COMMISSION ITEM SUMMARY
~
-
Condensed Title:
An ordinance amending the City of Miami Beach City Code Chapter 110, entitled "Utilities"
amending Article IV, entitled "Fees, Charges, Rates, and Billing Procedures Division 2. Rates,
Fees and Charges" to increase the water supply service charge imposed by the City; adjusting
the schedule of rates for minimum monthly water service charge imposed by the City; providing
for a repealer, severability and an effective date.
Issue:
Shall the City amend the City Code increasing the charges for water and sewer?
Item Summarv/Recommendation:
On September 4, 2003 the City Commission passed, on first reading, the attached ordinance
increasing the wholesale water and sewer rates charged to the citizens of Miami Beach and
surrounding cities served by Miami Beach. This is a "pass through charge" in response to an
increase by the Miami-Dade Board of County Commission.
The present wholesale water rate charged to the City is $0.7693 per thousand gallons. The
proposed increase will raise the wholesale rates to $0.85 per thousand gallons. The annual
increase cost to the City is an estimated $700,513.
The present average wholesale wastewater treatment rate charged to the City is $1.66 per
thousand gallons. The proposed increase will raise the wholesale average cost of wastewater
treatment to $1.70. The annual increase cost to the City for wastewater treatment is
estimated to be $352,172. Increasing the water and sewer rates in the amounts levied by the
County will keep the City water and sewer funds balanced. Administration recommends
adopting the Ordinance.

(SECOND READING)
AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 110 OF THE CITY
OF MIAMI BEACH CITY CODE ENTITLED "UTILITIES," AMENDING
ARTICLE IV ENTITLED "FEES, CHARGES, RATES AND BILLING
PROCEDURES DIVISION 2. RATES, FEES AND CHARGES" TO
INCREASE THE WATER SUPPLY SERVICE CHARGE IMPOSED BY THE
CITY; ADJUSTING THE SCHEDULE OF RATES FOR THE MINIMUM
MONTHLY WATER SERVICE CHARGE; AND INCREASING THE
SANITARY SEWER SERVICE CHARGE IMPOSED BY THE CITY;
PROVIDING FOR CODIFICATION, REPEALER, SEVERABILITY, AND AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDS:
Adopt the ordinance.
ANALYSIS:
The rates for water supply and sanitary sewer services consist of a pass-through of the
wholesale rate the City pays to the Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department (W ASD) for
the purchase of potable water and treatment of sewage; debt service for the Series 2000
Water and Sewer Revenue bonds; operating and maintenance costs for the water and
sewer utility; and a 7.5% fee paid to the Miami-Dade County Environmental Resource
Management Department (DERM). The monthly minimum service charge for water is
based on the meter size and consumption per month as established by Code and will
increase to reflect the proposed rate.
The Miami-Dade County Water and Sewer Department notified the City of a proposed
increase for wholesale rate for water and wastewater treatment. The present wholesale
water rate charged to the City is $0.7693 per thousand gallons. The increase will raise the
wholesale rate to $0.8500 per thousand gallons. This reflects an increase in the average
rate of $.081 per one thousand gallons. The annual cost increase to the City for wholesale
water is an estimated $700,513.
The average wholesale wastewater rate for the fiscal beginning October 1, 2003 and
ending September 30, 2004 is proposed to be an average of $1.70 per thousand gallons.
This reflects an increased to the average rate of $0.04 per one thousand gallons. The
annual cost increase to the City for wastewater treatment is $352,172.
The City's utility rates are structured to collect the necessary amounts to meet the
operating and maintenance cost, the debt service for water and sewer bonds; and other
fees assessed by the County. Increasing the water and sewer rates in the amounts levied
by the County will keep the City water and sewer funds balanced.
CONCLUSION:
The City Commission should adopt the ordinance.

SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL TO AGENDA ITEM R5D - SPECIAL
COMMISSION MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 18, 2003
Subject:
The information below is an example of the additional costs of this Ordinance on a typical
family residence in Miami Beach:
Per existing City Ordinance, water and wastewater rates are scheduled to increase on
October 1, 2003. A typical family residence using 11,000 gallons monthly would see their
bill for water and wastewater increase from $69.31 to $69.85, or 54 cents. In addition, the
County is proposing to increase the water rate by 8 cents per 1 ,000 gallons of water, and 4
cents per 1,000 gallons of treated wastewater. This 12 cents pass through would add an
additional 52 cents to a typical family residence, increasing the bill to $70.37.
