Specifications include, but are not limited to: . Develop alternative rate options (as applicable) that are based upon the assignments of relative revenue responsibility and address other City policy objectives, including the following: a. Consider and make recommendations regarding water‐based rates. If recommended, consider and assist with the possibility of cooperative agreements with the two private water companies within the city limits to obtain water usage information, to help with enforcement of delinquencies, or other beneficial arrangements. b. If water‐based rates are recommended, make recommendations regarding water use for irrigation, separate winter and summer rates, incentives to minimize irrigation, etc. Recommend wastewater service rates that equitably apportion revenue responsibility among customer classes in accordance with costs incurred by the utility and the customer in provision of that service, including the following concerns: a. Make recommendations to ensure the equity of rates for restaurants. The current square footage rate does not consider hours of operation, types of restaurant (take out, sit down, fast food, etc.), number of fixtures, etc. Furthermore, when the optional water‐based rate is used by restaurants, the rate varies significantly from the square footage‐based rate in almost every case. b. Make recommendations for commercial properties with shared restrooms, both when the property is one parcel and multiple parcels, and when only office spaces or mixed use (offices, restaurants, salons, etc.).
