Notice of Public Hearing on Increased Fees

 

The City of Riggins proposes to increase the following fees, beginning October 1, 2006, by amounts that exceed one hundred and five percent (105%) of the fee revenue from the previous year:

(1)    Monthly sewer fees

(2)    Annual irrigation fees

(3)    Ambulance fees

 

(1)        The proposed monthly sewer fee increase is $3.00 per EU, which would increase residential accounts $3.00 per month, with commercial accounts increased proportionately depending on use.  The fee increase is proposed to partially fund necessary sewer treatment plant construction and upgrades.

 

(2)                The annual irrigation assessment is proposed to increase $12.50 per lot and $15.00 per acre.  See rate table below.  This fee increase is proposed to fund the annual costs of irrigation ditch repair and maintenance.

All citizens are invited to attend a public hearing on the increased fee request on August 14, 2006, at 7:00 pm in the City Hall Council Chambers, Riggins City Hall, 126 N.S#95, Riggins, Idaho, and have the right to provide written or oral comments concerning the fee increase and the entire city budget.
