� Attachement A <br /> costs. Should there be any other miscellaneous fees or charges which the City <br /> should consider implementing, then EES will provide a recommendation as such. <br /> 1.8 Workpapers and Report Documentation <br /> Upon completion of the water rate study, the City with receive five (5) draft reports <br /> of our findings for each study. City management and staff will review the findings <br /> of this report and any comments or suggestions from the City will be incorporated � <br /> into the final report. Fifteen (15) copies of the final report will be provided to the ', <br /> City. Additionally, if requested by the City, complete documentation of all '�, <br /> workpapers used in the preparation of the water rate study will be provided to the �' <br /> City. This should facilitate subsequent updating by City staff with limited input ! <br /> from outside consultants. <br /> 1.9 Public Presentations, Educational Services <br /> EES has planned on a number of project meetings and public presentations of the I <br /> results of this study. Throughout this project, EES will schedule, as appropriate, <br /> project meetings with the City staff. The purpose of these meetings will be to <br /> review the progress and results of the study, and to assure that the assumptions � <br /> and methodology used within the study are consistent with the City's thinking. <br /> It was noted that an initial project meeting with the City staff is a starting point for <br /> this study. Generally, at the same time, a meeting is scheduled with the City <br /> Council to discuss the general concepts, methodologies and philosophies which will <br /> be discussed at a later point in the study. This is in effect an "educational" session <br /> for the City Council. EES has found that our clients find this type of ineeting very <br /> productive and aids in the process of understanding and properly setting rates. <br /> In addition to this meeting, generally a workshop session is scheduled with the City <br /> Council at the mid-point of the study to discuss the findings and results of the <br /> revenue requirement and cost of service process. At that point, the City Council can <br /> provide policy direction to EES before the process of developing the rate options <br /> begins. <br /> Once the rate options are developed, a second workshop meeting can be held with <br /> the City Council to discuss the various rate options that have been developed, and <br /> begin to narrow down the options to those which the City is willing to consider for <br /> adoption. At that point, a public hearing can be held to adopt the final rates. <br /> The final public meeting scheduled would be the public hearing to adopt the final <br /> rates. EES has assumed participation at one public hearing on the final ordinance <br /> to be adopted. For all of these workshop and public hearings, EES will prepare and <br /> Scope of Services 1-12 <br />
