Report
Issue:
Whether to adopt the revised 2018-2019 UAC Work Plan and elect a Chair and Vice-Chair.
Staff Contact:
Andy Haub, Water Resources Director, 360.753.8475
Background and Analysis:
The UAC reviews and forwards recommended agenda items to City Council each year for the upcoming April to March time period. Utility staff typically develop the draft plan with UAC input on potential topics.
As discussed at the January UAC meeting, the work plan as proposed by staff emphasizes four key areas:
• Sea Level Rise Response Plan
• Waste ReSources cost of service and rate analysis
• Storm and surface water finances
• Initial work on an update to the Wastewater Plan
• Overall Utility budgets, rates, general facility charges, and capital facility plans
These topics focus on utility policy and finances.
Based on our January discussion, staff modified the draft work plan and included additional items. With UAC support, the work plan will be submitted to City Council for approval.
Additionally, the UAC needs to elect a Chair and Vice-Chair to take effect April 1, 2018. The current Chair and Vice-Chair are Roger Wilson and Dever Haffner-Ratliffe, respectively.
