Background and Analysis:
The 2017 Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) was presented in July followed by Planning Commission review. On October 18 the Council held an earlier public hearing. This hearing provides additional opportunity for the Council to hear from the public on changes made since the earlier hearing (attached).
The 2017-2022 revised CFP is $141,127,463. The bulk of the changes are in Transportation. The Transportation section will be reprinted and available for the public hearing. The changes mainly reflect revisions to impact fee-funded projects.
The utilities comprise about 35% of the total CFP expenditures. The utility budgets include the following increases in residential rates:
Drinking Water - 5.7% revenue increase
Wastewater - 4% rate increase
Stormwater - 6.3% rate increase
LOTT - 2% rate increase
Waste Resources:
Residential - 0% increase
Commercial - 0% rate increase
Organics - 6.5% rate increase
The CFP also includes increases in impact fees (including the Olympia School Disrict) and General Facilities Charges. (See attachments.)
