NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
IRONHOUSE SANITARY DISTRICT
TRUNKLINE AND PLANT CAPACITY FEE INCREASES

On Tuesday, May 7, 2013, the Ironhouse Sanitary District (District) Board of Directors will hold a public hearing to consider an adjustment in trunkline capacity and plant capacity fees.  This public hearing is part of a regularly scheduled meeting of the Board.  Oral or written presentations may be made during the hearing.  The Board’s meeting will begin at 7:00 p.m. and will be held at the District’s offices at 450 Walnut Meadows Drive, Oakley, California 94561.

The amounts of the proposed adjustment, which may be changed at the meeting, are as follows:

            1.         A $.00 increase in the trunkline capacity fee, keeping the fee at its current temporary discounted rate (Resolution No. 11-07, adopted September 6, 2011, effective September 12, 2011) of $640.50 per equivalent dwelling unit (EDU) until the temporary fee discount expires (September 30, 2013 or 350 EDU’s, whichever occurs first), at which time the fee will revert back to September 2011 non-discounted rate of $854.00. 

            2.         A $.00 increase in the plant capacity fee, keeping the fee at its current temporary discounted rate (Resolution No. 11-07, adopted September 6, 2011, effective September 12, 2011) of $3,331.50 per equivalent dwelling unit (EDU) until the temporary fee discount expires (September 30, 2013 or 350 EDU’s, whichever occurs first), at which time the fee will revert back to September 2011 non-discounted rate of $4,442.00. 

The adjustments in the trunkline and plant capacity fees are the District’s annual increases/decreases in accordance with District Ordinances No. 21 and 02 to keep the fees in line with construction cost inflation for the San Francisco Bay Area. The adjustments are based on the 0% increase posted in the March 2013 edition of the Engineering News-Record’s index of construction costs in the San Francisco Bay Area. 

The meeting will begin at 7:00 p.m. and will be held at the Ironhouse Sanitary District Office, 450 Walnut Meadows Drive, Oakley, California.
