--- . .Recommendation
-' - It- is- recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute
�_ .� irantr�ct amendments with the wholesale water customers, a sample of which is
which provides that the Touche Ross rate methodology and wholesale
- ---water rates be implemented in fiscal year 1988, and the 1987 Touche Ross
- - wholesale water rate study and the computer model be used to project rates for
the five-year period beginning in 1989. .
Discussion
Beginning in May, 1987, the Fort Worth Water Department staff and the Wholesale
Water Advisory Committee met to select a rate consulting firm, discuss
potential wholesale water contract revisions, and review the 1987 Touche Ross
Wholesale Water Rate Study. As a result, the Water Department staff proposed,
and the Mayor' s Council approved, a contract amendment which implements the
rate methodology and rates of the 1987 Touche Ross Wholesale Water Rate Study
in fiscal year 1988. ;In addition, the amendment provides that the Touche Ross
rate study and computer model will be used by Fort Worth in fiscal year 1989 to
project rates to be charged -for the five-year period beginning in 1989.
The contract amendment - is viewed by the Fort Worth Water Department staff as a
first-step in renegotiating the wholesale water contracts which expire in the
period from 1993 to 2002. It is expected that the amendment would be a
temporary measure prior to revision of the wholesale water contracts in 1988.
Although the amendment is a temporary measure, it benefits the City in two
ways:
1) It immediately requires a rate review in 1989, whereas, the current
contract allows rate adjustments only every five years; and
2) It serves as an inducement to renegotiate the contracts for the long-term.
As of November 4, 1987,. .nineteen of the twenty-four billed wholesale water
customers have signed the contract amendments. Upon receipt of signed contract
amendments from all wholesale water customers and execution of the amendment by
City Council , the Fort Worth Water Department staff will proceed with contract
negotiations.
