Three bids were received and with the local contractor consideration, Noraa Concrete Construction Corp. was the low bidder. The budget for this project was $201,732 and the bid award is $386,480.20.

Mayor Kreutzer read the title of the Resolution into the record.
Acting City Manager Falconburg introduced Public Works Engineer Christopher Montoya.
Public Works Engineer Christopher Montoya presented the Guardrail Treatment Project. The intent of a guardrail is to keep vehicles from leaving the road and trying to redirect the vehicles to reduce the seriousness of crashes. Staff has been working on identifying assets and putting them into a GIS database. This helps staff to prioritize repairs that need to be completed. This process has helped to identify the guardrails and bridge structures that the City is responsible for maintaining. Staff has identified areas that require a guardrail where none exists and other locations where the guardrails do not meet current standards. This project includes five locations that need repairs based on their priority level. Two bids were received for this project and Cruz Construction, Inc. scored the highest on the bid evaluation. The budget for this project is $165,000, the Engineer estimate is $157,000 and the Contract award is $113,490. Construction would begin around December 1, 2019 and be completed April 30, 2020.

11. UTILITIES BUSINESS ITEMS
Ordinances
A. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BRIGHTON, COLORADO, ACTING BY AND THROUGH ITS WATER ACTIVITY ENTERPRISE, AMENDING TITLE 13 OF THE BRIGHTON MUNICIPAL CODE PERTAINING TO WATER AND WASTEWATER FEES AND CHARGES ASSESSED BY THE CITY OF BRIGHTON; SETTING FORTH EFFECTIVE DATES FOR SAID RATES, FEES AND CHARGES; AND OTHER DETAILS RELATED THERETO (FIRST READING)
Mayor Kreutzer read the title of the Ordinance into the record.
Acting City Manager Falconburg introduced Finance Director Maria Ostrom.
Finance Director Maria Ostrom presented the proposed amendment to Title 13 of the Brighton Municipal Code. Stantec Financial was hired by the City in January to complete the work on the rate study. There are changes proposed to the billing administrations, water and wastewater plant investment fees, developer impact, water and wastewater rates and customer impact. Changes in the billing administration 13-4-120(B) include moving utility billing from the duty of the Director of Utilities to the duty of the Finance Director. The wording was changed in 13-4-20(D) to simplify the dates for notices sent if a bill is not paid by the due date. A change to 13-4-120(E) amends the disconnection of water to ‘may’ occur so there is more flexibility. An amendment to 13-4-120(F) regarding disconnection states that a fee will be added to the next billing statement instead of requiring payment of a fee prior to service being reconnected. Another change allows the bill to be paid in any manner, not a specific type of payment. Changes to 13-4-130(C) allows a homeowner to sign up for budget billing immediately instead of having to wait twelve months. The restriction for having to pay timely for twelve months to get on budget billing has been lifted. Regarding Plant Investment Fees (PIF), the water PIF would increase 21.3% for all tap sizes. In September, City Council asked what it would take to add a softening process to the Greensands expansion and the proposal would include an increase to the water PIF. The wastewater PIF would decrease 62.8% for all tap sizes because the City signed an agreement with Metro Wastewater in 2009 and the City agreed that it would decommission the Wastewater Treatment Plant in 2035. Stantec recommended that water and wastewater rates would decrease 8% and the Thornton contract surcharge would stay the same. Staff is working on acquiring water rights so the City can get off Thornton water. The average customer would pay $110.02 down from $118.70 at the previous rate. Staff recommends approval of the Ordinance. Director Ostrom answered questions from Council regarding:
• The Thornton contract obligating the City to purchase water in perpetuity.
• The status of the discussions regarding the payments due to Metro in 2035.
• Changes to the billing process if the water-softening portion is added.
Debra Parmley, Brighton. Ms. Parmley expressed concern regarding the data that Stantec used for their rate study and feels the tiered structure would be a better choice.
Michael Boutwell, Brighton. Mr. Boutwell does not agree with the Stantec rate study and asked how this decrease would affect his water bill.
Peter Padilla, Brighton. Mr. Padilla feels that the billing simplification proposal would help with some customers receiving large water bills. Mr. Padilla is concerned that the rate decrease at this time would require the City to take on bond debt in the next three years to complete necessary projects.
Motion by Councilmember Johnston, seconded by Councilmember Humbert, to approve the Ordinance. Motion passed by the following vote:
Aye: 9 - Mayor Kreutzer, Mayor Pro Tem Edwards, Councilmember Baca, Councilmember
Blackhurst, Councilmember Humbert, Councilmember Johnston, Councilmember
Mills, Councilmember Pollack, and Councilmember Wallin
