AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF AUBURN, WASHINGTON, AMENDING
SECTION 13.06.360 OF THE AUBURN CITY CODE
RELATING TO UTILITY RATES
WHEREAS, Auburn Ordinance No. 6401, adopted May 7, 2012, provided
for monthly utility rates for the various classes of customers who receive water
service from the City of Auburn, for the period from June 1, 2012 through 2017,
as shown in Auburn's Municipal Code ACC 13.06.360; and
WHEREAS, these customer classes included a Wholesale category, with
separate rates for Auburn's two wholesale customers: City of Algona, and King
County Water District No. 111 (WD #111); and
WHEREAS, the WD #111 wholesale rate was based in part on the
December 6, 2010, Interim Water Sales Agreement (Auburn Resolution No.
4660) between the City of Auburn and WD #111, providing a "Take or Pay"
Agreement whereby WD #111 would purchase a minimum block of water each
year on a "take or pay" basis; and
WHEREAS, the "Take or Pay" Agreement of Resolution No. 4460 will
terminate on December 31, 2016, by mutual agreement of Auburn and WD #111;
and
WHEREAS, as WD #111's wholesale rate in ACC 13.06.360 was based
on the "take or pay" concept, which is soon expiring, it is now appropriate to
modify that rate to reflect the actual cost of providing WD #111 with future
wholesale water service.
