feet to 0.886
per 100 cubic feet.
I realize that 0.886 per 100 cubic feet is what is needed to
payoff the bonds and finance the sewer operations. However, I
feel that the discussion about this subject was not complete when
this Ordinance was passed. Therefore, I am asking for you to
consider t his ordinance again.

solids for untreated wastes received at the treatment plants, computed
from treatment records by omitting values for days in which rainfall
contributed to flow. Values for BOD and for suspended solids shall be
computed on the basis of the total number of pounds received at the
treatment plants.
3. From data obtained in subsections 1 and 2 above, the total
annual cost per pound of BOD treatment and, per pound of suspended
solids treated shall be computed.
In making these calculations, the total annual cost obtained as
outlined in subsection 1 shall be apportioned as follows:
Forty percent (40~) of total assigned to volume.
Thirty percent (30$) of total assigned to 90D.
Thirty percent (300) of total assigned to suspended solids.
4. In calculating extra strength surcharges applicable to any
particular user, data shall be obtained pertaining to the volume of
wastes discharged and to the 30D and suspended solids applicable to
such wastes. Credit shall be given for 30D up to two hundred (200)
milligrams per liter and for suspended solids up to two hundred forty
(240) milligrams per liter being included under the service charge and
volume charge. For strengths in excess of two hundred (200)
,~
milligrams per liter BOD and two hundred forty (240) milligrams per
liter suspended solids, charges per pound shall be made in accordance
with the results of calculations as outlined in subsection 3 for the
billing period.
Extra strength surcharges determined for the preceding year shall
be applied until a new determination is made of the unit costs for BOD
and suspended solids and of volume and strength of wastes discharged
by a user.
In the event that a change in sewage volume or strength is
considered to have taken place, the City will have the right to obtain
updated information on volume and strengths of a user's discharge and
to make adjustments in the number of pounds applicable for surcharge.

arrangements may be worked out with the Superintendent for additional
