Question 2

What is City of Vernonia looking for?

Accepted Answer

Perform a rate design study for all system development charges (SDC's) that ensures the city's SDC rate structures are equitable, understandable, and recover city costs.  Work includes: Evaluate existing methodologies and rate structures for SDC fees for the five SDC fees identified (water, wastewater, storm water, parks, and streets) and recommend changes; conduct a survey of SDC rates of similar cities within Oregon to understand how Vernonia's rates and methodologies compare; analyze existing and potential alternative rate structures, present alternative approaches with an analysis of advantages and disadvantages of each alternative, provide a recommended rate structure, for consideration, participate in a meeting with city staff and present the City Council work session to discuss evaluation of existing and alternative rate structures; and produce and deliver an updated SDC rate structure and identify annual rate increase to keep rates moving with inflation costs.
